Spanish filmmaker Jesús Orellana came to a lot of people’s attention in 2011 with his short, Rosa — a story about a cyborg woken from sleep with the mission to restore the fractured ecology of the world, which captured audiences and made them eager to see more. Now, Orelllana is coming to comics, courtesy of a new five-issue sci-fi series from Image Comics titled Juvenile.
Here’s how Image described the series: “In a future where a deadly virus kills everyone upon reaching adulthood, teenagers are confined to massive medical facilities—until a mysterious new patient arrives and reveals a shocking secret! Sara is locked up in El Castillo, a fortress for troubled youth ruled with an iron fist by a retired military officer. Everything changes with the arrival of a mysterious new patient who reveals a shocking secret: the virus isn't killing them; it is giving them telekinetic abilities that the adults are desperately trying to suppress with medication and experimental surgeries. In a race against time, they decide to use their newfound powers to escape. But when the adults find out, they will discover that not only are their lives at stake, but also the fate of the human race. Visionary filmmaker Jesús Orellana (Rosa) storms into comics with a cinematic five-issue miniseries that seamlessly bridges the gap between film and comics!”
