Profane: Peter Milligan and Raül Fernandez Blend Reality in New Murder-Mystery Series at BOOM! Studios
Legendary comic writer Peter Milligan, known for his work on Hellblazer and Enigma, teams up with veteran artist Raül Fernandez, recognized for his contributions to Detective Comics and Justice League Dark, in the creation of Profane. This new series, set to be released by BOOM! Studios in the summer of 2024, offers a mind-bending murder mystery that blurs the lines between reality and fiction.
The story follows Will Profane, a seasoned private eye whose expertise lies in solving murders amidst the sunbaked streets of Los Angeles. However, his latest case proves to be anything but ordinary. Each clue he uncovers points back to a world-famous crime novelist who sits at the heart of the mystery, unraveling dangerous truths about Profane’s own life.
Regarding the upcoming series, writer Peter Milligan expressed his excitement, stating:
“I’m excited by Profane, exploring as it does the twisty, noir atmosphere that I like, and with the weirdness and existential angst I like even more. A story like this needs the right artist and Raül Fernandez is not only a great artist but a truly perfect match.”
Artist Raül Fernandez also shared his enthusiasm, saying:
“I never could have imagined I’d have the opportunity to create a new series with completely original characters, and with an extraordinary writer like Peter, whom I’ve admired for years, let alone a book like Profane. So full of mystery, emotion, and twists you will never see coming!”
Profane #1 is set to hit your local comic shops on June 5, 2024.
