BOOM! Studios has announced The Grand Abyss Hotel, a timely original graphic novel set in a world where big business and fake news manage social order until a rebellion breaks out. Arriving in stores May 2019, writer Marcos Prior and Eisner-nominated artist David Rubín weave a politically satirical look at democracy today through the lens of hyper-violence and explosive action.

Imagine a world overrun by big business and “fake news” via the social media machine neoliberalism has become a state religion, while the citizens quietly and then not-so-quietly rebel, giving way to violence on the streets and sowing chaos. A masked vigilante takes on the role of hero to battle politicians, the erosion of democracy, and social media. After the fires burn low and the dust settles, social order returns. Or does it?

The Grand Abyss Hotel will be available for sale on May 29th, 2019 at local comic book shops and June 4th, 2019 at book stores.
