A whole lot of weird and plenty of bullets is coming our way with HEAVY
The new series from Vault Comics HEAVY brings together Max Bemis (Moon Knight) and Eryk Donovan (Memetic) for a mind-bending trip that you have to read to believe. With colors from Cris Peter, letters from Taylor Esposito, and some design ingredients from Tim Daniels the series looks to be all about the unexpected.
Bemis, who is the lead singer and guitarist of the band Say Anything, said he always hoped to write a series like Heavy that would take from the inspiration of all his favorite comics. While Donovan, who will be illustrating the new series, said he draws upon past experiences to co-create this book so readers might find a deeper understanding of their own experiences.
Heavy’s rundown is as follows Bill may be dead, but he’s got a job to do. Welcome to the Big Wait, where folks who don’t quite make the cut go to work off their debt. Everyone in the Wait’s got a job. Bill is a Heavy, whose job is policing the multiverse, making sure bad eggs get what’s coming to them. He’s on track to earn his Climb and reunite with the woman he loves…until he meets his new partner: the worst dude of all time. Heavy is The Punisher for neurotics; Inception for the impatient; Preacher for…well, it’s a lot like Preacher. Max Bemis and Eryk Donovan bring you a story about the existential purpose of dumb boys with big guns.
HEAVY is published by Vault Comics and issue one will be on sale May 27th, 2020.
