Killswitch, Action Lab's New Cyberpunk Comic, to Premiere at SDCC

Published Sun, 07 Jul 2019 14:30:29 -0500

Action Lab has a new dystopian cyberpunk series debuting in October from the creative team of writers Jeffrey and Susan Bridges and artist Walter Geovani. But ahead of that October debut, Action Lab will show off Killswitch #1 at San Diego Comic-Con at the Action Lab: Danger Zone booth later this month, with an SDCC exclusive cover by Diana Van Damme.

In a future where clairvoyant Augurs are used for their powers but feared, held captive, and persecuted, a disaffected military major is shocked into action by the grim realities of the Augurs' treatment. She puts her life and career on the line to help them attempt a daring escape from captivity.

Here's what Jefferey Bridges had to say about the series:

Society has conditioned us to think about or treat people in certain ways that breed inequality and injustice, and once you realize that, you can change. You can choose to do better. To be better. Even if it's hard.

And Susan Bridges added:

This book features a wide array of diverse characters that represent the world we actually live in, and we've put women front and center. It's a new spin on the cyberpunk genre, exploring themes of personal truth, societal injustice, and the things we do to each other in the name of the greater good.

You can pick up a copy at Action Lab's booth #1737, and get it signed by the writers on July 18th from 1-2PM or July 20th from 5-6PM.
