Ted McKeever (MINIATURE JESUS, Metropol)
introduces a chilling dystopia in THE SUPERANNUATED MAN, the first of a
six-issue miniseries from Shadowline.
By the time
most people realized it, they were no longer in charge of the world we know. In
an unspecified future, the small seaside town of Blackwater has now been taken
over by advanced and mutated animals. Most of the humans that lived there are
now either dead or gone, but one old man remains—a man called HE—who scavenges
off the scraps and refuse of humanity’s past on the outskirts of Blackwater,
and doggedly defies the new tenants.
HE lives a
life of solitude in Blackwater is a seaside town bordered by a carbon sea of
inky blackness, and populated by animals that have been mutated for reasons
connected to the sea. “But it's the animals who are threatened by something
they do not understand completely. And for years, there has been a growing
inferiority tone of indifference and distrust towards him because of his aloof
and self-sustaining ‘humanity,’” revealed McKeever. “He is the unknown. An
outsider who refuses to join in. He will not conform to their rules. And what
they can't understand, or bend to their ways, they will crush.”
THE
SUPERANNUATED MAN #1 arrives in stores on 6/4, and will be available for $3.99.
