Jamie Lee Curtis’ upcoming Mother Nature comic from Titan Comics is showing off its first look. The Oscar-nominated actress has teamed up with filmmaker Russell Goldman to write the eco-horror novel. Meanwhile artist Karl Stevens is illustrating the graphic novel that is adapted from an upcoming horror movie of the same name.
First Look at Jamie Lee Curtis’ Comic
Jamie Lee Curtis’ foray into the world of comics is all about the environment. According to Titan Comics, it follows Nova Terrell, a girl who witnessed her father’s mysterious death on one of the oil extraction projects from the Cobalt Corporation. While the corporation appears benign from the outside, Nova has a deep hatred and mistrust for the company that took her father away. She kicks off a campaign to sabotage the oil giant which leads her to a shocking discovery about the true nature of the corporation’s Mother Nature project.
This first look, courtesy of comicbook.com, shows off Stevens wonderful art. The cover art shows off Nova harnessing some form of power as lightning destroys the oil rigs behind her. The preview panels give us a look at the death of Nova’s father that kicks off her path of revenge. It also hints at some of the supernatural mysteries that lurk beneath the surface of the Cobalt Corporation. Looks like Jamie Lee Curtis is drawing some inspiration from her horror roots for this one.
From Comic to Movie
Mother Nature is an adaptation of a feature film of the same name from Comet Pictures and Blumhouse Productions. While Jamie Lee Curtis co-wrote the graphic novel, she will take on the role of director for the film project. In speaking about the project, the actress shared that she “first thought about this story when [she] was 19 years old”. She has always been aware of the unbalanced relationship that exists between humans and nature and felt that in the end, nature will always win.
As for the comic, she calls this some of the “best work” of her career. Plus, working with Karl Stevens and Titan Comics has been an exciting bonus to telling this story.
Mother Nature is out in hardcover this July.
