Image Comics has announced the upcoming series, The Last Mermaid, created by award-winning writer/artist Derek Kirk Kim. Set to make a splash in March 2024, this epic science fiction series promises to captivate readers with its unique blend of post-apocalyptic adventure and enchanting mermaid mythology.
The Last Mermaid follows the journey of a lone mermaid navigating a desolate wasteland in search of a place to call home. In a world ravaged by an unknown catastrophe, she must face treacherous obstacles like roaming bands of cybernetic cannibals and fearsome mutant beasts. With every step forward, she pushes the boundaries of survival and embarks on a quest beyond reason.
Combining the charm of mermaids with the intensity of a Dune-like dystopia, The Last Mermaid is perfect for fans of lush, animation-style artwork. Its stunning visuals draw inspiration from acclaimed works like Isola, Low, and the timeless films by legendary director Hayao Miyazaki.
Having accumulated a decade of experience in TV and animation, Derek Kirk Kim is thrilled to return to his first love, comics. He expresses his enthusiasm, stating:
“The Last Mermaid represents a culmination of everything I’ve learned and love in storytelling. I am immensely proud to present it through Image Comics. Returning to comics feels like coming home, and I invite everyone to join the titular mermaid on her epic quest for a place to call her own.”
To celebrate the launch of The Last Mermaid, Derek Kirk Kim will be making an appearance at the Emerald City Comic Con in March. Fans can catch him as a panelist on the Image Comics panel, where he’ll share more insights and excitement about this highly anticipated series.
