COMIC WATCH New York Comic Con 2022 Round-Up Part 1: Did We See Your Cosplay at the Show?

Media Coverage:

The stage, set in the middle of the main floor was set up perfectly for some interesting discussions with Matthew Klein, writer of CRASHING, Rich Douek & Alex Cormack the creative duo of SEAS OF SORROWS, Carvan Scott of the upcoming DEAD SEAS and STAR WARS ADVENTURES, and Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, the writers of the new STAR TREK series.

CRASHING with Matthew Klein

Crashing, written by Matthew Klein and illustrated by Morgan Beem (Swamp Thing, Adventure Time, Wonder Woman Black and Gold) is part Nurse Jackie and part The Boys.

Crashing tells the story of doctor and recovering addict Rose Osler, one of a handful of doctors in the United States who specialize in treating “Powered individuals,” human beings imbued with a range of incredible—and according to some, fundamentally dangerous—superhuman attributes. Amid a sudden, rising wave of violence and chaos apparently provoked by these Powered citizens, Rose struggles to balance the ghosts of her past with the mounting pressure of her professional responsibilities, all while fighting to hold her strained marriage together and avoid the lure of getting high.

Rich Douek, and artist Alex Cormack Talk SEA OF SORROWS & BREATH OF SHADOWS

The creative team behind last year’s hit horror series, ROAD OF BONES and SEA OF SORROWS, writer Rich Douek, and artist Alex Cormack comes an all-new tale of bone-chilling BREATH OF SHADOWS completing the duos trilogy of terror!

It’s 1968. On the fast track to becoming one of his era’s most iconic rock stars, Jimmy Meadows should be basking in the glow of newly acquired wealth and fame. Instead, crushed by the weight of a debilitating heroin addiction, Jimmy is on the verge of losing everything—until an old friend tips him off to an unorthodox treatment method hidden in the depths of the South American jungle. With fair-weather friends, local opportunists, and industry sycophants in tow, Jimmy sets off in search of what he’s sure will be a miracle cure.

But as the excursion veers off course and the realities of their environment begin to bleed together with Jimmy’s paranoia and drug-induced hallucinations, the team quickly descends into a nightmare of bloody chaos populated by unspeakable horrors that surpass even the most brutal drug trip.
