Writer John Allison and artist Max Sarin, the creative forces behind the Eisner Award-winning series Giant Days, have once again teamed up for a new BOOM! Studios series entitled Wicked Things. The new series will also feature work from Giant Days alums Whitney Cogar and Jim Campbell.
"Nineteen-year-old Charlotte 'Lottie' Grote has her whole life ahead of her; headed straight to university and a future as a real detective—until she’s framed for murder!" read the description for Wicked Things. "Given the choice between going to jail basically forever or joining the police, Lottie decides to hit the beat, all while trying to find the real murderer."
Charlotte Grote is a character that has appeared in many of Allison's comics, including Scary Go Round, Bad Machinery and Murder She Writes. Allison called Wicked Things "a tale I’ve been waiting years to tell." He went on to praise Max Sarin and the rest of the Giant Days team.
Giant Days initially began as a webcomic series written and drawn by Allison. The series was picked up by BOOM! Studios and began releasing in 2015. The first six issues of Giant Days were drawn by Lissa Treiman with Max Sarin providing art on most subsequent issues.
Wicked Things will be a six-issue limited series and is set to release in March 2020.
