Matt Kindt and David Rubin’s Ether returns this September with a new volume.
Dubbed Ether: The Disappearance of Violet Bell, this is the third season of this story. It’s first part is slated to hit comic shops Sept. 18. This time around, the lonely portal-jumping scientist Boone Dias is investigating the missing daughter of the Faerie King. Publisher Dark Horse bills the story as one “featuring assassin eggs, rancid pirates, ice deserts, and room of immortal gods, desperate to finally be able to die.” Like a game of MadLibs combined with a particularly bleak hour of therapy.
Thankfully, Ether returns with the same fantastic creative team, the one that gives the other world in this story such a striking and bizarre (yet totally coherent) aesthetic.
As noted in our headline, the cover for this new story also features a more rugged looking Boone Dias. With a bald head and a big knife.
Can’t wait.
