PORTLAND, OR, 01/07/2019 — Dennis Culver (E is for Extinction, Black Panther: The Illustrated History of a King) and Geoffo (layout artist for Ironheart and Marvel Rising) take a swing at the little green men this February with a trade paperback collection of their high school action-dramedy BURNOUTS.
To save their friends and families, a group of teenagers must fight off an attack on their town by a secret alien invasion...but they can only see the aliens when they’re high. The Burnouts are saving the world one puff at a time!

BURNOUTS will also be available for purchase across many digital platforms, including the official Image Comics iOS app, Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, comiXology, and Google Play.
