[TheBroox]

Previews has the cover for Vol. 4 #15 in the November solicits: https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/SEP200518

It is strange to see "Hi*Fi" under "Sakai" rather than "Luth".

It is probably safe to assume that the the same person would be coloring the interior.

So who or what is HI*FI?

I searched and found a few different answers on Reddit...

It's the pen name of colorist Brian Miller. I honestly don't know if it's just branding or if he's officially incorporated "Hi-Fi Colour Design," but as far as I can tell, everything credited to Hi-Fi was colored by Brian Miller.

I think it's the name of a studio. What does the credit say exactly?

"Hi-Fi"

Yah, that's the name of a Colorist studio

so the comic gets sent to the studio for colouring then? is this a new thing? what's the benefit of having colouring done this way rather than colourists?

Multiple guys working on it would be my guess. That way its in and out quickly.

Then searched a bit more, and found this on Twitter:

Hi-Fi was founded by comic book colorist Brian Miller. Hi-Fi colors comics by DC, IDW, Titan, Dark Horse, SpongeBob, Image Marvel, Disney, & more...

And finally....
