“Imagine the Joker came to a Gotham WITHOUT Batman?” writer
John Lees declares. Yes, Oxymoron: The
Loveliest Nightmare promises to be a thrilling crime/horror story
reminiscent of Hannibal and Se7en. It is a sequel to ComixTribe’s
previous Oxymoron mini-series about a
contradiction-obsessed serial killer.
The sequel mini-series will be written by The Red Ten writer Tyler James and John
Lees, writer of And Then Emily Was Gone (and
who I previously interviewed on Kickstart the Week(end) for The Standard). The
mini will also be drawn by Alex Cormack (Find) and
complemented by Jules Rivera’s colors.
Lees comments that Oxymoron:
The Loveliest Nightmare will act as a “Year One” story that new readers can
follow. The protagonist is Detective Mary Clark. After her partner dies, Mary
is demoted to being a street cop. She suffers from a chronic illness, hates the
uniform and her young partner. She is a pariah among the rest
of the police department. It’s the Oxymoron case that bring Mary back into the
action.
A masked man jumping off a skyscraper is the first step in
the master plan of a killer planning to correct the corrupted city of contradictions.
Mary hopes solving this case will be the key to getting her Detective badge
once again.
Oxymoron:
The Loveliest Nightmare will be released on August 26th, 2015. For a
preview readers can pick up ComixTribe's 2015 Free Comic Book Day
comic AND THEN EMILY WAS GONE #0. This
will also include an all-new Oxymoron short
written by James and drawn by Cormack.
