ELLIS & HESTER GET SHIPWRECKED
Posted: 092716

Think Tom Hanks Castaway in an "Alternate Reality"

In 2002 Warren Ellis and Phil Hester were going to team on a creator-owned series together but it fell through. The two will finally work together on a new AfterShock Comic called Shipwreck. Ellis says the series is what would happen if Cormac McCarthy and Samuel Beckett wrote a science fiction road movie. The series will tell of an unusual shipwreck that leaves a sole survivor named Dr. Jonathan Shipwright. He will find himself stranded in a distant reality hunted by the saboteur who caused the accident. According to Hester we will see Shipwright trying to piece his history back together after a catastrophic accident involving a technology he's invented. He won’t know where he is but in the first two issues we will see him drowned, burned, stabbed, swarmed by spiders and haunted by flocks of hectoring birds. The supporting cast will include Bank, a bar owner and undertaker given to a thoroughly grotesque brand of mortuary science and Val, a beautiful, enigmatic ritual executioner who seems to know more about his past than he does.
