Chuck Austen’s final comic DEFIANT from DSTLRY

The legendary Chuck Austen‘s final story will be Defiant from DSTLRY, with the writer’s 40-plus-year career coming to a close with the conclusion of the series. Austen, best known for his work on X-Men, The Avengers, and U.S. War Machine, is teaming up with Patrick Olliffe (JSA: Classified) to tell a sci-fi tale about a retired veteran from a cosmic war who goes back to space to figure out the truth behind the death of his son — and in the process discovers a much bigger mystery at play.

The Beat has an exclusive look at Defiant #1. Check out the preview below.

NEW DSTLRY SCIENCE-FICTION DEBUT FROM CHUCK AUSTEN (Edgeworld, X-Men, Superman) and prolific Marvel and DC artist PATRICK OLLIFFE!

On his final mission, Sandusky returns to the stars to reclaim his son Devon’s body and uncover the truth surrounding his death. Light years from home, among a cascade of twisted metal, Sandusky finds Devon – his body entombed in the remains of his ship, The Defiant-lost in a massive battle that sparked an intergalactic war. But nothing is what it seems, as Sandusky digs deeper, he and his allies are drawn into a galaxy-spanning mystery, one that holds secrets far darker and more complex than anticipated.

Every issue from DSTLRY is presented in our perfect bound Prestige format, featuring wraparound covers with spot gloss on robust cover stock, complemented by 48 pages of exquisite interior stock. It’s the DSTLRY difference.
