Mad Cave Studios announced the upcoming release of Dark Empty Void, a new five-issue mini-series from Zack Kaplan and Chris Shehan.
Scientists have created a stable, microscopic black hole in a secret underground compound, but when they lose control, the black hole spews out a cosmic maelstrom, strange dangerous creatures, and most surprisingly…a mysterious human teenage girl. Now, a depressed but brilliant psychologist must help her estranged husband and the other scientists solve the mystery and close the black hole before it consumes all of Earth.
“As our understanding of both quantum physics and astrophysics evolves, scientists are more intrigued than ever by black holes—I wonder how can something so indomitable and massively suck up stars, but leave nothing behind and simply disappear,” said Zack Kaplan in a press release from Mad Cave Studios. “With Dark Empty Void, we’ve taken this idea and filled it with monsters and madness, then helmed it with a powerful and complex heroine to create a thrilling, non-stop sci-fi horror adventure. To bring it to Mad Cave, where I’ve been so impressed by their meteoric rise over the past decade, I’m very excited to join them on my first foray into horror to explore the beauty and dangers of the cosmos. I’ve been absolutely in love with Chris Shehan’s art work for years, and I’m overjoyed to team up on this journey together. With Francesco on colors and Justin on letters, this is an impressively gorgeous book that will wow you with the big moments, tear you up with the character story and scare the hell out of you with the rest. This series is going to be as big as they come, and I cannot wait for you all to witness it.”
Dark Empty Void #1 arrives on September 11, 2024.
