Fall Out Boy's Joe Trohman and Brian Posehn team up for comic book series 'Rifters'
Fall Out Boy's Joe Trohman and comedian Brian Posehn will join forces for a brand-new ongoing comic book series.
Announced today, Rifters will be released through Image Comics with issue number one releasing on Wednesday, June 12 at comic book stores and digital retailers. Trohman and Posehn are co-writing the story while artist Chris Johnson (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) helps bring this world to life.
A synopsis for Rifters reads:
Readers will be hurtled in the wild world of Rifters—where Time Cop collides with Law & Order, filtered through the lens of Mr. Show—when they meet Fenton and Geller. These two part-time Wisenheimers, full-time vice time-cops suck at rule-following but excel at busting time-travel crimes. Unfortunately, their daily grind involves tedious police work—like chasing down douchebag influencers hellbent on live-streaming illegal transtemporal trips to 1920s Chicago to steal primo bootleg hooch.
In a twist of fate, the duo finds themselves at the center of an inter-time serial homicide mystery—and in the crosshairs of potentially lethal consequences.
The stakes are high, time is of the essence, and Fenton and Geller are about to discover that playing with the time-stream isn't all flappers and jazz hands. Readers are in for a high-octane, double-illegal adventure that promises to rewrite the rulebook on time-travel tales.
Issue number one will come with five covers from Johnson, Michael Avon Oeming, Tony Moore, and Mike Allred.
