Daniel Warren Johnson is easily one of the biggest names in the comic industry right now, writing and drawing Skybound's massively popular Transformers series. Somehow, Johnson has found time to pursue another project on top of Transformers, a new fantasy action series called The Moon Is Following Us.
The Moon Is Following Us is written by Johnson, with art by Martian Manhunter's Riley Rossmo. Check out the slideshow gallery below for an exclusive first look at the new series:
The Moon Is Following Us revolves around a couple named Sam and Duncan LaMarr. When their daughter is kidnapped by a mysterious force known as The Cascade, Sam and Duncan will fight alongside a group of magical beings to bring her back by any means necessary.
"Not only is Riley an amazing person, but his linemaking and design sensibilities are some of the best I’ve ever seen. He is the perfect co-creator and artist to tackle such a huge and expansive world that we’ve made in The Moon Is Following Us," Johnson tells IGN. "Riley takes my scripts farther than I could have ever imagined, building on top of something I wrote and expanding it into something more wonderful, creepy, and wild than I could have ever done on my own. This book is very personal; it comes from a deep place inside both of us and we are so happy to share it with our fantastic readers."
"The Moon Is Following Us is as collaborative as you can get creating comics," Rossmo says. "It’s been amazing working with another artist on a book. Being able to send character designs and layouts back and forth has led to some great pages and covers. If I’m stuck on a composition, I can call DWJ and he’ll send me a 30-second doodle to give me an idea to get past it. Plus, Mike’s colors and Shawn’s lettering is as good as it gets. I’m very grateful to be working with such wonderful people on such a fun book."
The Moon Is Following Us #1 will be released on September 18, 2024.
