"Seguir libros como Tremor Dose y Double Walker no es fácil, sigo muy orgulloso de ambas historias", dice el escritor Michael Conrad. “Con NEPTUNE quería arrancar algo de los titulares y abordarlo en una novela gráfica. El resultado se parece mucho menos a un "entretenimiento" y más a observar un accidente automovilístico, algo que no deseas ver, pero de lo que no puedes apartar la mirada. Nathan Ooten lo logró, cada página logra ser al mismo tiempo una hermosa muestra de su enfoque multimedia del arte secuencial y una representación profana de un tema bastante vil”.
Atormentado por su pasado, Corey Harrison finalmente es liberado de prisión después de cumplir 17 años por un crimen violento. Ahora, Corey busca la verdad que rodea la reciente y misteriosa muerte de su hermano, sólo para descubrir una gran oscuridad que rodea su legado.
NEPTUNE es un examen sombrío de la máquina capitalista y de aquellos atrapados en sus engranajes. Al mismo tiempo violento y hermoso, fundamentado y alucinatorio.
Conrad continuó: "NEPTUNE no fue fácil de crear, la historia contiene muchos elementos complejos y preocupantes que incluyen encarcelamiento, asesinato, trata de personas y explotación", dice el escritor Michael Conrad. "Dudo en llamar a NEPTUNO una historia de terror, pero sin duda es horrible".
"La carrera de Michael Conrad como escritor de cómics continúa creciendo y estamos emocionados de ser parte de ella", dice Jeff DiBartolomeo, director general y director de tecnología de Comixology. “Ha sido emocionante presentar las novelas gráficas propiedad de los creadores de Michael (Tremor Dose, Double Walker y ahora Neptune) con Comixology Originals. Esta es una historia pesada que trata elementos complejos que requieren un toque artístico único, y nos complace destacar el trabajo de un nuevo artista brillante como Nathan Ooten".

Comixology Originals and Michael Conrad Announce NEPTUNE A Tale of Revenge and Redemption With Art by Newcomer Nathan Ooten | |
| |
Arriving from Comixology Originals this Fall and in Print from Dark Horse in 2025 | |
MILWAUKIE, Ore., (July 18, 2024)— Comixology Originals, Michael Conrad (Tremor Dose, Double Walker, Wonder Woman, Batgirls) and debut comic artist Nathan Ooten announce NEPTUNE, a tale of revenge and redemption. Announced timed to Comic-Con International San Diego, NEPTUNE is an evocative original graphic novel featuring letters by Kyle Arends and edits by Zane Barrow. NEPTUNE will be available digitally on September 3, 2024, from Comixology Originals, Amazon’s exclusive digital content line and arrives in print from Dark Horse Books in bookstores on March 4, 2025, and in comic shops on March 5, 2025.
“Following books like Tremor Dose and Double Walker isn’t easy, I remain quite proud of both of those stories,” says writer Michael Conrad. “With NEPTUNE I wanted to rip something from the headlines and address it in a graphic novel. The result feels far less like “entertainment” and more like observing a car crash, a thing you don’t wish to see, but can’t look away from. Nathan Ooten nailed it, each page manages to be at once a beautiful display of his multimedia approach to sequential art, and a profane representation of quite vile subject matter.”
Haunted by his past, Corey Harrison finds himself finally freed from incarceration after serving 17 years for a violent crime. Now, Corey seeks the truth surrounding the recent and mysterious death of his brother, only to discover a vast darkness surrounding his legacy.
NEPTUNE is a bleak examination of the capitalist machine, and those trapped in its gears. At once violent and beautiful, grounded and hallucinatory.
Conrad continued, “NEPTUNE wasn’t easy to create, the story contains a lot of complex and troubling elements including incarceration, murder, human trafficking, and exploitation,” says writer Michael Conrad. “I hesitate to call NEPTUNE a horror story, but it is most certainly horrific.” "Michael Conrad's career as a comics writer continues to grow and we're excited to be a part of it," says Jeff DiBartolomeo, Comixology’s GM and CTO. “It's been thrilling to debut Michael's creator-owned graphic novels – Tremor Dose, Double Walker, and now Neptune – with Comixology Originals. This is a heavy story that deals with complex elements that require a unique artistic touch, and we’re pleased to spotlight the work of a bright new artist in Nathan Ooten." Fuentes/Sources |
