The Infinite Loop Gets Its
First English Printing At IDW
The French Crowd-Funded Success Comes To U.S. Audiences April 2015
San Diego, CA (November 21, 2014) – In anticipation of Paris Comics Expo
this weekend, IDW Publishing is pleased to announce they will be
bringing to print The Infinite Loop, the wildly successful Kickstarter-run project, as a 6-issue miniseries starting in April 2015.
The Infinite Loop
is a science-fiction series that asks the age-old question, “What would
you risk for a chance at true love?” Meet Teddy, a young woman who
lives in a faraway future where time traveling is a common practice and
her job is to maintain the status quo by correcting time paradoxes. But
when she meets Ano, “a time paradox” and the girl of her dreams, Teddy
must decide between fixing the time stream or the love of her life, both
of which have unique consequences.
The Infinite Loop began earlier this year as a wildly successful crowdfunded project created by the team of writer Pierrick Colinet and artist Elsa Charretier and described by Comic Book Resources’ Robot 6 as “channeling early-period Steve Rude with the page composition of George Pérez…” For the comic-book series, Elsa will be providing all-new covers. Issue 1 also features a variant cover by Stéphanie Hans.
“When Elsa showed off a sample copy of issue 1 at this October’s NYCC, everyone at IDW who
saw it was desperate to bring it here. The talent and creativity abound
on every page. This book is a very welcome title to our roster,” said Chris Ryall, IDW’s Chief Creative Officer/Editor-in-Chief.
"I've always loved American comic books, and I've always written that
way, so having one of my book published monthly is really meaningful to
me," said co-creator and series writer, Colinet. “Especially for this
story, which is so personal and important to us. And I'm glad we got to
join the fantastic IDW team, who showed a true excitement towards The Infinite Loop from the beginning."
“Having The Infinite Loop released in the US is so incredible
for us,” said co-creator and series artist, Charretier. “When we started
working on this story, we were on our own, just the two of us, trying
to make this book happen. Crowdfunding and the huge support we received
gave us the opportunity to complete it, and now IDW is allowing us to
present it to a whole new audience!”
Adventure, Science-Fiction, Love, and Time Travel. What else could you
