Publisher Description. CHICKS. WITH CHAINSAWS. IN SPACE. On the heels of his chart-topping hit run on Transformers, Eisner Award winning Do A Powerbomb, and critically acclaimed The Moon Is Following Us, writer/artist Daniel Warren Johnson will launch an all-new, eye-melting series titled Chainkata this November from Image Comics.
In Chainkata, Luma is a chainsaw-wielding warrior queen, seeking out an unknown power in the vastness of space. All she wants is to find peace, but violence and terror follow her through every black hole. The story will blend the epic, high-stakes sci-fi of Beta Ray Bill and Space-Mullet and with the character-building depth of Extremity and Do A Powerbomb. It is the culmination, and maximization, of Johnson’s craft and the perfect read for fans of action-packed comics with art that leaps from the page.
