Warm Fusion #1
Synopsis
Writer Scott Hoffman (Nostalgia, Wag) of Scissor Sisters fame teams up with artist Alberto Ponticelli (Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E., Goodnight Paradise, Orc Island) for a sci-fi/horror mystery that pushes the limits of the grotesque. New York City, over two decades into the future, has been devastated by crime, ongoing storms, radiation from a terrorist incident in Times Square and the genetic mutations caused by a life-saving 'cure.' After a series of murders rip through the city's brothels, an escort named Vin Yeong, who cosplays as Snow White- and is one of the generation of deformed victims - decides to help find the killer, or killers, responsible, reluctantly joining forces with Jarrod Hannover, the lone cop assigned to the case. The two are led to a biotech megacorp launching a cellular metal called Warm Fusion - a pioneering technology meant to replace prosthetics limbs - and soon confront the sociopathic scientist Nicholas Fleischer, his monstrous alter-ego Mr. Barnaby, and the hideous monster that he's been secretly creating. WARM FUSION is a dark, sci-fi thriller, mixing the body horror of David Cronenberg with the bleak urban future of Blade Runner. For fans of VIDEODROME, THE THING, and ROBOCOP.
