TRANSLUCID #1



Number of Issues/Volumes in Series: 6
Frequency of Publication (Monthly, Bimonthly, Quarterly, etc.): Monthly
Retail Price: A. $3.99 B. $0.00
Author(s): Claudio Sanchez, Chondra Echert
Artist(s): Daniel Bayliss

WHY WE LOVE IT: Claudio Sanchez and Chondra Echert have given us such BOOM! Studios favorites as KILL AUDIO and KEY OF Z. Their latest book takes the superhero trope of “the neverending battle” and turns it into a completely different beast.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: TRANSLUCID is the superhero story you’ve wanted but never thought you’d see. It explores the thin line between heroes and villains, and the space between childhood hope and loss.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT: The Horse has been the arch-enemy of The Navigator for years. But The Horse feels The Navigator's moral compass slipping, and even a villain can’t let that happen. The Horse decides to get a closer look into The Navigator's past that he's buried deep in his subconscious and find out what drives a person to make the right choice, and what propels someone to make a selfish one. Thus begins an exploration of why a young man would take the mantle of a superhero.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: Creators Christopher Sebela (GHOST, HIGH CRIMES) and newcomer Chris Visions are two fresh voices that are about to take the industry by storm. Don’t miss out on a wholly unique take on crime fiction.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT: Waking up in a fleabag motel with bandaged arms and a revolver on his desk, Sam doesn’t remember a thing - not how he got here, where here is, or who he is.

C'est moi ou j'ai l'impression que BOOM s'est repositionné sur des franchises "kids" ?

[EsseJi]

C'est pas nouveau, ma ligne Kaboom existe depuis un moment, par exemple c'est eux qui avaient les comics du Muppet Show avant que Marvel ne décide de ne rien faire de plus que de republier le matériel de Boom.
