Preview: EMPTY ZONE #1 by Jason Shawn Alexander

Bestselling artist Jason Shawn Alexander (Abe Sapien: The Drowning, The Escapists) returns to the drawing and writing table with an all-new series sure to disturb readers in EMPTY ZONE: Conversations with the Dead, which will launch from Image Comics on June 17.

In this sci-fi horror saga, Corinne White attempts to reconcile with the ghosts of her violent past, literally, as she trudges through a world of dystopian cityscapes, reanimated corpses, & ganglands full of animal human hybrids.

“I created the idea for this series 20 years ago. I'm finally bringing it to fruition, through Image Comics, and I'm putting everything I have into it,” said Alexander. “I wanted to create a sci-fi series that veers off into ghosts and the supernatural and becomes something completely different.”

EMPTY ZONE #1 arrives on June 17 and can be ordered with Diamond Code APR150504.

Looks promising

Seems interesting. I'll be picking the first issue up at least.

Interesting stuff.

Speaking of 20 years in the making, does this have anything to do with Empty Zone, Empty Zone: Trancemissions, and Empty Zone: Under Dead Television Skies? Next question, is this a continuation or re-telling of this story?

It gets more and more confusing as it seems that even this series already exists in one way or another, see comicbookdb. -- Edit: Oh, I should have read the small print. It also says it was planned to be a five-issue mini-series but only 2 issues were ever released.

I like the artwork. I dig it

It's empty out there.

I remember this series being awesome when it was published by Sirius fifteen~ish years ago. I am definitely looking forward to seeing more from it. I think it was the first cyberpunky comic I picked up.

The art has grabbed me in this one. I'll check it out.

I'm loving the art.
