Variety broke the news during this years special Comic-Con that Red 5 Comics would be teaming with science fiction writer Quentin Lee for a new series in 2022 (https://variety.com/2021/digital/asia/mystery-brothers-quentin-lee-asian-american-comic-book-1235120136/).
Set in a near future New York City, Lee’s series follows the adventures of a pair of Chinese-American brothers fighting to protect their family from a growing robotic revolution, while also coming to question the nature of their own humanity and whether they may be robots themselves.
“When Quentin brought ‘Mystery Brothers’ to us, we immediately knew it fit with our mission to deliver stories that are fun for everyone. Mystery Brothers’ brings back feelings of nostalgia for movies of the 80’s where kids face extraordinary situations with a sci-fi twist,” Red 5’s Scott Chitwood told Variety.
Mystery Brothers will launch in Fall of 2023. In tandem with its release to comic book stores, Spores Network will release a series of Mystery Brothers NFTs.
