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.
