Red 5 Comics sent us a sneak peek at the company’s debut titles that are arriving in October. Take the jump for a look at the first issues of Atomic Robo, Abyss, and Neozoic.
ABYSS #1
By Kevin Rubio, director of legendary internet film “TROOPS”.
Diamond Order Number: AUG073943
The untimely death of a beloved comic book hero can be a shocking event for long-time fans – be it Jason Todd’s Robin at the hands of the Joker, Superman’s demise facing Doomsday, or the recent assassination of Captain America.
To avoid any similar pain and outcry, Red 5 Comics has decided to kill ABYSS – the lead character of a series by the same name – before the first issue of the comic even comes out this October. Right from the first page, the oblivious billionaire son of ABYSS (Eric Hoffman) is already attempting to move on with his life.
ATOMIC ROBO #1
By Brian Clevinger, creator of webstrip phenomenon “8-Bit Theater”.
Diamond Order Number: AUG073942
The title follows the larger-than-life exploits of ATOMIC ROBO, an automatic intelligence created by famed inventor Nikola Tesla in 1923. ROBO finds himself entangled in some of the 20th century’s most important events – from the Second World War, space race and civil rights movement, to the defense of Earth against all manner of catastrophes.
NEOZOIC #1
By Paul Ens (“Star Wars: Evasive Action”)
Diamond Order Number: AUG073944
In NEOZOIC, a debut title from publisher Red 5 Comics, there’s nothing special about an 80-foot-long brachiosaurus lumbering past a group of human travelers. It’s been going on for millions of years.
However, if those same humans hear the blood-thirty roars of a T-Rex, then it’s time to call the professional super-hunters of the Predator Defense League. Armed only with swords, arrows, warrior cunning, ruthless precision and a lifetime of training, these exceptionally skilled athletes keep the citizens of the walled city of Monanti from becoming a dinosaur’s breakfast.
