...and I'm not talking about
Goodson having gorged himself on beans and cabbage the night
before we drive down to San Diego. Though I do ask you to
pray for me on that one.
No, we got this intriguing
piece of art announcing a new independent title, and Terminal
Press seems to have it together enough to make it worth
your while to at least stop by their booth and check it
out.
From Terminal Press:
"Silent
Assassin: Understanding Trauma," the debut title of
Terminal Press, LLC will premier at this year’s Comic
Con International in San Diego from July 22-25 (booth E-8)
and will be available nation-wide following the event. This
48 page, full-color, Prestige Format book features the words
of Brian Ferrara as penciled and colored by Narek Gevorgian,
with inks by Don Redick.
“I
am proud to start with this book and think it gives readers
a solid sense of the experimental and edgy material we will
continue to release and hopefully be known for,” says
Ferrara of his company’s debut title. Terminal Press
is the New York based publisher releasing The SuperFun Company’s
"Toxic Teddies" comic book (Based on the Toy Line)
and Ken Knudtsen’s (My Monkey’s Name is Jennifer)
"Crowpsey / Rufus and Cleveland" graphic novel,
amongst others, later this year. With "Silent Assassin,"
Terminal Press is moving forward with the creative works
of the company’s core team.
“We’re
interested in putting the best possible material out there.
We’re lucky enough to have a talented and dedicated
team and thrilled that we’re able to attract other
talented and dedicated individuals to our company.”
Brian Ferrara’s team includes creators Jessica Ferrara,
Narek Gevorgian and Rolo Ledesma. Confirmed collaborators
include Jim Krueger, Sam Kieth and recording artist Gloria
Velez on upcoming projects.
This
first graphic novel tells a tale three years in the making.
It takes place in The Old City on the planet Terminus, the
last remaining home of all life forms in the self-created
Final Planet Universe. This is one of a number of titles
contained therein, including Ferrara’s "Final
Planet" and "Blurin Da Lines," a collaboration
with Rolo Ledesma.
"Silent
Assassin" explores a deformed and abused child’s
journey through trauma as he is shaped into a hardened killer.
At the height of his pain, a dark secret will be revealed,
forever changing the world he has become so far detached
from.
"Understanding
Trauma" is Book I in a series that allows the reader
a glimpse into the motivations and driving force behind
this most heinous of professions. It shows this individual’s
struggle and his survival. This book is an origins tale
that sets up a journey into the underbelly of a planet on
the edge of extinction.
