Vanishing Point TP
Writer: Mark Russell
Artist: Ryan Alexander-Tanner, Juan Doe, Alberto Ponticelli
Publisher: Mad Cave Studios
The brainchild of critically-acclaimed writer Mark Russell, Vanishing Point is an anthology of short stories that are part science fiction and part existential horror. These are stories with a twist in which the twist is not the point of the story, but a beginning point from which to ask what it means to be alive. Russell is joined by artists Ryan Alexander-Tanner, Juan Doe and Alberto Ponticelli on six terrifying tales that will leave readers mystified.
Mark Russell once again delivers an impactful story that makes me reflect and leaves me better for it. The Captain’s unwavering determination to ensure his family’s well-being, regardless of the stakes, forms the heart of this tale. Taking raw emotion and mixing it with a bit of sci-fi horror, this premiere installment of the Vanishing Point anthology series is nothing short of phenomenal. – CLICK HERE to read the entire review of the first issue
