Out of the gate

Dark Horse Comics has announced that writers Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie — who’ve penned episodes of “Stargate SG1,” “Stargate: Atlantis,” and “Stargate Universe” — will be writing a sci-fi comic called “Dark Matter.”

In the announcement, Dark Horse said the series would be about, “A derelict ship floating in space. Its troubled crew awakened from stasis with no memories of who they are or how they got onboard. Their search for answers triggering the vessel’s deadly security system, awakening a relentless android bent on their destruction. Facing threats at every turn, they will have to work together to survive a dangerous voyage charged with vengeance, redemption, betrayals, and, ultimately, hidden secrets best left unknown.”

The four issue miniseries will launch January 11, 2012, and will feature artwork by Garry Brown.
