Image Comics announces "News from the Fallout" series

Image Comics is set to release a new sci-fi horror series called "News from the Fallout." The series combines the eerie storytelling style of Stephen King with elements reminiscent of "The Twilight Zone." Writer Chris Condon and artist Jeffrey Alan Love are leading the project, joined by letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. With a release date scheduled for June 25, 2025, this comic aims to please fans of horror and science fiction. The story takes place in Nevada during 1962, after a nuclear bomb test goes wrong. This incident releases harmful contaminants into the air. The artwork, presented in a stark black-and-white style, enhances the unsettling atmosphere of the story. The plot revolves around a group of characters at a diner called Atomic Alley, who face various horrors resulting from the atomic blast. They meet a defector named Private Otis Fallows, who helps them navigate toward a supposed safe haven in Las Vegas. Both Condon and Love expressed excitement about the project. Condon noted that the series has been in the making for years, while Love praised their collaborative effort. The first issue will be available in comic stores soon, promising an engaging experience for readers.
