SDCC 2025: PCB Productions brings the Exclusive Frost Road by Keith Arem and Christopher Shy

Posted on by

From the visionary creators behind Image Comics’ award-winning Ascend, Keith Arem and Christopher Shy return with their latest graphic novel, Frost Road.

A man wakes up in the wreckage of a car crash, his memory shattered. Nearby, the town of Frost Road is eerily silent. Buildings stand abandoned. Vehicles are frozen mid-escape. And the few survivors left are barely clinging to their sanity.

Something is happening. Something unseen. An invisible signal that warps the mind, turning people into violent husks of themselves. The only person immune is a local woman with her own dark past, and a prisoner who clearly knows more than he’s saying. Together, they have one goal – escape Frost Road.

But as they fight through the chaos, a terrifying truth emerges: Frost Road may not be the only town. The deadly waves – too low to hear, too powerful to resist – are spreading. And if they can’t stop them here, the entire world may fall silent.

Successfully funded on Kickstarter Frost Road is coming to San Diego Comic-Con 2025 with a limited release exclusive to the show. Frost Road features contributions from Yuri Lowenthal and Chelsea and James of Dead Meat.

You can get your copy at PCB Productions which you can find at booth #4039.

Monstrosity lurks around every corner in this graphic novel sequel to the critically acclaimed videogame, Dead Space.

For old and new fans, journey back into the horrific darkness of space as the mutated dead rise to feast on humanity, while the Church of Unitology plots the extinction of mankind…

Back in print for the first time since 2013, Dead Space is back to haunt and frighten. Experience the terror again as the dead mutate into horrific creatures with their sights set on the remains of a distraught human colony.

In deep space, the USG Ishimura lies dormant and drifting-but not quite dead. Believing they’ve found the haul of their lives, a group of scavengers called The Magpies begin to salvage the ship… only to discover that they’re not alone. Something is moving in the dark. And it’s coming for them.

With government agents racing to claim the Ishimura and an entire army of Necromorphs re-animating on-board, The Magpies must choose whether to fight – or die.

Dead Space: Salvage is the second instalment in a three-volume epic.

Award-Winning Graphic Novel Trilogy
SOUL STEALER: THE COLLECTOR’S EDITION
Compilation Debuts at San Diego Comic-Con

For Immediate Release: San Diego, CA—June 13, 2012—Soul Stealer, the epic graphic novel trilogy whose final volume won Aint It Cool News’ award for “Best New Graphic Novel ofCvr the Year” in 2011, is debuting for the first time as a compilation in SOUL STEALER: THE COLLECTOR’S EDITION (Blackwatch Comics, ISBN 978-1-926869-04-9, July 2012) at San Diego Comic-Con, Booth #4401.

SOUL STEALER: THE COLLECTOR’S EDITION reflects the nine-year collaboration of writer Michael Easton (THE GREEN WOMAN with Peter Straub for DC/Vertigo) and illustrator Christopher Shy (DEAD SPACE: SALVAGE for IDW and PATHFINDER for Dark Horse). This is the first time all three volumes appear in one compilation, and limited to just 1,000 copies, they are signed by both, the artist and the author.

The Soul Stealer trilogy answers the question: How far would you go to get back someone you love? This centuries-spanning saga follows fallen warrior and Frankenstein-like pieced together protagonist Kalan, living in a sci-fi/fantasy world mixing Easton’s gothic prose with Shy’s moody, esoteric, and atmospheric imagery. Overwrought with grief when Kalan loses his love Oxania in a murder by nemesis Apis Bull, he transforms into a supernatural being who returns souls from the afterlife in his quest to reunite with his beautiful, elusive lover and avenge her killer.

The large format publication is a Taschen-like 13” x 9” and 536 full-color pages of lush imagery, including 100 pages of new art, and covering the three volumes of the award-winning saga: The Beaten and the Damned, Blood and Rain, and Last to Die. The book retails for $59.99.

Easton and Shy will appear at the Blackwatch Comics release party and at San Diego Comic-Con Booth #4401 Wednesday, July 11, 2012 through Sunday, July 15th. For more information, visit BlackwatchComics.com or contact publicist Denise Dorman of WriteBrainMedia at 630.845.4694.
