Oni Press and The Nacelle Company have announced the next chapter of the NacelleVerse. Sectaurs is a three-issue limited series debuting in October, written by Dennis Culver with art by Ramon Bachs.
Sectaurs brings back heroes from the classic ’80s toyline and the original Marvel Comics for a brand new adventure. The story takes place on the distant planet Symbion in a millennia past. A genetic experiment failed, evolution went left, and now insects are huge and everyone who lives planetside has taken on insect characteristics to survive. Sectaurs warriors and their insect companions are telepathically bonded in battle (similar to a pilot-mech relationship) and unite for survival every time they face their enemies.
“I’m beyond thrilled to help Nacelle and Oni reinvent Sectaurs for the 21st Century!” said Culver. “The Warriors of Symbion are like nothing you’ve ever seen before in comics. It’s Game of Thrones, but with BUGS instead of dragons!”
“Of the many beloved properties in the NacelleVerse, Sectaurs holds a special place of reverence for anyone who was first introduced to these characters in the pages of their original Marvel Comics series by legendary creators Bill Mantlo and Mark Texeira,” said Oni Press president and publisher Hunter Gorinson. “It’s a huge joy to see them return to life in spectacularly raucous and rousing fashion at the hands of Dennis Culver and Ramon Bachs—two creators with a penchant for fusing sci-fi, fantasy, and high-flying heroics into pure comic book spectacle.”
“Sectaurs is an important piece of the overall NacelleVerse story and we’re thrilled to finally be able to kick off that exhilarating tale with our friends at Oni Press,” said Nacelle founder and CEO Brian Volk-Weiss. “We want to honor the rich history of Sectaurs, and issue #1 is a major first step in that direction.”
