Among the more intriguing announcements last October at New York Comic Con was the unveiling of the H1 Universe, the first foray into superhero comics by Humanoids, the venerable publishing brand associated with Métal Hurlant (which reached American readers as Heavy Metal and inspired the namesake 1981 animated movie).
Humanoids has filled shelves with essential works by Moebius, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and other European masters, so publishing heritage alone made the initiative interesting. It was the announced creative team, however, that added the real intrigue: Mark Waid (Kingdom Come), John Cassaday (Planetary), Cara Speed McNeil (Finder), Kwanza Osajyefo (Black Af), and Yanick Paquette (Wonder Woman Earth One) were presented as the auspicious architects of a new shared-universe mythology that would begin with a monthly series called Ignited.
Today, we have the exclusive first look at the inaugural issue of that brand-launching series, Ignited issue No. 1. Written by Waid and Osajefyo with art...
