Sci-Action Thriller Transference Moves Your Mind: The Complete Black Mask Solicits For June
Black Mask Studios' June Solicits have landed, and with them the new "sci-action thriller" Transference arrives, written by Michael Moreci, with art by Ron Salas. We Can Never Go Home returns with its tales of strangely powered teens on the run, joined by Space Riders, Young Terrorists, The Disciples, Mayday, and Godkiller. It's shaping up to be the Summer of Black Mask what with their debut Tubecomics and the announcement of a TV deal for The Disciples as well.
Here are their complete June Solicits:

Description:
Colton Moss and his elite team of special agents run counter-terrorism operations utilizing a secret form of time travel technology called "transference," which enables them to send their consciousnesses back in time – but, when Colton's past is altered to reshape his life in the present, he discovers this technology isn't as exclusive as he thought. Now Colton must prevent a large-scale insurgency in the U.S. – and do so in the transference-past, where a terrorist's consciousness could be in any body, so everybody is a potential suspect.
Fresh off the white-hot ROCHE LIMIT and a string of highly regarded genre books, Moreci's sci-action thriller mixes smart storytelling with intriguing twists while Salas' sharp and stylish renderings portray a range of eras as well as characters that may be lurking below the surface… much farther down than skin deep.
