In the new comic series coming from Image Comics in November, “Comeback“, writer Ed Brisson and artist Michael Walsh asked the question, “What if you had enough money to be able to escape death?”
The series focuses on Mark, a member of an organization called Reconnect, that sends agents back in time to rescue people before their untimely death. Of course, being able to escape death comes at a price.
Brisson explains it like this:
“I wanted to treat mortality as a commodity. Everyone is still mortal. Everyone dies. But, for the rich, life becomes something that can be extended for the right amount of money. While there are limitations on who can be saved from a premature death, it’s still only the wealthy who are able to afford the luxury of bringing back their gone-to-soon loved ones.”
“Comeback” is a series that will focus on Mark and the problems that he experiences with mortality, time travel, wealth, how he is exposed to it all, and how he finds out that there just may be a dark side to saving the dead.
Shipping on November 21, 2012, “Comeback” is going to be a five issue monthly miniseries so be sure to add it to your pull list today!
