Image Comics to publish Brian K. Vaughan and Marcos Martin’s miniseries Barrier

Posted on by

Brian K. Vaughan and Marcos Martin, the Eisner Award-winning creative team behind The Private Eye, are reunited in Barrier, the five-issue miniseries originally published in digital format via Panel Syndicate and featuring color work by Muntsa Vicente. This May, all five issues will be available in print for the first time, exclusively from Image Comics.

Barrier is a truly unconventional drama that tackles violence, language, and illegal immigration—with a shocking sci-fi twist. Printed in its original “landscape” format and graced with gorgeous cardstock covers, each comic is meant to be a durable work of art.

Mature readers will be able to pick up the massive 50-plus-page first issue for free on Free Comic Book Day on May 5th. The following week, a special collector’s edition of the first issue will be released in a larger size to match the next four issues being released weekly throughout the rest of May.

Barrier #1 (Diamond code: MAR180571) and BARRIER #2 (Diamond code: MAR180573) hit comic book stores Wednesday, May 9th. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is Monday, April 16th.

Panel Syndicate Releases Barrier #5, the Final Issue!

Posted on by

Panel Syndicate has announced that Barrier #5, the final installment of the series, is now available on the digital platform. Barrier is by Brian K. Vaughan, Marcos Martin, and Muntsa Vicente.

The digital comic is an unconventional take about aliens and immigration and “about the way language can divide us, by using the (hopefully?) universal language of comics.” As with all comics on the platform it’s pay what you want. Even coming in at an impressive 48 pages of story, it’s still pay what you want as is the previous four issues.

Panel Syndicate has also announced that it will be adding even more series to their platform in addition to Private Eye, Universe!, and Blackhand Ironhead.

Vaughan also announced that starting today, 100% of whatever is earned from contributions for this or any previous issues of Barrier will go directly to Marcos, Muntsa and their family.

As of this month, Panel Syndicate has been around four whole years and what better way to celebrate than with the newest installment of their series Barrier!

In the penultimate issue things take a horrific turn, as alien abductees Oscar and Liddy press deeper into their captors’ craft.

Barrier is a digital comic series by Brian K. Vaughan, Marcos Martin, and Muntsa Vicente that explores immigration, and the “barriers” that keep us apart, like language.

Released through Panel Syndicate the comic is 30 pages of bilingual action for absolutely any price you think is fair. Yes, a pay what you want comic, and this is one well worth paying for.
