The Prism #2 continues an interesting concept but it drags things out

Posted on by

Meet the members of The PRISM, the rock band assembled to save the world, each with their own histories, egos, and artistic visions. How will they merge? How will they clash? These are the questions Lorena must answer now that she heads the project, cut loose by her mentor and facing down studio heads and financial backers. Even before they embark on their tour of the solar system, there’s trouble to rein in.

The Prism #1 is an interesting concept with good art but feels like a teaser issue

Posted on by

Noise pollution is crushing life on earth. The largest mega-corporation on the planet finances a crazy project called The P.R.I.S.M. (Purifying Recording Interplanetary Space Mission) to combat the phenomenon: sending a musical supergroup into space to record an album that will produce sounds able to push back the threat known as S.O.T.W. (Smoke on the Water) and save the planet. Where rock’n’roll excess and the survival of all life on Earth collide, there is…THE PRISM!

Kickstarter Spotlight: Hugo Broyler: a fast-paced future-noir thriller

Hugo Broyler: a fast-paced future-noir thriller on Kickstarter, featuring a murderer’s row of top comic industry artists from around the world.

Nearly two dozen comic industry super-stars have joined writer Mike Kennedy (Star Wars: Underworld, Superman: Infinite City, Lone Wolf 2100, Dead to Rights, Bleedout) and illustrator Francisco Paronzini (Stormwatch PHD, The Immortal Iron Fist, Dead to Rights, Star Wars Tales) in the launch of a Kickstarter campaign for the original graphic novel Hugo Broyler, a fast-paced future-noir thriller, where smart cars roam the streets and hacking is indistinguishable from possession and insanity.

This stylish, full-color blockbuster is packed full of high-speed action and psychological intrigue, and is brought to life by a killer lineup of top comic industry artists contributing pieces from around the world, including cover art by Eduardo Risso (100 Bullets), and pieces fan-favorites such as Bengal (Batgirl, Naja), Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night, Wormwood, Squidder), Zach Howard (Wild Blue Yonder, The Cape), DJet (Poet Anderson), Matteo De Longis (VOX), Francisco Ruiz Velasco (Pacific Rim, Hellboy), Nathan Fox (DMZ, Haunt, Blue Estate), Ben Caldwell (Prez, Dare Detectives), Rafael Albuquerque (American Vampire, Blue Beetle), Leandro Fernandez (Punisher, Hulk, The Names), Marcelo Frusin (Hellblazer, Loveless), German Peralta (Moon Knight, Axis: Carnage), Max Fiumara (BPRD, Abe Sapien), and Renato Guedes (Wolverine, Superman), Caio Oliveira (Super-Ego, No More Heroes), Daniel Warren Johnson (Ghost Fleet, Space Mullet), and Brydon Everett (The World of Cassyno).

Billed as a high-speed, sci-fi, grindhouse graphic novel, this breakneck thriller paints a future world where frictionless autos careen a ludicrous speeds in the popular sport of Static Velocity Levitation Racing, and international mega-corporations sponsor fearless racing teams who risk life and limb for fame and fortune. When former champ Hugo Broyler wipes out in the final lap of the latest championship, he’s left with little choice but to take wheel work for cash from a local crimelord. But the crash left him with more than just a few scars and a bad attitude – now he’s hearing voices, specifically the ghost of his former, deceased rival. Or maybe someone’s hacking his brain. Or maybe he’s just crazy…

Kennedy and Paronzini seek to raise funds to colorize, re-letter, and print the completed graphic novel, which will be supplemented with an additional 20 pages of world-building story material illustrated by the collection of guest contributors. This extra content will further flesh out the intricate world of cyber-crime, psychological manipulation, and levitation racing revealed in the main storyline.

The campaign offers copies of the book itself in soft- or hard-cover, original artwork, in-world artifacts and merchandise, as well as a mix of 70s/80s style paraphernalia that evokes a retro grindhouse flavor, with a future-sci-fi twist. This is just the first glimpse into the world of Hugo Broyler, says Kennedy, with future chapters, tabletop games, and interactive plans in the works.

Magnetic Press Announces VOX by Matteo De Longis!

Posted on by

VOX is an original graphic concept artbook!

A resonance between music and images, the power of rock and electric colors, VOX is a rockbook, the place where the graphic universe of Matteo De Longis explodes!

The richness of the author’s creative universe can be read through the diversity in the explored themes: musical instruments, intense and sensual women, planes, birds, cars…this graphic variety doesn’t fail to stimulate and intrigue. Presented in an electric yellow transparent packaging the size of a 33rpm record sleeve, this artbook is both lavish and singular.

Born in Bergamo, Italy in 1979, De Longis drew inspiration from Japanese artists such as Terada, Murata, Okama, and Morimoto before contributing to Sky Doll Spaceship Collection and designing the popular vinyl toy character Mekaneko, both for the artpop label Venusdea, created and curated by renowned artist Barbara Canepa. He was named among Marvel comics ‘Young Guns’ as an up-and-coming talent to watch, providing covers for various Avengers titles. His focus remains broad, with concentrations on drawing, game design, animation, and art toys.

The 88-page softcover book will be 12” x 12” – the size of an actual vinyl record album – and encased in an electric yellow transparent plastic slipcase. It will be released in November wherever artbooks and graphic novels are sold from Magnetic Press.
