Hidden Springs is a new series from Dark Horse Comics featuring the talented team of writer Rob Williams (Petrol Head, Judge Dredd), artist Nil Vendrell (Stranger Things: Tales from Hawkins, Shirtless Bear-Fighter!), colorist Berta Sastre, and letterer Simon Bowland (John Le Carre’s: The Circus–Losing Control, The Boys), and the story features a group of unlikely heroes attempting to save a baby Kaiju from military agents. While the group of celebrity stars can’t help but fall in love with the adorable Kaiju, they are also hoping to prevent the end of the world, and to do that, they have to get him to safety.
Writer Rob Williams explained just who is in this group of celebrities trying to protect our Kaiju hero, and the group sounds wild. “Hidden Springs is a fun chase thriller with a difference – the difference being that a bunch of decrepit old Hollywood actors, a Director, a rock star, a comedian and a guy who MAY have been a hitman, have to get a baby Kaiju back to its ocean home before the military lock them away for what’s left of their natural lives.”
While the series is incredibly fun thanks to its core premise, Williams also revealed there’s quite a bit of heart in the story as well. “It’s a story about finding something vital and important inside yourself, something worth fighting for, just at a point in your life when you’ve become convinced there’s nothing left. It’s filled with characters I’ve grown to love and, collaborating with Nil Vendrell and the team, it’s been a complete joy to bring to life.”
