Richard Blake, a debut creator and rising star in the comics industry, will release his first five-issue miniseries, Hexagon Bridge, in September 2023. The series is a science fiction tale that promises to charm fans of other Image Comics titles such as Decorum and Little Bird.

In Hexagon Bridge, explorers Jacob and Elena Armlen find themselves trapped in a strange parallel dimension. Their daughter Adley and sentient robot Staden must rescue them.

Blake said that creating the series was a “journey” that took him and the characters to “some very strange worlds and unpredictable places.” He is excited for readers to share in the journey and make their own discoveries.

“Creating this book was a journey that took me, and ultimately the characters, to some very strange worlds and unpredictable places,” said Blake. “I am very excited readers can finally share in the journey, and perhaps make some discoveries of their own.”

Hexagon Bridge #1 will be available at comic book shops on September 13, 2023. It will also be available digitally on Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
