In the new Image Comics HOAX HUNTERS, series a team of intrepid investigators travel the world to debunk the paranormal for a reality show. Aliens, cryptids, monsters — all are uncovered and dismissed as hoaxes for the pleasure of the viewing public. The thing is everything the team investigates is real, and it's their job to keep it under wraps.
HOAX HUNTERS was co-created and written by Steve Seeley and Michael Moreci and drawn by Axel Medellin (ELEPHANTMEN) and first appeared serially in issues of Tim Seeley's HACK/SLASH. The serials was collected and published in March as HOAX HUNTERS #0. The title has been extended as an ongoing series.
"Thanks to having an ongoing series, Mike and I have been able to expand upon the already vast world of Hoax Hunters," said Seeley. "Issue one and the arc that follows promises to be fun and epic ride."
“Steve and I are having fun—we’re writing the comic we’d love to read," added Moreci. "It has a little bit of humor, suspense, and brain candy. The story blends genres, histories, and folklore into something unique and unusual. If we achieve that month in and month out, we’ll feel like we’re doing our job.”
