News from the Fallout
by Chris Condon
Interrupting your regularly scheduled broadcast to deliver a terrifying sci-fi story that takes place in Nevada in 1962 after a nuclear bomb test goes horribly awry. In 1962 Nevada's Atomic Alley, a nuclear bomb test goes horribly awry at the secretive Gaines Army Base and unleashes a contaminate into the atmosphere that turns people rotten. Otis Fallows, a private in the U.S. Army who is present for the test and is the only known survivor, flees the secret army base in search of a safe haven--but does such a place exist? Written by Chris Condon, (THAT TEXAS BLOOD, Ultimate Wolverine), and drawn by the visionary artist Jeffrey Alan Love (The Last Battle at the End of the World, The Thousand Demon Tree), fans of 60s sci-fi films and TV shows like The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits and the works of authors Stephen King and Richard Matheson will love this eery graphic novel. Collects all 6 issues. Select early praise for News from the Fallout: A comic that's equal parts sci-fi mystery and nuclear fueled nightmare, searing itself into the reader's brain via its disturbing imagery and compelling story. --AIPT A truly powerful introduction to the series...simply a must-read horror comic. --Capes & Tights A wildly stylish comic book that revels in being over-the-top both with its characters and its visuals. --Major Spoilers A hell of a debut that is one horror fans won't want to miss. It's far more than a simple nuclear-bomb-creates-monsters story. --Graphic Policy A truly distinctive experience. Horror fans owe it to themselves to pick up News from the Fallout. --Comic Watch Builds tremendous suspense. --Nerd Initiative If you're tired of formulaic horror, pick up this up today. This bold, unnerving, absolutely unforgettable new twist on a beloved horror coupled with a visual storytelling masterpiece, wont disappoint. --ComicsOnline Individually the creators are dynamite. Together, they are like an atomic bomb. Literally. --Comicon A bleak and visceral read that is heavily reliant on visual storytelling in the best possible way. It's a comic that will grip you from page one and never let you go. --Get Your Comic On Equally gripping and atmospheric. --GonkBonk Transports the reader into the era of '60s horror, feeling quintessential of genre stories from the period. --Comics Bulletin One of the coolest-looking comic books in recent memory. --Monkeys Fighting Robots A deliciously grim start... What makes this one special, though, is its overall design... Dialogue that deceives and gloomy character designs converge for an experience that finds a lot of despair mixed in with the intrigue surrounding the bomb test. And like most disasters, it's impossible not to look at. --Comics Beat One of the scariest books of the year. --Gatecrashers

Was That Normal?
by Alex Potts
It was like he'd missed the main part of the story and arrived between the big climax and the end credits. A new order had established itself and everyone, apart from him, was living happily ever after. Nothing interesting could possibly happen between now and the ending. Philip is searching. For meaning. For connection. For someone to share a moment with. By day, he works from a rented room. By night, he drifts through caf s and bars, dodging awkward chats with his landlady and hoping for something more. When he meets Gina, a local musician, things begin to shift. But relationships are messy, and Philip's discomfort grows as he stumbles through miscommunications, emotional misfires, and the looming presence of Gina's intense ex. Add in a crumbling tower, gong baths (whatever they are), and the quiet ache of modern life, and you have a story that's tender, funny, and deeply human. A beautifully observed graphic novel about connection, confusion, and the spaces in between.
