Media Release -- April 21st, 2009 - Los Angeles, CA - BOOM! Studios announces its exciting new mini-series DEAD RUN debuting this June! From EUREKA's Andrew Cosby and HEXED's Michael Alan Nelson, with art by Zuda sensation Francesco Biagini - DEAD RUN is all speed, no limits. "If you like your Post-Apocalypse with fast cars and loud guns.... " said BOOM! Studios Managing Editor Matt Gagnon, "This is the series for you!"
DEAD RUN tells the story of NICK MASTERS, the go to guy for getting what you need in the wasteland once known as the United States of America. Nick's a driver, the best there is. If you need something picked-up, delivered, or disposed of, Nick's your man. And he's all business. But when he fails to deliver an important package to a local crime lord, Nick's business suddenly becomes very personal. With DEAD RUN, BOOM! Studios brings the science-fiction action in the vein of MAD MAX to comics.
"Nick's been racing around the apocalypse that is my mind for awhile now," said EUREKA creator Andy Cosby. "This is one of the creations I am most excited about. Making it a reality with Michael Alan Nelson and Francesc Biagini has been a blast."
Collaborating for the first time, EUREKA creator Andrew Cosby and the critically acclaimed author of FALL OF CTHULHU and HEXED, Michael Alan Nelson, DEAD RUN is the science fiction comic of the summer.
DEAD RUN #1 features two covers by Eric Canete and Jason Shawn Alexander, with a Diamond Order Code of APR090724.
