First things first! I write about dystopian futures, but it would seem we are living in our own unnerving times with the emergence of the Coronavirus. Please, everyone take care and stay safe.
Hopefully, everyone will still be able to enjoy the joy of reading comics and escaping into some entertainment for just a moment.
And with that, get ready for JOIN THE FUTURE #2.
So wow! JOIN THE FUTURE was a phenomenal hit and huge success for Aftershock Comics, one of the biggest in years, and the entire creative team, and we are all so dog gone thankful!
JOIN THE FUTURE #2 SUMMARY
The Future. Where ultramodern megacities flourish while rural American towns struggle to survive. After an attack by high tech mercenaries, the small community of Franklin vacates its township and starts moving its people to the city. This sends the Mayor's strong-willed teenage daughter, Clementine Libbey, on a quest of revenge and resistance as she challenges the city's control, while clinging to her small town principles. Come join her adventure in this sci-fi western. Come join the future.
Published by Aftershock Comics, created by yours truly, Zack Kaplan (Eclipse, Port of Earth, Lost City Explorers), artist Piotr Kowalski (Bloodbourne, Dark Souls, Wellington), colorist Brad Simpson (Bloodbourne, Coffin Bound, Crone) and prolific Eisner-winning journalist and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, coming this March 2020.
WHAT'S THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE?
The Future. Ultra-modern megacities reward millions of their citizens with a completely funded life, with nearly every need met, from housing to healthcare, in order to compete in an economic war amongst cities in which population is key. But when one of these cities pressures the self-reliant residents of one of the last small towns in America to join up or else, the deadly conflict forces the Mayor's strong-willed daughter, Clementine Libbey, a regular Katniss Everdeen from Hunger Games meets Mattie Ross from True Grit, on a principled quest for revenge and resistance.
