Ahead of the San Diego Comic-Con, BOOM! Studios announced Slow Burn, a new noir series by Ollie Masters and Pierluigi Minotti.
Hell is a place on Earth.
Fleeing from a botched robbery in New York City, a junkie, her dying partner, and a dementia-ridden old man pull into a mining ghost town in central Pennsylvania. Obscured by the caustic vapors spewed forth from a still burning coal-seam fire from the 1960s, Trier seems like the perfect place for the trio to lay low, maybe score a fix, and potentially take a hostage. But this ghost town might prove more lively than any of them think.
“This is a comic about a fire that’s been burning underneath a town for decades and will continue burning for centuries. It’s about desperate people with violent pasts living on the edge, looking for a way out” said Ollie Masters in a press release. “About how our parents shape who we are, for better and for worse.”
Slow Burn #1 arrives on October 25, 2023.
