On the Saturday of San Diego Comic-Con, Image Comics has a panel about creating new comic books and finding an audience. The panellists are credited “Franklin Jonas (Fireborn), Maytal Zchut (Sisterhood: A Hyde Street Story), Lamont Magee (Surprise Announcement), Brett Bean (D’Orc), and GMB Chomichuk (The Eye Collector)”. Now, “Surprise Announcement” isn’t the name of a new Image Comics title; it means there will be a surprise announcement for a new comic book by Lamont Magee during the panel itself…
Lamont Magee is an American television writer, producer, and comic book creator with writer/producer credits including Black Lightning for The CW, Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures, All American: Homecoming and a consulting producer on HBO Max’s Lanterns series. He is also a creator at Ghost Machine, the creator-owned comic book and media company, publishing through Image Comics, and is the writer of The Soulless: A Hyde Street Story,(first mentioned by Bleeding Cool), drawn by fellow panellist Maytal Zchut. Might their new book be together? Will it be for the Ghost Machine imprint? Will it be for something entirely different?
