FEB251120 (W) Scott Hoffman (A) Alberto Ponticelli (CA) Tula Lotay "Warm Fusion #1 is a phenomenal debut issue, and yet another fantastic story from DSTLRY publishing. Scott Hoffman's script is thematically rich and compelling, blending sci-fi noir and horror in expert fashion. Alberto Ponticelli's visuals bring this grimy dystopia to life in equally stellar form, with his pencils and hazy colors pulling readers into the pages with ease." - Monkeys Fighting Robots "Pushes every boundary" - Newsarama Writer Scott Hoffman (Nostalgia, Wag) of Scissor Sisters fame teams up with artist Alberto Ponticelli (Frankenstein: Agent of SHADE, Goodnight Paradise, OrcIsland) for a sci-fi/horror mystery that pushes the limits of the grotesque. New York City, over two decades into the future, has been devastated by crime, ongoing storms, radiation from a terrorist incident in Times Square and the genetic mutations caused by a life-saving "cure." After a series of murders rip through the city's brothels, an escort named Vin Young, who cosplays as the Brothers Grimm's Snow White-and is one of the generation of deformed victims-pursues the killer, or killers, reluctantly joining forces with Jarrod Hannover, the lone cop assigned to the case. The two eventually arrive at a biotech megacorp developing a cellular metal called Warm Fusion-a pioneering technology meant to replace prosthetics limbs-and soon confront the sociopathic scientist Nicholas Fleischer, his monstrous alter-ego, Mr. Barnaby, and the hideous monster that he's been secretly developing. WARM FUSION is a dark, sci-fi thriller, mixing the body horror of David Cronenberg with the bleak urban future of Blade Runner. For fans of VIDEODROME, THE THING, and ROBOCOP. The Mass Market Hardcover features the complete three-issue series. Art not final. In Shops: Jun 25, 2025 SRP: $30.00
