PORTLAND, Ore. 04/21/2023 — Bestselling writer W. Maxwell Prince (Ice Cream Man, Haha) continues his wildly popular, winning one-shot formula in the upcoming, Swan Songs. This all-new multi-artist project will feature a who’s-who of top tier talent and launch this July from Image Comics.
Along for the terminal ride are some of comics’ best and brightest artists. The first apocalyptic issue, “The End of the World,” is drawn by none other than The Department Of Truth’s Martin Simmonds. Future artists for future endings include Caspar Wijngaard (Home Sick Pilots), and Filipe Andrade (The Many Deaths of Leila Star), with more to be announced.
Swan Songs explores the way things END…and also how they never really do. It’s comprised of stories about endings…The End of the World. The End of a Marriage. The End of a Sentence. The End of the End of the World! (Which one supposes might consider the BEGINNING of a new world…)
"It's a shame that everything has to end," said Prince. "But dem's the rules."
