The Theory Comes To T-Pub's July 2023 Solicits

For New York Comic Con last year, I ran a review of the T-Pub graphic anthology, The Theory. They sold out of copies a few minutes later.


For New York Comic Con last year, I ran a review of the T-Pub graphic anthology, The Theory. They sold out of all their copies a few minutes later. But now the British graphic novel publishers are giving Americans a second change, by making The Theory available through Diamond Previews, as well as reprinting a couple of their Twisted Dark anthologies to boot. This is what I said of The Theory last year;

"different alien planets [are] being examined by an archaeologist to find out what killed their dominant sentient species, from viral outbreaks engineered in a lab for love, to AI that feasts on its hosts, to genetic engineering destroying a species. But each story has a coda, an external viewing point, each indicating another level behind it, and we see the real politics play out. First, a military interest in what these species may offer. And beyond that, another coda from another group indicates that something else, somewhere else, is going on and we are all being manipulated, both the characters in the story and maybe even you, the reader reading it. We are all part of one meta-narrative and we can take our place in it. What is the point of the choice and decisions we make if someone else can always supersede them? And that's The Theory, the concept, the canon, the lore, all wrapped up to eat its own tail."

Here are the full T-Pub solicits and solicitations for July 2023.
