HALF-HUMAN BABY MONKEYS IN A JAR! THE WORLD'S CUTEST EVER GRIM REAPER!
MURDER ON MARS! IT CAN ONLY BE THE RETURN OF THE FUTURI-PLEX!
Futurius: TALES FROM THE PLEX 2 is coming this April! The 160-page,
8.5 x 11" black and white anthology book will be out 22nd of April and available to buy online to be delivered straight to your doorstep!
Featuring 13 full comic strips, 2 prose tales and a bundle of extra features, Futurius: TALES FROM THE PLEX 2 retails for $11.99 USD and will be available through Futurius.com.
"Tales From The Plex [TFTP] is a visual literature anthology series showcasing work and characters by the Futurius message board regular posters and friends." said editor Daniel Lundie. "The first volume last year was really popular with everyone and I had people actually demanding we do another one, so here it is. TFTPv2."
So what's different in this volume? "Most of the submissions were verging on sci-fi and horror with a few that didn't really conform to any one genre, so we decided to forgo the genre chapter format. The whole book is still formatted like a literary DVD, with the main features at the front and the bonus features at the back. We even got a few strips in there done with CG artwork this time, which is fun to see."
The stories in this volume include BABY BOTTLE, the story of a half-human baby monkey trapped in a jar; PERSONAL JESUS, which plays out like a madcap infomercial for a robotic messiah; FISH DRINK, a sci-fi tale about the hunt for ordinary people who have mysteriously disappeared into wormholes on the streets; MURDER FROM BEYOND THE STARS, about the death of a President and the grizzled detective trying to find the killer, even if it means blowing the head off a few more politicians to do it; BAD LUCK INC, a sci-fi horror play on what it means to give your soul to your work; and JIM REAPER, the misadventures of the cutest l'il grim reaper you'll ever see!
TFTPv2 Features all-new concepts and characters such as the Baseball Furries, Ryan & Brian, Digi-Demz and Anthrax Palmer as well as established popular independent characters Robin Node, Petershark and of course Futurius' very own mascot, the time-traveling slacker Fut!

Macpherson of Edgar Allan Poo fame, Corrie-nominated Devil's Due graphic designer Brian J.
