THE MASSIVE "North Sea 1995"

THE MASSIVE “North Sea 1995”

The first of the three MASSIVE short stories hits stands today, within the pages of Dark Horse Presents #8. Some basic info:

.Dark Horse Presents #8-10 will each have a MASSIVE story, 8 pages in length, giving you background on the three main characters, as well as a bunch of world-building.

.These stories are not necessary to have read in order to pick up the main series (in June), but they will add to the overall experience.

.These three stories will be republished at some point, in some form. But not as a “zero issue” or anything like that.

.The story that’s out today, “North Sea 1995”, is about the series’ main character Callum Israel, as he was back then, a corporate soldier hired to dispatch some environmentalists occupying a rig. Then came the Draupner wave. Or one just like it. Or maybe several just like it.

.Kristian Donaldson is crazy talented. As is Dave Stewart, as is Jared K Fletcher, and my editors. A lot of times in comics, even at the big companies, editors do very little editing. Sierra Hahn, my editor on The Massive, is brutally kicking my ass with every script I turn in, challenging the way I write, the tics I have, and the crutches I lean on. She makes me defend my choices, and its making for better comics.

.The next story takes place in Sri Lanka in the 1980’s.

.The one after that in modern day Southern Ocean. But also all around the globe for the last 300 years.

.I’m all in on this series. Look for a dedicated website, a wealth of free bonus material, maybe some merch, and the best comic I’m capable of writing right now.
