At one point in his career, Nathan Fillion may have only been known for his role as Richard Castle, but he’s branched out with so many projects that it’s tough to identify what he’s most famous for. Firefly, the 2002 space sci-fi series that’s being rebooted through animation, is certainly up there, as is The Rookie, the long-running ABC procedural where he recurs as John Nolan. Fillion has also teamed up with James Gunn in both Marvel and DC films, and he’s set to return in HBO’s Lanterns, which will be released this summer.
Today, Collider is thrilled to partner with Dark Horse Comics to exclusively preview a new cover from Fillion’s new comic series, Witness Point, which will arrive in shops everywhere this July. Co-written with author Heath Corson and illustrated by Soo Lee, the comic is set against the backdrop of a friendly town in Baraboo, Wisconsin, a mostly quiet little hangout until the discovery of a dismembered body reveals it’s actually the dumping ground for the Witness Protection Program. This forces the long-suffering local sheriff, Carter Calhoon, and his contentious deputy, Priya Khabrani, to team up and solve the murder before the town’s beloved Harvest Festival. We’re also happy to exclusively reveal Fillion’s thoughts on the project. He said:
“Heath pulled me into this world with Witness Point, and I immediately knew this was a story that would lend itself to a comic series. I’m excited to be collaborating with the incredibly talented and celebrated artist, Soo Lee, whose recent work on ThunderCats: Cheetara, The Wizard of Oz, and Disney Villains: Maleficent, is nothing short of extraordinary. Working with Soo, alongside my partners at Collision33 — Michelle Chapman and Josh Levy — and the team at Dark Horse Entertainment to bring this engaging story to life has been a thrill. I love this project and can’t wait for readers to experience it.”
Heath Corso also said this of the project, “Nathan is an intuitive storyteller who imbues every medium he works in with his quick wit, iconic character, and bottomless humanity. I feel like we’ve managed to siphon a decent amount of it into Witness Point.” Illustrator Soo Lee also added, “Witness Point isn’t your typical crime story that you think it is, so I wanted it to reflect that in the art as well. The setting is unusual with unusual suspects and characters, in all senses of the world, so I wanted the colors and visuals to match that.”
Nathan Fillion Makes His Long-Awaited DCU Return This Summer
Fillion will return to his new signature role of Guy Gardner, aka Green Lantern, this summer in the new HBO series, Lanterns. Led by Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre, who star as Hal Jordan and John Stewart, Lanterns is the DCU’s take on True Detective, centering around two space heroes solving a mystery on Earth. The series has been confirmed to release this August, but it’s still lacking an official launch date.
Check out the new covers for Witness Point above and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Fillion’s future projects.
