Zombie Studios (http://www.zombie.com/) and Radical Publishing send along word that they have launched their first Sci Fi comic book, Shrapnel.
Released in early January, Zombie Studios’ first comic series, SHRAPNEL: ARISTEIA RISING, has quickly garnered rave reviews.
Produced by Zombie Studios and published by Radical Publishing, the epic solar war trilogy co-created by Mark Long and Nick Sagan, represents Zombie’s initial foray into comics, with the first of three miniseries, ARISTEIA RISING, written by M. Zachary Sherman and painted by Bagus Hutomo. The Philadelphia Daily News concludes: “If you want a book that's different, with a heroine to root for, that reads and looks like a film and that packs a whopping 48 pages in between its covers for only $1.99, SHRAPNEL: ARISTEIA RISING No. 1 is for you."
“We made our biggest commitment to release SHRAPNEL, and I’m just as excited about the series now as when Mark first showed it to me,” says Radical Publishing’s President and Publisher Barry Levine. “The overwhelming response from just the first issue is amazing. And from having read the story, I know that readers are going to want to stay with this for the long haul.”
“The reaction to the book, for me at least, was completely unexpected,” Sherman adds. “I'm very excited to see the response that it’s getting. Mark and Nick's vision of a dystopian future with a universe at war was one I saw in my head immediately, and it’s been a pleasure to contribute to that.”
