51 #1 Sells Out and Get a New Printing
The President’s infamous screw-up son cracks open the vault at Area 51, and now, another secret is spilling out… Mad Cave Studios has announced today that 51 #1, the new sci-fi satire from writer Curt Pires, has sold out at the distributor level following its debut release.
Featuring art, colors, and a fresh new cover by Jok, with lettering by three-time Ringo Award nominee Micah Myers, 51 blends high-octane action with sharp political satire to imagine a world where every conspiracy theory might actually be true—ripping into conspiracy culture, political rot, and the dangerous people left holding the country’s secrets together with scotch tape as the series heads back to print ahead of issue #2.
What if all the secrets housed in AREA 51 leaked out into the world? Who would be responsible for that mess? And who would be responsible for cleaning it up? After the President’s screw-up son, Harvey, gets in trouble with the law, his dad calls in a favor and gets him assigned to the real-life Area 51—Hangar 51. But it’s not the thrill ride the conspiracy theorists would have you believe. Harvey spends most of his days cataloging items he’s forbidden from even looking at.
That all changes when Harvey and his coworkers decide to throw a rager and wake up from their bender to find that every single item from Hangar 51 has been stolen. Now in the deepest trouble of his life, Harvey and his ragtag crew must go out into the world and put the genie back in the bottle—capturing rogue aliens, stolen superpower formulas, experimental energy weapons, and all manner of impossible objects. And as they hunt each piece down, a darker truth begins to surface: who actually broke into Hangar 51… and what do they plan to do with what they took? Writer Curt Pires and artist Jok take you on a trip like you’ve never been to explore a conspiracy theory you won’t ever believe!
