Dynamite Tuesday: Fisher And Markiewics Bring The Great Divide
Smuggling Spirits creators Ben Fisher and Adam Markiewicz are bringing The Great Divide to Dynamite Entertainment.
In story, humanity awakens in the near future to the horrifying reality that the faintest touch from another's skin results in agonizing death. The survivors isolate themselves, many driven mad by fragments of memories absorbed from the dead. But when a pair of thieves stumbles upon the means to save their species, they learn not everyone is eager to see the old world order restored…
"The Great Divide is set in a desperate, dangerous world. But at the heart of the book are two people struggling with the same basic question we all have: how do we find real connection with each other?" says author Ben Fisher. "That blend of high concept action and deeply personal motivation is fertile ground for storytelling, and Dynamite is the perfect platform for this series."
Each issue of The Great Divide will also contain unique bonus digital content. The first issue will include a download code for "Teowawki," a song about a doomsday prepper on a first date, written and performed by Ben Fisher.
A faux "Public Service Announcement" promotional poster warning of the health risks caused by the "Divide" will be included in Diamond shipments as advanced advertising for the series and additionally released in digital format.
The Great Divide #1 will be solicited in the July 2016 Previews catalog and slated for release in September.
