Kieron Dwyer was one of the industry's biggest artists in the late 1990s and early 2000s with his work on Captain America and Avengers, but since then he largely left the industry to work in advertising -- but now he's back, and he's doing comic books on his own terms.



On Wednesday, Dwyer announced his return to comic books with a new series titled West Portal. Working with Todd Rinker, Dwyer looks to use Kickstarter to raise $30,000 in capital to fund work on the creator-owned series in advance of publication with Image Comics later in the year.



West Portal is a dimension-hopping tale of a man Dex, but these dimensions aren't ones you'd expect. The dimensions of West Portal -- known as 'spheres' -- are based on various concepts and properties of popular fiction, with a Flash Gordon-esque sphere to a Garfield sphere and even one based on the works of Peter Max. Dwyer illustrates each sphere in the style of that fiction, giving West Portal the vibe of a sequential art smorgasbord as Dex has adventures across the ideascape.




This sounds good !
