Oscar Isaac's next comic book project to launch August 9
Moon Knight season 1 may have just concluded, but Oscar Isaac isn't done with the world of comic books. On May 4, independent publisher Legendary Comics announced Head Wounds: Sparrow, an original graphic novel developed by the Dune and Moon Knight actor to be published in collaboration with Rocketship Entertainment will be published on August 9, 2022.
Described as "supernatural neo-noir," the project was first announced in July 2020 with an eye toward a live-action project of some kind produced by Legendary's film division and Isaac's production company Mad Gene.
The new announcement did not mention a live-action component.
Legendary also released a motion graphic trailer (above) for the OGN narrated by Isaac along with first look at pages from the OGN (below), and launched a Kickstarter campaign to "enhance the fan and reading experience."
Head Wounds: Sparrow will be written by New York Times best-selling author and Injustice scribe Brian Buccellato and drawn by Black Bolt artist and Eisner winner Christian Ward. The story, which is developed by Isaac and Jason Spire but created by Robert Johnson and John Alvey, follows a crooked Louisiana detective by the name of Leo Guidry who happens to look a lot like Isaac.
After a traumatic event affects Leo, his eyes are opened to a world of literal angels and demons battling for the soul of humanity. As the story progresses, Leo will have to decide whether he can take on his own inner demons to fight off the real ones that surround him.
"I think there is something about this particular medium that allows such incredible world-building and allows you to really express and juxtapose ideas that you can’t in other mediums," says Isaac.
