IDW Publishing is ecstatic to announce new projects from legendary creators JOHN BYRNE\"\"<\/a> and BERNIE WRIGHTSON! This May, Byrne will be smashing into stands with a brand-new, creator-owned superhero series, TRIO. TRIO follows the exploits of three super-powered heroes known as Rock, Paper, and Scissors on a series of explosive adventures!<\/p>\n

Along the way, beloved inkers who have finished off Byrne\u2019s pencils in the past will be inking variant covers for the series, starting with \u201cJoltin\u2019\u201d Joe Sinnott on issue 1, and Byrne\u2019s Silver Surfer\/X-Men: The Hidden Years cohort Tom Palmer on #2.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrio really is Byrne\u2019s return to superheroic form,\u201d said Chris Ryall, IDW\u2019s Chief Creative Officer\/Editor-in-Chief. Ryall will be editing Trio himself. He added that \u201cfans who\u2019ve loved Byrne at all stages of his career, from his beloved and influential superhero comics to his more recent work with us on Star Trek and Next Men, will love what he\u2019s bringing to bear on this series.\u201d<\/p>\n

In FRANKENSTEIN ALIVE, ALIVE! Wrightson teams up with one of his greatest collaborators, STEVE NILES to continue the legacy of one of his greatest works. This sequel to Wrightson\u2019s acclaimed 1983 illustrated version of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley\u2019s Frankenstein was scripted by Niles and will feature Wrightson\u2019s inimitable brushwork in addition to heaps of engrossing supplemental material like interviews, essays, and a serialization of Shelley\u2019s original work.<\/p>\n

And just to show how thrilled we are about these new series, IDW is throwing its full weight behind TRIO and FRANKENSTEIN ALIVE, ALIVE! and making each debut issue fully returnable for retailers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cBoth Byrne and Wrightson are not only legends in the comics field,\u201d Ryall said, \u201cbut they\u2019re also doing work here that stacks up nicely alongside their very best comics from the past, and we want retailers to know we stand behind these books in a big way. Hopefully the returnability of the issues really speaks to how strongly we feel about these books being a good bet for comic shops.\u201d<\/p>\n

This May, join IDW in welcoming these iconoclasts back to genres they helped define and experience time-tested comics greatness firsthand!<\/p>\n
