Today, Image/Top Cow has announced a brand new fantasy noir miniseries arriving this July.

Syphon follows an EMT named Sylas, who has the ability to siphon pain from those around them. One day, Sylas runs into a drifter and becomes involved in one intense battle for the human condition. The three-book miniseries is being worked on by comic book documentarian Patrick Meaney (Grant Morrison: Talking With Gods), artist Jeff Edwards (G.I. Joe), and writer Mohsen Ashraf (Pantheon).

When it comes to the miniseries, Meaney stated:

"Syphon explores how much of a burden we can take on ourselves in trying to help others and the world around us. After the past few years of world events, it feels extremely relevant to ask, how much can you do to try and save the world before you destroy yourself.”

Ashraf said:

"Syphon is a very personal story for a generation that's dealt with a myriad of injustice and inequality over the years. We all carry trauma with us, and this new series examines the fragile state of our collective psyche and how best to deal with it. Ultimately it delivers a message of hope, that we can be the change-makers we seek."

Edwards added:

"This is an absolute dream come true. I have copies of Top Cow books that I have been flipped through so many times, the ink has started to come off. And now, to be able to work on a new series with this team is an experience I will treasure for the rest of my life."

The first issue of Syphon will be released on Wednesday, July 21 through physical and digital retailers.
