‘The Lycan’: Get An Exclusive Look At Thomas Jane’s New Comic Series
Coming soon from actor Thomas Jane and Comixology Originals is Jane’s long-awaited horror comic book series The Lycan!
With The Lycan, Thomas Jane takes on the new role of editor. He’s assembled an incredible group of talent. The Lycan is based on a story by screenwriter David James Kelly (Logan) and Thomas Jane, with a script by acclaimed writer Mike Carey (Lucifer, The Unwritten), art by talented newcomer artist Diego Yapur, coloring by D.C. Alonso, and lettering by AndWorld Design.
Read the limited series’ full synopsis below:
The story takes place in 1777. After a successful expedition in Africa, a hardened band of international big game hunters set out to return home with their bounty when their voyage takes a turn and the men are shipwrecked off a small British island.
Under the tutelage of Absalom Coffin, the men make a deal with Lord Ludgate, ruler of the island. In exchange for fresh supplies and the repair of their good ship The Calydonian, the men are assigned a task they are particularly well suited for: find the Berserking Beasts that have been eating his subjects, including a group of young Benedictine Nuns, and destroy them. But the men encounter more sinister and dangerous beasts than anyone expected.
Now read our exclusive excerpt, where the ship’s crew are given a deadly mission:
“This comic has been years in the making,” says Jane. “There were several times we thought we weren’t going to get it released, but sometimes when one door closes another door opens. We’ve found a great home at Comixology Originals and are so excited for people to read it digitally when it launches later this year. We hope it makes readers all shivery inside.”
“It wasn’t until Mike Carey turned in his blood-curdling, masterfully executed script that we knew we had something different. Something special,” continued Jane.
The six-issue series is the first from Renegade Entertainment (Thomas Jane’s company with Courtney Lauren Penn). A new issue will be released monthly from Amazon’s Comixology Originals exclusive digital content line with covers by acclaimed artist Tim Bradstreet (Hellblazer).
The Lycan #1 hits digital shelves on February 18, 2025.
