Sobre THE ADVENTURES OF LUMEN N.

Corre el año 1901 y nuestra heroína, Lumen, es una precoz adolescente de 13 años con muchas preguntas sobre su vida. ¿Por qué su padre lleva años desaparecido? ¿Por qué debe aprender tantos idiomas y técnicas de lucha? ¿Y qué pasa con todas esas lecciones de navegación? Entonces, un ataque a su hogar por parte de una horda de asesinos steampunk ofrece el primer atisbo de una respuesta: el salvador de Lumen se revela como su abuelo, el legendario Capitán Nemo, uno de los personajes más destacados de la literatura de ciencia ficción victoriana. Un nuevo mundo de aventuras y emociones steampunk está a punto de abrirse para Lumen al conectar con el abuelo que nunca conoció, mientras juntos se enfrentan a una camarilla de mentes maestras del mal, decididos a dominar el mundo.

"Estoy encantada de unir fuerzas con Phil, Marc y Bill para dar vida a Las aventuras de Lumen N.", dijo Robinson. "Es una idea que tenía desde hace mucho tiempo, y agradezco el talento de estos maravillosos creadores por ayudarme a darle vida. La historia de Lumen es una montaña rusa de emoción steampunk a medida que evoluciona de una jovencita algo insegura a una aventurera impulsiva, y sé que disfrutarán del viaje." Hester añadió: «Llevo queriendo trabajar con James desde hace casi una vida, especialmente en un cómic como Lumen N. Desde mi época en Batman: La Serie Animada, no había contribuido a un proyecto que, si bien es claramente apto para todas las edades, esté lo suficientemente bien hecho como para atraer incluso al público más sofisticado. James, Marc, Bill y Jim están en la cima de su talento, trayendo al mercado un cómic sin igual. Divertido, aterrador, inteligente, ligero, emocionante, histórico e ingenioso, cada página te sumerge en un género y una atmósfera diferentes. Lumen N es un cómic para compartir, y espero que nos permitan compartirlo con ustedes».

Y Deering añadió: «Tengo muchísima suerte de formar equipo con tres de los mejores cómicos, James, Phil y Bill, en un cómic tan impresionante. Me lo he pasado genial trabajando en Lumen N. ¡Tengo muchas ganas de hacer más!». 

THE ADVENTURES OF LUMEN N.#1 (de 4) se lanza en tiendas el 3 de septiembre de 2025. Ya está disponible para reservar en tu tienda de cómics local por $4.99.

NOTA DE PRENSA OFICIAL ORIGINAL

JAMES ROBINSON AND PHIL HESTER BRING A WORLD FULL OF VICTORIAN HEROES AND VILLAINS TO LIFE IN “THE ADVENTURES OF LUMEN N.” The new steampunk adventure series arrives in September 2025 MILWAUKIE, Ore., (May 20, 2025)— Dark Horse Comics presents The Adventures of Lumen N., a new steampunk adventure set at the turn of the 20th century written by James Robinson (Starman, Los Monstruos), penciled by Phil Hester (G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, The Wretch), inked by Marc Deering (Black Panther, Hunt.Kill.Repeat) colored by Bill Crabtree, and lettered by Jim Campbell. Issue #1 will be available in September 2025 and will feature main cover art by Hester and variant covers by Mark Buckingham, Duncan Fegredo, Max Fiumara, and Dan Brereton.   About The Adventures of Lumen N.: The year is 1901 and our heroine Lumen is a precocious 13-year-old with many questions about her life. Why has her father been gone for years? Why must she learn so many languages and fighting techniques and what’s with all the lessons in seafaring? Then an attack on her home by a horde of steampunk assassins delivers the first glimmer of an answer, when Lumen’s savior reveals himself as her grandfather, the legendary Captain Nemo, one of the greatest characters in Victorian science-fiction literature. A brand-new world of steampunk adventure and thrills is about to open up for Lumen as she connects with the grandfather she never knew while together they take on a cabal of evil masterminds, intent on world domination.   "I am utterly thrilled to join forces with Phil, Marc and Bill in bringing The Adventures of Lumen N. to life,” said Robinson. “It's an idea I've had for a long time, and I'm grateful for the talents of these wonderful creators in helping me bring her to life. Lumen's story is a rollercoaster of steam-punk excitement as she evolves from a young, slightly unsure girl into a two-fisted adventuress, and I know you'll enjoy the ride."   Hester added, “I've been wanting to work with James for what seems like a lifetime, especially on a book like Lumen N. Not since my time working on Batman: The Animated Series have I contributed to a project that, while clearly all-ages, is well-made enough to appeal to even the most sophisticated audience. James, Marc, Bill & Jim are all at the top of their games, brining a book unlike any other to the market. Fun, scary, smart, light, thrilling, historical, and witty, each page turn plunges you into a different genre and mood. Lumen N is a book meant to be shared, and I hope you will let us share it with you.”   And Deering said, “I am incredibly lucky to be teamed with 3 of comics greatest, James, Phil and Bill, on such an awesome book. I've been having the time of my life working on Lumen N. I can't wait to do more.”   The Adventures of Lumen N. #1 (of 4) releases in stores on September 3, 2025. It is now available to pre-order from your local comic shop for $4.99.   Praise for Robinson and Hester:   “For all fans of old-school pulp adventure, this is the book for you!”—Eric Powell (The Goon)   “The Adventures of Lumen N is exactly what the title says… bold adventure that shines. James Robinson and Phil Hester with Marc Deering offer up a world and story filled with compelling characters and strange machines. It propels you along at a breathless pace like the best adventure comics should. Bill Crabtree’s colors are a perfect match to the art and Jim Campbell’s diverse, cherry-on-top lettering enhances. It all engages beautifully.”—J H Williams III (Echolands, Promethea, Batwoman)   “James Robinson and Phil Hester are established masters of their crafts, and LUMEN is a perfect vehicle for their talents. James’ genre influences have always run deep, and here he returns some of the original pulp excitement to comics, using an array of classic literary adventure characters, revolving around an inventive new take on Captain Nemo. The fun of seeing Robinson and Hester construct this new universe from the ashes of an older one is only elevated by the title heroine. Anyone familiar with Robinson’s much missed LEAVE IT TO CHANCE will remember his affinity for sharing the adventures of a bold young heroine, and will surely fall in love with Lumen and the fascinating world she inhabits. Another reminder from Robinson that comics can be fun and smart!”—B. Clay Moore (Hawaiian Dick)
