BATTLESTAR GALACTICA meets THE HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE
for a game of darts, over shots!
The “hop-forward sci-fi epic” [citation needed!] barrels toward, well, something! From his craft brewery in the fiery heart of a gas giant, the charismatic leader called REKKT plots galactic revolution. His motto: WAGMI! His new recruit: a reluctant HIGHBALL! The stakes: the fate of EARTH CORP! Or maybe just a wicked hangover.
PREVIEW PAGES
Publisher – AHOY Comics
AHOY Comics debuted in the fall of 2018 with the bold promise for readers to expect more from its line of comic book magazines, featuring comic book stories, poetry, prose fiction, and cartoons. The independent, Syracuse-based company is the brainchild of Publisher Hart Seely, an award-winning reporter whose humor and satire has appeared in The New York Times and on National Public Radio. AHOY’s Editor-in-Chief Tom Peyer is committed to publishing comics with a (dark) sense of humor with titles like the superhero parody THE WRONG EARTH, the religious satire HIGH HEAVEN, the sci fi spoof CAPTAIN GINGER, the time travel tales PLANET OF THE NERDS and BRONZE AGE BOOGIE, HASHTAG: DANGER and the anthology series EDGAR ALLAN POE’S SNIFTER OF TERROR. This summer, the company will publish the highly anticipated SECOND COMING, the satirical comic book series by Mark Russell and Richard Pace in which Jesus Christ resumes His Holy Mission.
