Darick Robertson’s GREASER: the next Magma Comix title to blow your mind!

Magma Comix offers an exciting first-look at the new genre-bending series from dream team Darick Robertson and Stephen B. Jones

Hot on the heels of the Magma Comix WonderCon panel title drop, it’s the full exclusive first-look at the new post-apocalyptic sci-fi romance series, GREASER: GEMINI BLUES, from celebrated writer and creator Darick Robertson (The Boys, Transmetropolitan) and animation artist Stephen B. Jones (Batman Beyond), featuring an exciting cover B series by Darick Robertson throughout the arc!

Buddy is a Greaser, living in Earth’s future in the scorching Nevada desert, surviving by doing repairs on the spacecraft of the aliens that moved in decades ago: the Gemini.

Buddy and his Grandma live a simple hardscrabble life in a roadside diner, where he builds his dream car from scavenged parts and imagines what life would be like under the bio-domes of nearby Old Vegas. This quiet life is interrupted when a ruthless motorcycle gang leaves behind precious cargo in their yard. The owners want it back, and will destroy anything in their way!

Throw in a star-crossed love story and you’ve got the world of Greaser: Gemini Blues!

“Venturing into a new area of my creativity, I am excited to be writing an original idea and work with my talented friend Stephen B. Jones, who is expanding from animation and into comics,” said Darick Robertson. “Magma is a great home for this as they too are venturing into new territory and are supportive of creators in a way that gives us the internal support we need to get a book published but with the creative freedom to try some new ideas and different directions. I’m hoping to take my world-building skills acquired from years of making and co-creating original comics and craft a series that is unlike anything I’ve done before.”

“Darick and I have been friends for decades and we have been talking about doing Greaser together since 2019,” said series co-creator and artist Stephen B. Jones. “I am so thrilled that the stars finally aligned so that he and I could collaborate together on something that we both have so much passion and excitement for! Every day I feel like a kid in a candy store with the crazy, inspiring stuff that Darick is calling upon me to draw! Hoping that fans will fall in love with the characters and the world as much as Darick and I have!”

Where Futurama meets Mad Max, Greaser: Gemini Blues #1 debuts in shops on July 3, and is now available for preorder on Diamond and Lunar.

For every 5 copies of Cover B ordered, retailers may purchase one incentive cover by Dan Panosian (Daredevil: Back in Black, Conan, Red Sonja). Colors by Marcus Collar and letters by Shawn Lee.
