Ming Doyle will be joining writer Brian Wood and colorist Jordie Bellaire for a miniseries, Mara, to be published by Image.  The story takes place in a “war-and-fitness obsessed future” dystopia, where a famous female athlete faces new dangers when she develops superpowers.  
Wood explains the interesting genesis of this story:

I decided to create this during the post-DC52 reaction regarding women in comics, female characters in superhero stories and their depiction within, and all that discussion that followed. In addition to just feeling like I had a powerful, relevant story to tell, I wanted to prove, if only to myself, that a story like this can be told without reducing it to or otherwise relying on these sorts of base depictions of women. Like Channel Zero, Jennie One, Supermarket, Demo, Local, The New York Four, The New York Five, DV8, and a good deal of Northlanders, MARA features a complex, realistic, multi-faceted female lead.

I’m a big fan of all involved, and I can’t wait!
