In a world inundated with post-apocalyptic premises, it can feel like end-of-the-world series are a dime a dozen. Luckily, Jordan Thomas and Shaky Kane, the team behind Image Comics’ Weird Work, are teaming up with Oni Press to produce a singular and scintillating saga of the wasteland in The Man From Maybe. Combining the trappings of classic Western stories with a fun, campy aesthetic, The Man From Maybe follows the titular gunslinger as he wanders the drylands and a nefarious billionaire named Harvard Denny. In an interview with CBR, Thomas explained how he began working with the legendary Shaky Kane, discussed some of the real-life inspirations for the story, and shared some insight about what fans can expect from the upcoming series.The first time I worked with Shaky was on a comic I put together called Quarantine, which, no surprise, was at the start of lockdown. It was a project I put together quite quickly as a bit of a bonding experience for all the small press creators who had been furloughed. It was one story, written by me, with every page [drawn] by a different artist. As the project grew, we got a few famous names involved, and Shaky was one of those names. However, because Shaky joined the project quite late in the process, all the especially cool pages had gone, so Shaky’s page didn’t really take advantage of his talents, leaving me with a feeling of a missed opportunity. This led to us deciding to collaborate on Weird Work, and from there, we had so much fun we decided to keep working together.
