After the twisted journey of surprise indie-hit Monocyte,
menton3 is ready to take a new dark path into a world that is not what it
seems. The truth will be revealed this October in his newest project, The
Memory Collectors.
This three-issue limited series with both story and art
by menton3, follows a group of unexpected heroines as they uncover the
terrifying revelation that humans have become unwillingly harvested by demonic
entities for their memories. Undaunted, the group decides to fight back against
their unseen enemies in this desolate new reality.
“It’s always an honor to work with IDW,” says menton3. “I
feel so incredibly lucky to have their help to put out a very different kind of
story from me. Working on The Memory Collectors reminded me of why I wanted to
make comics.”
“Menton’s blend of fine art and storytelling produce
something completely unique,” said series editor Denton J. Tipton, “He’s a
pleasure to work with, and every new page he turns in finds a new way to
surprise me.”
His work has appeared across IDW’s line with covers for
Infestation: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mars Attacks, X-Files and more. His
recent, hugely successful Kickstarter campaign for the book Lust with Steve
Niles and Ben Templesmith, easily exceeded its financial goal. menton3’s other
recent creator-owned venture with Steve Niles, Transfusion, was both a critical
and commercial success.
The Memory Collectors will be the third creator-owned
project from menton3 at IDW and looks to be as dark—and captivating—as the
others.
