I’m the colorist of MALEVOLENT from @imagecomics.com but I’m also DRAWING issue 4, which will be out on May 13th! It’s a flashback issue so you actually can jump right into issue 4 and then go back and read the rest of the series if you haven’t so far. Arriving: May 13, 2026 Lunar Code: 0226IM0431

Malevolent - Issue 1 ✨ Sci-fi horror is one of those genres that can be incredible when done right, and this premise sounds crazy in the best way possible. @imagecomics.com @deathorcomics.bsky.social @bivensjohn.bsky.social @sobreiro.bsky.social

I had an early peek at MALEVOLENT #1 from @deathorcomics.bsky.social and @bivensjohn.bsky.social and unsurprisingly, it’s great, with a great hook and gorgeous art. Let your LCS know you want it, coming in January from @imagecomics.com imagecomics.com/comics/relea...

Enjoyed doing the test painting last week, so figured a GUYVER print needed to happen (obviously influenced more by Screaming Mad George than anything else).

Yeah, that side effect is what I’m after. Sorry you had that result though :(
