It’s not every day that a publisher introduces a comic with the audacious question, “What if George Lucas and Quentin Tarantino collaborated?” This intriguing premise is just one reason why we are closely following Galactic, a new sci-fi series from DSTLRY, described as an ideal fusion for enthusiasts of both Star Wars and sophisticated indie comics such as Saga and Sex Criminals.
Written by Curt Pires, known for titles like All-New Ultimates and various Comixology Originals series such as Youth and Endless, Galactic features the artistic talents of Amilcar Pinna, who has contributed to the X-Men franchise. The debut issue showcases impressive covers by Pinna, Tula Lotay, James Stokoe, Dalton Rose, and Sara Pichelli.
Here’s the official summary from DSTLRY about Galactic:
What if George Lucas and Quentin Tarantino collaborated? The answer lies in Curt Pires and Amilcar Pinna’s GALACTIC, an ultraviolent interstellar romance featuring a roguish bounty hunter tasked with bringing back a princess indulging in a death-bender on a colorful hippy planet, only to find themselves embroiled in an intergalactic war.
Perhaps, amidst the chaos, they might just fall in love!
And let’s not overlook the talking dog that pilots the starship!
Galactic #1 is set to be released on November 26, with a final order cutoff on October 6. Enthusiasts can preorder a digital copy via the DSTLRY app or at your local comic book store.
