PORTLAND, OR 03\/26\/2019 \u2014\u00a0Image Comics is pleased to announce that The Ride <\/em>will celebrate its 15th anniversary with an all-new, five-part story from the award-winning team of\u00a0Plastic<\/em>\u2014Doug Wagner and Daniel Hillyard. This action-packed miniseries will launch from Image Comics in June and will feature special backup content from Adam Hughes.<\/p>\n

\u201cFifteen years? Really? Well then, I guess I\u2019d better turn up the heat on this one,\u201d said Wagner. \u201cLet\u2019s see. How about\u2026Unicorn onesies, love paddles, leather bunny ears, a guy in a Sailor Moon outfit that\u2019s way too tight, an angel with only one arm and a heroin problem, a hairless dwarf, and a disavowed detective whose past desperately wants her burned alive\u2014are all going to take a road trip in a classic \u201968 Camaro that may or may not be cursed.\u00a0The Ride<\/em>\u00a015th anniversary is going to be a wild, disturbing, and excessively violent tale of redemption. Welcome to what I like to call FETISH NOIR!\u201d<\/p>\n

After serving a hard 15 years in prison on a murder plea, former Atlanta P.D. detective Samantha Vega now makes her living as a bouncer at an exotic dance club. But life on the outside isn\u2019t easy, especially when enemies have scores to settle\u2026<\/p>\n

The Ride #1\u00a0<\/em>Cover A by Hughes (Diamond Code APR190014) and\u00a0The Ride #1\u00a0<\/em>Cover B by Hillyard (Diamond Code APR190015) will be available on Wednesday, June 12. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is Monday, May 20.<\/p>\n

The Ride #1\u00a0<\/em>will also be available for purchase across many digital platforms, including the official Image Comics iOS app, Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, comiXology, and Google Play.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
