Already feeling the pull of “Comic in a Can” fever? Us, too … and there’s only way to stop it: By visiting Psycho Mart inside the Oni Press booth (#1829) at San Diego Comic-Con to put your all-American sense of consumerism to the test. Better yet: Get it signed! Series creators Matt Kindt and Brian Hurtt will be appearing as special guests of Oni Press and signing throughout the weekend, so there will be plenty of opportunities to watch two tenured comics veterans figure out how to apply their signatures to a three-dimensional cylinder.
And that’s just the story picks up where the “Comic in a Can” left off on August X in Fort Psycho #1 (of 12) – the brand-new, ticking time bomb of comic book firepower from master storytellers Matt Kindt and Brian Hurtt detonating this summer with covers by Hurtt, Lewis LaRosa, Inaki Miranda, David Rubin, Kyle Starks, and Dustin Weaver!
Ten years ago, the nation of Singapore sank into the Pacific Ocean. The underground terrorist network known as The Seven Seals took credit for the largest act of terror in human history. In the aftermath, the United Nations created a strike team of highly trained covert operatives with one mission: locate, identify, and eliminate The Seven Seals’ secretive leader. The team’s clandestine affairs were to always remain in the shadows – until their final, explosive confrontation with The Seven Seals resulted in a large-scale tragedy too bloody to cover up and too tragic to ignore.
Disgraced and disavowed by the governments that trained them, the world’s most dangerous secret agents have been convicted for their crimes and sentenced to serve time side-by-side in the one place capable of holding them: their old island headquarters, Fort Cyclone – now known in the media by the derogatory nickname “Fort Psycho.” And that’s where the official story is about to go terribly, terribly wrong.
Don’t miss Fort Pyscho #1! You’ve been warned.
* Are you the kind of guy or gal who plans ahead? Then you surely ordered the Fort Pyscho #1-12 PRE-ORDER BONUS BUNDLE … which means you’ll be receiving Fort Pyscho #0, which will also include a reprint of “SARDINES” alongside two other short stories by Kindt & Hurtt. Congrats on being ahead of the game, soldier!
