PRESS RELEASE
Vault Comics is thrilled to announce TEST, a brand new sci-fi series by Eisner Award-nominated writer Chris Sebela (Crowded, Shanghai-Red), artist Jen Hickman (Moth & Whisper, Jem and the Holograms), colorist Harry Saxon (Vagrant Queen), and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou.
TEST follows Aleph Null, An orphan, a human guinea pig undergoing medical tests for cash, a bodyhacker, a hardcore future junkie, and a corporate asset. But now, Aleph is on the run from their old life, in search of a mythical, Midwestern town named Laurelwood—where they’re test-marketing the future with tech that can’t possibly exist yet, and won’t for decades.
TEST #1 will receive a Vault Vintage variant cover that pays homage to Transmetropolitan, the immensely influential Vertigo series by Warren Ellis & Darick Robertson. The Vault Vintage variant cover is drawn and designed by Nathan Gooden and Tim Daniel.
TEST #1 hits store shelves on June 26th, 2019. The official synopsis is below:
Aleph Null is a lot of things: An orphan, a human guinea pig undergoing medical tests for cash, a bodyhacker, a hardcore future junkie, and a corporate asset. But now, Aleph is on the run from their old life, in search of a mythical, Midwestern town named Laurelwood—where they’re test-marketing the future with tech that can’t possibly exist yet, and won’t for decades.
From Eisner-nominated Chris Sebela (Crowded, High Crimes) and Jen Hickman (Moth & Whisper) comes the story of a town out of time, full of mysteries, and populated by guinea pigs in need of liberation by the misfit least likely to be their savior.
