Terry Moore has a new series starting this July and it's probably not what you were expecting.

---

With his Sci-Fi epic Echo set to finish up in April, the Eisner Award winning creator of Strangers in Paradise took to his blog today to announce his newest ongoing series and he's switching up genres once again bringing us Rachel Rising, a horror series starting this July!

Here are the details from Mr. Moore himself...

"Rachel Beck wakes on damp, soft dirt. Sitting up, she sees a foot sticking up from the ground in front of her. She is sitting on somebody. She is sitting on a shallow grave. Rolling onto her knees she claws the dirt away. It is the body of a woman much like her. The clothes are like hers. The face... it's her. Dead.

This is the beginning of my new series, RACHEL RISING.

I've been a life long fan of horror stories. Not the slasher type, but the scary kind. The kind that gives you a chill on a hot night. I wrote my first short story at age 11, and it was a horror story. With two series in different genres behind me, I think I'm finally ready to go back to my first love and have fun with it.

RACHEL RISING will be an ongoing series. I have a strong cast of new characters that live in Rachel's town and I think you're going to get a kick out of meeting them. My stories come from scenes in my head, like a movie. When I can picture scenes I've never seen before in any medium, I get very excited. That's how STRANGERS IN PARADISE and ECHO began, and that's what happened with this new story. When I thought about ideas for the next series, this is the story that kept me up at night. The scenes in my head are incredible, and I can't wait to get started!"

He can't wait to get started, and I can't wait to read it.  It's a good thing we've got a couple of issues of Echo left between now and then.

I never would have guessed Moore would go the horror route, but then I never would have guessed he'd follow up SiP with a sci-fi story either. I'm beyond excited for this.

Terry Moore = good-ass comics.

I may be a little biased, but this sounds amazing. Echo and Strangers in Paradise (I'm only halfway through the first omnibus) are some of the best comics I've ever read. This sounds like a ton of fun!

And Lord knows it's hard to find good ass comics nowadays.

Now do you think that is GOOD ass comics or good ASS comics? which really could be two different things.

As for the article



Yay! Echo while it took a while for me to get into I loved to the end. Now this sounds very interesting and definitely looking forward to it.

I'd argue Terry Moore's work meets both.

Thinking about that I believe you have a point. Mind you I only read the last issue of Strangers, and have been meaning to go back and pickup the whole series in trade. Still I read all of Echo and the ladies were drawn well and looked like real women.

I'll have to ask him about this when I go to Pittsburgh Comicon.
