It's time for more news from BOOM! Studios as we continue our journey on the #RoadToSanDiego! Writer of series, Midnighter, Virgil, and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Steve Orlando has announced his only original series entitled Namesake. It's a four issue limited series, written by Orlando, with art by Jakub Rebelka.

The story follows…

"Jordan Molossus, a young man with an unusual mission: He is tasked with delivering the remains of his deceased fathers—contained within two enormous urns—to their final resting place, which happens to be a place called Ektae, a world that interconnects with Earth for seven days every seven years. This fantasy epic is as much about Jordan's commitment to his family—no matter how weird or nonsensical his obligation may be—as it is about his journey, which is littered with twists and turns galore."

Sounds like an jaw-dropping intense adventure if you ask me. I can't wait to grab a copy. Namesake debuts in October, but first you can see the cover to issue one and some character designs below.
