Dark Pyramid #1
Writer: Paul Tobin
Artist: P.J. Holden
Publisher: Mad Cave Studios
Hooky Hidalgo, adventurist and popular live streamer, has gone missing while climbing Mt. Denali in Alaska! When his girlfriend, Becca, arrives at the base of the mountain to retrace his steps, she soon discovers something beyond the dreamy and impressive landscape. There’s a conspiracy deep within the heart of Denali itself — a dark pyramid, silent, waiting. Becca — and the scores of Hooky fans determined to either find him or find some fun — will face death, avalanches… and monsters to find the truth.
Defiant #1
Writer: Chuck Austen
Artist: Pat Olliffe
Publisher: DSTLRY
On his final mission, Sandusky returns to the stars to reclaim his son Devon’s body and uncover the truth surrounding his death. Light years from home, among a cascade of twisted metal, Sandusky finds Devon – his body entombed in the remains of his ship, The Defiant-lost in a massive battle that sparked an intergalactic war. But nothing is what it seems, as Sandusky digs deeper, he and his allies are drawn into a galaxy-spanning mystery, one that holds secrets far darker and more complex than anticipated.
Assorted Crisis Events #1
Writer: Deniz Camp
Artist: Eric Zawadzki
Publisher: Image Comics
Time is having a crisis. Mingling in the red-light district, you can find actual cavemen, medieval knights, and cyborg soldiers on leave from World War IV. Victorian debutantes amble their way into cell phone stores, confused and bewildered (what is a data plan?). On their way to work, bleary-eyed commuters get trapped in time-loops, assaulted by alternate-reality versions of themselves, and try to avoid post-apocalyptic wastelands. And LOOK: the 3:15 bus just took a wrong turn… into the neolithic era.
Rising stars Deniz Camp and Eric Zawadzki and Eisner-winners Jordie Bellaire and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou are proud to present Assorted Crisis Events, an ongoing, zig-zagging anthology series about the compromised clicks of our clocks-full of one-shot stories both beautiful and ugly, tragic and redemptive, surreal and somehow all too familiar.
