Nicolas Cage releasing new comics line with his son

Actor Nicolas Cage is releasing a new line of comic books with his teenage son, Weston Cage.

The six-issue illustrated series 'Voodoo Child' will be released on July 11 through Virgin Comics.

Cage revealed that when he was approached with the idea of launching his own animated series books, he decided to take his 16-year-old son on board too.

"I said I didn't have any ideas, but I told them my son might. He has been drawing comics since he was three. He was a natural to do it," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

'Voodoo Child' is set in the post Hurricane Katrina period in New Orleans, Lousiana. It revolves around a detective who investigates the disappearance of several young girls.

The title character of the comic is Gabriel Moore, a child murdered by secessionist soldiers in the 19th century, who is resurrected by a voodoo priest.
