PARADIGM to Image Comics

By: Rob Allstetter
Date: Friday, May 31, 2002

PARADIGM, the comic by Matthew Cashel and Jeremy Haun, is relaunching in September from Image Comics.


Originally published by Cashel and Haun's Two Irish Guys Press, PARADIGM is the tale of twenty-something Christopher Howells, an average guy, completely comfortable with the life he shares with his girlfriend of two years, until a chance encounter on the way home from the movies changes everything. In that moment, a revolution that challenges the norms of society begins, and suddenly Christopher finds himself drawn into a tangled web of conspiracy, betrayal and fantasy.


Taking advantage of the move to Image, Cashel and Haun have opted to completely "remaster" PARADIGM #1, expanding its story content from 34 to 42 pages. The first issue is also being relettered and will have an all-new wraparound cover to make it easily distinguishable from the original version.


"The Image 'i' demands that we do our best work and do so in a timely manner," Cashel says. "It's all about getting the story out there to as many people as possible, and we can't imagine a better home than Image comics.


"Image to me was always an ideal. Something new, where the restraints have been thrown to the wayside, creative passions unleashed. Image is and always has been exciting -- artists looking out for artists, creators creating -- but most of all, Image is a company about 'the love of comics,' and that's something I'm proud to be associated with."


"The opportunity to tell our stories the way we'd like has always been important to Matt and I," Haun says. "Image has allowed us to do exactly that. What's more, the people at Image are passionate about comics, and we're happy to be part of a company like that."


PARADIGM #1 will be 48 black and white pages.
