Scott Snyder's Best Jackett Press has announced the writer is collaborating with artist Ariela Kristantina for the next addition to the writer's Best Jackett Press creator-owned imprint: Chain, an end-of-the-world mystery series. Snyder and Tony S. Daniel are working on Best Jackett Press' first series, Nocterra, while offering Kickstarter exclusives to backers.

"Best Jackett Press is all about making the most exciting comics we can and I'm thrilled to pair with rising-star Ariela Kristantina for Chain, an upcoming book that's different than anything I've tried," Snyder told IGN. "It's a whodunit at the end of the world. I've teased projects lined up with other artists as well -- all of which are in production -- but this is one that's benefiting directly from your incredible support on our Nocterra Kickstarter campaign. I feel lucky and grateful to be working with Ariela, and I encourage all of you to go seek out her work and follow her on social media -- she's fantastic! So thank you again -- we can't wait for you to see all that we have coming…"

"The best teaser images are the ones that speak to the story's themes, without revealing anything at all about the plot," Kristantina said. "Especially since Chain is a ways off, we wanted to create a teaser image that gets fans asking questions. Why are there handprints at the bottom of the image? What's happened to the animal world? And why does it look like everything alive wants to kill us?"

Details on Chain remain slim at the moment, and it is unknown if it will publish through Image Comics and Kickstarter like Nocterra, or through other methods.

"CHAIN is a dark, locked room murder mystery that takes place in the arctic while the world is ending and I can't wait for you to see what @ARIELAkris is doing with it," Snyder added on Twitter. "We thought it'd be fun to announce now as your incredible support on Nocterra has helped its creation a lot."
