After much fan anticipation (and massive delays), Image Comics has announced that Nate Simpson‘s Nonplayer will return with the highly anticipated issue #2 on June 3, 2015. In order to meet customer demand, Nonplayer #1 will return for a third printing and be available on April 1.

Nonplayer is set in the future—and the future is dismal. That goes double for Dana Stevens—she’s stuck in a dead-end tamale delivery job, and she’s way too old to be living with her mom. But Dana escapes to the online fantasy world of Jarvath, where she’s an elite warrior. When she slays the wife of celebrity game character King Heremoth, her victory seems all but guaranteed—that is, until the game spins wildly out of control.

Issue #2 sees a wounded King Heremoth plotting revenge against Dana, while a police standoff at a Los Angeles fish market reveals a homicidal robot armed only with seafood. Simpson outdoes his beautiful and multi-layered debut with an even more ambitious feat of world-building!

Nonplayer is a lush and vivid story that explores what happens when one girl loses herself in an escapist hobby that turns out to be much more than just a game.
