Escape From Jesus Island #1 – A Exclusive Christmas Week Comic For Phantom Retailers
Phantom First Friday is a new exclusive deal arranged for retailers in the Phantom collective.
A new comic, exclusive to those stores for a period of time, with an exclusive cover and launched on a Friday rather than the traditional Wednesday. And in the process, creating a new micro-distribition model for comics.
The first comic will launch on Friday, December 20th, exclusive to Phantom stores for a month. And it starts with a quote from Clive Barker.
"May I recommend a comic by writer Shawn French and artist Mortimer Glum. It's called Escape From Jesus Island, and it has been created with immense love, commitment and vision. It's almost like seeing a hyper-intense Italian movie for the first time: your mind will be blown."
Escape From Jesus Island is a new ongoing creator owned series by Shawn French and Mortimer Glum. There will be a limit of 100 copies per participating Phantom store. Here's the bumf;
An attempt to clone Jesus eventually succeeds, but in the process creates scores of hideously deformed freaks and a twin brother, Damien, who has all of Christ's powers and a very different agenda. When the Vatican learns of Christ's return and sends in an extraction team, all Hell breaks loose in this Apocalyptic horror comic book series from writer Shawn French and illustrator Mortimer Glum.A group of animal rights activists breaks into the remote Malsum Island Research Facility, determined to document the horrific abuse of animals by pharmaceutical giant ReGen Corp. They discover too late that the horrors in ReGen's laboratory exceed anything they could have imagined.
And this is the front cover. For Christmas Week. That will be interesting…
