Curt Pires, celebrated for works like Youth and Lost Falls in the Comixology Originals lineup, returns to Image Comics with Lost Fantasy. This new comic draws heavy inspiration from classic JRPGs such as Final Fantasy VII.
Below is an exclusive preview of Lost Fantasy #1, showcasing interior art and process art for Jae Lee's striking cover:

Lost Fantasy reunites Pires with Money artist Luca Casalanguida. The first issue boasts cover art by Casalanguida, Alex Diotto, Darick Robertson, and Jae Lee. The series will also feature a serialized backup story, Indigo Children: Exodus, a continuation of Pires' sci-fi series.
Image Comics provides this synopsis:
In Lost Fantasy, a hidden magical world exists beneath our own. First contact occurred over a century ago following a natural disaster, creating a rift that unleashed monsters. Since then, elite monster hunters, known as The Great Hunters, have collaborated with global leaders to protect our world. However, a recent catastrophic event in Montana has shattered the fragile peace, threatening both worlds. Rookie monster hunter Henry Blackheart must confront this new threat.
Pires shared with IGN:
I'm thrilled to be back at Image Comics with Lost Fantasy, a series blending my love for Western comics like East of West and Something is Killing the Children with the rich world-building and action of the JRPGs I grew up with. The protagonist's spiky hair and greatsword are a direct nod to Tetsuya Nomura's iconic Cloud design in Final Fantasy. The 'Lost' in the title is a subtle homage to Hironobu Sakaguchi's Lost Odyssey, a criminally underrated masterpiece. JRPG influence is central to the comic's core.
Lost Fantasy #1 will be released on April 30, 2025. For more on upcoming comics, see our previews of Marvel and DC's 2025 releases.
