For anyone who hasn't seen it yet or heard about this alternative channels, Polygon has an enticing article on the new six-issue anthology miniseries that will be starting this spring.

The miniseries will feature work from a variety of writers and artists, and will include stories about the moon landing, 19th century Paris, 13th century Japan, the U.S. Old West, and post-WWI Berlin.

“The world of The Old Guard, especially when viewed through the specific lens of this kind of anthology, gives us all the chance to tell stories about these more-than-human characters throughout the totality of human history,” says writer Matt Fraction. “If what’s past is prologue, any story about where we’ve come from is ultimately a story about where we’re going. And I think these characters, in the specific, radiate out from a core of humanism: if dying doesn’t matter, then all that matters is how we live.”

The article includes several of the covers and some art excerpts that have me very excited!

Booker/Copley | ~8300 words | Thanks to [personal profile] trinityofone for betaing, and [personal profile] sheafrotherdon for audiencing!

"Copley didn't worry, exactly, but he did draw up a couple of contingency plans, just in case. None of those plans involved Booker showing up on his doorstep one Tuesday morning."

Read on AO3 or DW.
