A
space adventure sure to captivate science-fiction and procedural crime
fiction fans, THE FUSE is a new ongoing, hard-bitten sci-fi crime series
from ANTONY JOHNSTON (UMBRAL, Wasteland, Daredevil) and JUSTIN
GREENWOOD (Wasteland, Resurrection). THE FUSE follows detectives
Ristovych and Dietrich of Midway City's Homicide division, whose
jurisdiction is an orbiting power station 22,000 miles up.
Johnston
describes THE FUSE #1 as a blend of different influences. “I'm a sucker
for detective stories, down-at-heel cop shows, and the kind of
'lived-in' sci-fi where everything feels like it might fall apart at any
moment,” he explains. “Combine those with a frontier attitude, where a
half million people all think they can get away with murder, and you've
got THE FUSE.”
The
creators worked together as a team and fed off of each other’s
creativity. “The thing I love best about cop stories and crime comics is
that ultimately they're about people, and that's where I think Antony
and I tell our best stories,” said Greenwood. “Combine this with Shari
Chankhamma's wonderful, atmospheric color sense and Ed Brisson's great
lettering and you get the kind of comic that I know, as a fan, I'd want
to check out myself.”

In
“THE RUSSIA SHIFT,” Part One, we’re introduced to the permanently
understaffed and overworked murder police on board “The Fuse,” assigned
to working a new frontier where the law struggles to be heard, let alone
obeyed.
THE FUSE #1 will be available in stores on February 12, 2014 for $3.50. Pre-orders can be placed using Diamond Code DEC130485.
