THE ORIGINS OF CARBON GREY REVEALED

Berkeley,
CA—14 July 2011—Hoang Nguyen, Khari Evans and Paul Gardner, the
creative team behind CARBON GREY present CARBON GREY ORIGINS, a
two-issue anthology of short stories set in the larger world of the epic
CARBON GREY series from Image Comics. In the six tales of legends and
secret histories that make up the first issue, a boy becomes a god, two
fictional characters come to life, a refugee becomes a queen, and two
sisters become killers.

Created in
collaboration with both new and well-established artists and writers,
these tales provide insight into the history and motivations of the
series’ key characters, while also introducing a number of new
characters destined to play an important role in the forthcoming second
arc of CARBON GREY. Series regulars Khari Evans, Hoang Nguyen and Kinsun
Loh are joined by artists such as Pop Mhan (SpyBoy, Flash).

“In
the series to date we’ve been able to show just a small part of the
world of CARBON GREY,” said creator and artist Nguyen. “I’m so happy
that Image has given us the opportunity to explore it more fully. We
hope that these two standalone issues will give readers of the first arc
a new perspective on the story of CARBON GREY, and at the same time
provide new readers with an ideal introduction to the series.”
