From the minds of Donny Cates (Hunter
Quaid) and Mark Reznicek (percussive force of the Toadies) comes a brand-new superhero series
that packs an eighty-proof punch. Dark Horse Comics is thrilled to announce Buzzkill!
Ruben is not your average alcoholic; he’s
an unstoppable superhero who derives his powers from imbibing massive amounts of alcohol. After all
the disasters it’s caused in his personal life, he’s ready to get clean . . .
and the city’s supervillains couldn’t
“What I like so much about the book is that while it has these wild
superhero trappings, at its core it’s a very sweet and very personal story
about the relationship between power and addiction, and the very real
consequences of both,” states Donny Cates. “It’s something that really
interests me, and I think that sometimes we approach issues like these in comics
as punch lines. What we’ve really tried to do here is take something
really devastating and horrible, and examine it through a
very familiar terrain. Also, there is a character named Panteradactyl. So there’s
that.”
In this wildly
gorgeous new four-part miniseries from artist Geoff Shaw (Batman 80-Page Giant) and colorist Lauren Affe, Buzzkill is drunk
with power!
“Working on Buzzkill is kinda
like hanging out in a bar, drinking beers and doing shots with your buddy, and
discussing the weirdest, wildest, most effed-up stuff you can think of to put
in a comic. In fact, that’s exactly
what it’s like,” says Mark Reznicek. “Donny Cates is the evil genius of comics,
so it’s a total blast to work with him. If you ever wanted to see what a
drunken, superpowered barroom brawl looks like, or wondered what would happen
to bears in the airless vacuum of space, or wanted to see a baboon in a
business suit . . . Buzzkill is the
book for you!”
Buzzkill #1 is on sale September 18 in
comic shops everywhere!
