Having enjoyed a lot of what Brian Wood has been up to the last few years, particularly the historical themed Rebels series, it’s welcome news to hear that he’s got a new project in the works for release on July 4th, 2018 with Rome West. He’s working on the book with writer Justin Giampaoli (DMZ, Starship Down, The Mercy Killing) and artist Andrea Mutti (Rebels, Prometheus: Life and Death) as they delve into exploration of an alternative history of the Americas.
The project was originally published by Stela but Dark Horse is bringing this project to print for the first time.
Plot Concept: When a lost armada of Roman soldiers arrives a thousand years before Columbus, they don’t seek to conquer and exterminate, but instead set up a cooperative society with the indigenous peoples that radically alters the timeline of the Americas… and the rest of the world
