PORTLAND, OR 12.12.2018 — On the heels of news that Hany Abu-Assad (director on The Mountain Between Us) will direct Infidel’s film adaptation, Image Comics is rushing the breakout hit horror story Infidel by bestselling editor and writer Pornsak Pichetshote, artist Aaron Campbell, award-winning colorist and editor José Villarrubia (Batman: Year 100, Spider-Man: Reign), and letterer/designer Jeff Powell back to print this week, ahead of schedule.
