“The fact is that the Furies are kept down by the circumstances of where they live and who is in power,” series writer Cecil Castellucci told Polygon . “How do women in that kind of world have an awakening, and ultimately a reckoning, with their lot? And how do they come into their own true power and become a team to make a change for better or worse? What does it mean to have someone’s back after years of stabbing people in the back?”

The launch of Female Furies follows this week’s conclusion of the critically acclaimed Mister Miracle series, and comes ahead of Ava DuVernay’s New Gods movie, currently in development at Warner Bros. (New Gods is another of Kirby’s “Fourth World” series, and often used as a catchall title for the entire Fourth World mythology.)

Castellucci, whose previous comics work includes Shade the Changing Girl and Soupy Leaves Home, will work with Plastic Man artist Adriana Melo on the series; Mister Miracle’s Eisner Award-winning artist Mitch Gerads will provide covers. Female Furies will launch in February 2019.
