Zenescope Entertainment has send BF a teaser for the brand new ongoing comic book series entitled FLY. The upcoming series is written by Raven Gregory (The Waking, Return To Wonderland) with interior art by Rex Mundi co-creator and artist, Eric J.
The story follows three teenagers who gain access to a designer drug which gives them the power to fly. The drug seems too good to be true and eventually one of the teens starts to realize that it just might be. Now years later, Eddie is on the run from his past and he desperately needs to figure out a way to help his former girlfriend kick the habit before it kills them both. “This is a very personal story for me” says writer/creator Raven Gregory. “Addiction is something that has affected my life in different ways for many years and writing this story was the perfect outlet for my battle against the disease. I’m so proud of this story and I’m thankful that Zenescope had the balls to publish it.”
Early reviews of “Fly” have been nothing short of glowing. USA Today writer Brian Truitt called it “an insightful tale that delves into the consequences of addiction and observes what happens when superpowers aren’t all that super.”
Zenescope is promoting issue #1 with the exclusive Kirkham cover available to retailers who order 20 copies of covers A, B or C. As an added bonus retailers who order 20 copies of cover A get 5 additional copies free. Fly #1 hits shelves in June and is currently available for order through Diamond Previews. Go to Zenescope’s website at www.zenescope.com and Facebook page www.facebook.com/Zenescope for more information.
FLY #1
Raven Gregory (W) Eric J (A)
What if there was a drug that gave you the power to fly? How far would you go to possess it and who would you hurt to get your next “fix?” This is the story of Eddie Patron. Eddie was trying to live a normal life. But he has a secret, one that is coming back to haunt him, and Eddie’s life will never be the same. From the mind of the writer of Image Comics’ THE GIFT, Zenescope’s Wonderland trilogy and THE WAKING comes Raven Gregory’s latest tale of suspense set in a world where superheroes aren’t really heroes at all… How far would you go to FLY?
