It’s a race from death in Phantom of the Scan

Posted on by

Twenty years ago, a comet fell to earth. Since that night, Matthew has been haunted – haunted by a spirit that gives him incredible psychic abilities. But these abilities come with a price…and payment is due. 

Every time Matthew uses his gifts, he draws closer to death, and other psychics – all of whom gained their powers on the night the comet fell – are dying in the most horrible of ways. To save himself, Matthew gathers a group of psychics to solve the mystery of their powers before it’s too late.

Phantom of the Scan #1 debuts from Aftershock on April 14 from writer Cullen Bunn, artist and colorist Mark Torres, letterer Dave Sharpe, with a main cover by Mark Torres and an incentive cover by Juan Doe.
