Jay Gunn’s book, Surface Tension, has been optioned for TV according to Will O’Mullane Titan Comics Press Officer. Surface Tension is the story about a small UK town besieged by strange aquatic creatures.
From the Press Release:
We’re so happy to announce that Jay Gunn’s Surface Tension series (published March 2016) has been optioned for TV!
Surface Tension, a delirious mix of Hayao Miyasaki and The Walking Dead, is rich in unforgettable characters, vivid images and heartfelt emotion. I have included the official synopsis for the comic book below:
Months ago, 99% of humanity walked into the sea and dissolved. When two people are washed up on the beach of the tiny island of Breith – their biology completely rewritten – the survivors of Breith are thrown into chaos. Are they our last hope – or our executioners?
Copies of Surface Tension are available at Mycomicshop. The Subscription Cover for #1 is available at TFAW for below cover. Copies of Surface Tension are available on eBay, a few sets and some trade paper backs make up the 14 current listings. The one to get, and you can find it cheap still, is the Black and White Incentive.
Phoenix Comic Con Wrap up 2016
Louie M. writes for comicsheatingup.net and covers conventions in the South West.
I have professed my love for Phoenix Comicon here before; the atmosphere, the organization, guests, etc. We are fortunate in Phoenix to have a local group put on a show of this magnitude. It was another great year despite a heat wave that had temperatures as high as 115. The crowds were the biggest ever and many vendors I spoke with had a great show if not their best.
