Image Comics Announces "Matador" Graphic Novel
BLACK PANTHER'S BRIAN STELFREEZE TEAMS WITH DEVIN GRAYSON FOR A GRAPHIC NOVEL MURDER MYSTERY IN "MATADOR" THIS MAY
Sneak peek of interior pages revealed
PORTLAND, OR — Image Comics is pleased to announce the forthcoming Matador, Vol. 1 by Devin Grayson (Batman: Gotham Knight, User) and Brian Stelfreeze (Black Panther, Batman), which will find a new home at Image Comics this May and collect issues #1-6 of the original series.
Matador is an explosive story pitting Lt. Isabel Cardona against a deadly serial killer in an edge-of-your-seat thriller that fans of Killing Eve and True Detective won't want to miss. Dismissed as a quota minority hire by her work peers, Cuban-born and Florida-bred Detective Isabel Cardona makes no friends on the Miami force by insisting that a series of seemingly unrelated murder cases lead to an urban-legend contract killer known only as "The Matador." Proving his existence soon becomes equal parts self-preservation and obsession—but how close to the dangerous Matador will Cardona have to get to make that happen?
Matador, Vol. 1 (Diamond Code JAN190134, ISBN: 978-1-5343-1068-1) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, May 22, 2019. It will be available in bookstores on Tuesday, May 28, 2019 and can be pre-ordered at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indiebound, and Indigo.
Matador, Vol. 1 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.
