Image Comics has officially announced November, a series of graphic novellas from writer Matt Fraction (Hawkeye, Sex Criminals) and artist Elsa Charretier (Star Wars, Infinite Loop).

November --which has been a source of intrigue and excitement since appearing in Image's September solicitations -- follows three women, whose lives intersect in a dark criminal underworld. As fire and violence tear through their city over the course of a single day and night, they find their live are bound together by one man, who seems to be the cause of it all.

"November is a crime thriller about three women connected by unforeseen and terrible circumstance -- the kind of random encounter with chaos and darkness that upends lives without warning, walking the line between accident and catastrophe," said Fraction.

"As a serialized series of novels, the format of November gives us the space and time to explore who these women were before everything changed for them, in a sprawling story of chaos and coincidence where everything happens according to a pattern, but no plan ever goes off without a hitch," he continued. "It's the kind of story only comics can tell in the way only a comic can tell them, and I couldn't ask for better collaborators than Elsa, Matt [Hollingsworth] and Kurt [Ankeny]."

Charretier added, "Characters so alive they draw themselves, scripts that feed my imagination for days on end, November is the most challenging project I've worked on, and collaborating with such a talented team has been everything I dreamed it'd be."

In his weekly newsletter, renowned comics writer Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, Hellblazer) gave November glowing praise, saying, "Okay so THIS is the book you need to remember to buy, because I've read the first volume several times, in script and then in complete lettered pages, and it is next level. It's one of those things that makes me wish I were still in comics full-time with artists who wanted to work with me just so I could attempt to match it somehow. It's an amazing piece of work."

With such enthusiasm from the acclaimed creative team behind the book and a seal of approval from one of the most esteemed writers in the industry, it's safe to say November is becoming an even more tantalizing prospect for readers.
