Warren
Ellis and Jason Howard are taking a break from their Image series Trees but have
another project on the way. They are teaming on a seven-issue limited series for
the publisher called Cemetery Beach. The story takes place over 100 years ago
and involves a ship set out to colonize a remote world. The ship has been
forgotten since then but Earth has rediscovered them and sends a professional
pathfinder called Mike Blackburn to restore contact. Complicating the situation
is the reveal that the colony seems to be filed with crazy people. That makes
Blackburn’s job much harder. Adding the fact that he has skills but no family or
responsibilities to come back to means he may have not been the right choice to
go. Once he arrives at the colony he meets dissident Grace Moody, who the
President of the colony has labeled a terrorist. Blackburn needs her to make his
way around but there are a few at the colony who wish she was dead.
It all begins with CEMETERY BEACH #1 which is currently scheduled to ship
this New Comic Wednesday-091218 with a $3.99 cover price and three standard variant
covers. As always it will be "1st Day Sale" priced at 25% OFF ($2.99!) on
the 12th and 15% OFF for the rest of its first week of release ($3.39!)-while
supplies last! |
