 VIMANARAMA!
#1 (of 3)
Written by Grant Morrison
Art and cover by Philip Bond
Imagine a modern-day
Arabian Nights in the form of an Indian romantic comedy and set
on a celestial stage. East meets West with a burst of color, song
and cosmic violence in Grant Morrison's latest: VIMANARAMA!
From the pulse-pounding
superheroics of JLA: CLASSIFIED to the heartbreaking intensity of
WE3, Grant Morrison is committed to outdoing himself. Now, he reunites
with the inimitable Philip Bond (VERTIGO POP: LONDON, THE INVISIBLES)
in a 3-issue miniseries that’s a romantic action story with an operatic
twist.
The son of
a successful grocery chain owner, 19-year-old British-Asian Ali
can't relate to his family’s traditional customs. He feels much
better when he finds that Sofia, the girl he’s arranged to be married
to, is gorgeous and vivacious…until he accidentally unleashes a
subterranean army of fossil demons, restarts an ancient god war,
and brings the whole world to the brink of destruction. Now, the
only person who can save the day is a 15,000-year-old Indian super-man
who’s fallen in love with Sofia! A dazzling, transcendental journey
into another reality, VIMANARAMA! is Morrison’s and Bond's wildest
yet, mixing widescreen action, soap-opera realism and Eastern religion
with an end-of-the-world love story you won't forget.
