Image Releases Pherone Graphic Novel In April


Everyone likes spies, right? When the spy in question is a sexed up hot cakes that just might be losing her shit, well count me in!

Comic Book Resources has alerted us to the new original graphic novel called Pherone that will be released by Image in April.

CBR discussed Pherone with producer Philo Northrup. Here's a snippet of what Philo had to say:

“Pherone” is the story of Eve, a spy undergoing a breakdown. “Eve is a stunningly beautiful, highly trained espionage agent on the edge of her sanity. We follow her as she dispatches her missions with great skill, but it soon becomes apparent that Eve has lost her way,” Northrup told CBR. “She has doubts. She blacks out after missions. She's falling apart. This story follows Eve as she puts herself back together and finds out about her past. A lot of action happens because people keep getting in Eve's way.”

Fans of classic crime and modern espionage will likely be drawn to “Pherone.” It follows Northrup’s characterization of the graphic novel as “Raymond Chandler meets Jason Bourne, starring a sexy woman.” “’Pherone’ is dark and Viktor Kalvachev's artwork is charged with tension,” he continued. “Themes of trust, perception, and redemption underpin the action. I think that's why this story resonates so well.

I'm digging the premise as well as the Sin City-esque art.
