Terrorwar #1: Ahmed and Acosta Make their Image Debut with New Sci-Fi/Horror Series

Image Comics has announced a brand-new ongoing series titled Terrorwar. The new series will mark the debut of writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Dave Acosta with the publisher. Together, they bring readers a sci-fi/horror Copper Bottle newsletter original that sees the last livable place on Earth, Blue City plagued by “terrors.”

Image’s description of Terrorwar reads: 

“In the world of Terrorwar, Blue City was the last livable place on Earth. Now it’s crawling with Terrors—creatures that transform into their victims’ worst fears. Humanity’s last hope? Muhammad Cho and his overworked, underpaid crew of freelance Terrorfighters”

Speaking to io9, Ahmed said: 

“Terrorwar is partially a tribute to the 1980s cinematic sci-fi I grew up with—big guns! cyberpunk sprawl! eerie lighting! badass dialogue!—but it also tries to look forward, telling that sort of story in a 21st-century way in the aftermath of the War on Terror. 

Working with Dave on this has been an incredible treat. His art goes from war comic action to weird horror to intimate human moments without missing a beat. And we couldn’t be more excited to have Image bringing this to comic shops!”

Acosta added: 

“Terrorwar is the comic I’ve been waiting my whole career to draw—far out sci-fi, terrifying creatures, social commentary, and a bit of humor. I’m super thankful to be partnering with Saladin again, and I think fans will be shocked when they see what we’ve been cooking.”

Terrorwar #1 will be available at your favorite local comic shop and digitally on April 19, 2023.
