AWA Studios has announced Sins of the Salton Sea, a five-issue series debuting on June 7, 2023. From the all-star creative team of writer Ed Brisson, artist C.P. Smith, and lettered by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, this new series serves up a high octane crime thriller with a supernatural twist that asks the weighty question: Is the life of one child worth risking the fate of the world?

Sins of the Salton Sea follows Wyatt, a professional thief living off the grid in the aftermath of a horrible tragedy, who is recruited by his brother to pull off one last job. Their target: an armored car traveling down a desolate stretch of California highway. But when it turns out that the armored car is carrying not gold bars but human cargo, Wyatt is plunged into the middle of a conflict between warring factions of a doomsday cult.  The Sons of the Salton Sea claim that it is their solemn duty to save the world by means of human sacrifice. Wyatt must decide if he will protect the boy who has come into his charge or be swayed by the cult’s convincing claims that the end of the world is fast approaching.

Sins of the Salton Sea #1 arrives June 7^th wherever comic books are sold.
