Galaxy of Madness #1 Launches: Retrofuturist Sci-Fi Adventure Now Available!
The seemingly unending expanse of cosmos and the fevered frenzy of human imagination intersect in an electrifying rollercoaster that is the Galaxy of Madness comics series. As its maiden issue finds itself gracing the shelves of your beloved comic bookstore, expect an unforgettable expedition through the meandering enigmas of outer space and the equally bewildering conundrums of the human psyche.The narrative boasts a predominantly retro-futuristic motif, and a rather disconcerting society helmed by an entity known as the Intelligence. Undeniably, some semblance of the truth looms in this narrative, demanding not to be brushed under the cosmic rug but instead faced head-on. Immerse yourself in the first installment of this space saga, expertly scripted by influential comic scribe Magdalene Visaggio, adorned with illustrious art courtesy of Michael Avon Oeming, and imbued with vibrant colorings by HUGO Award nominee Taki Soma. The lettering mastery of Morgan Martinez completes the synergy that birthed the inaugural issue of Galaxy of Madness.
The riveting tale unfolds in the daring, albeit futuristic 41st Century, where our heroine, a swashbuckling space archaeologist named Vigil Virgo, is on the precipice of a universe-rippling revelation. Yet to unravel the secret, she must voyage into the void, a region that humanity was ill-suited to infiltrate. Inevitably, the crux of the narrative hinges on what spectacle awaits when she emerges on the other side.
The anticipation is punctuated by rave critiques. Capes and Tights hail Galaxy of Madness as a comic marvel destined for multiple readings to extract its rich essence while Gutternaut commends its bewitching visuals and relateable cosmic horror motif as components of timeless potential.
If the glowing reviews create a wild itch for a sneak peek, quench your curiosity with a retrospective glance embedded within the pages of the upcoming Galaxy of Madness series.
Incidentally, the journey into the 41st-century cosmos can be triggered from the comfort of your digital comic reader, as Galaxy of Madness #1 is now available both digitally and in print. Furthermore, an exclusive variant by industry titan Marc Aspinall has been released in a limited 100 copy print run, taking collectors to the moon – and back.
This first issue is the brainchild of Magdalene Visaggio, famed for her cerebral narratives and intricate character crafting. Rising to fame with “Kim & Kim,” Visaggio consistently delivers rich layers of realism within her stories, with profound explorations of human emotion and experience woven into a tapestry of imaginative fantasy. Each successive work sees Visaggio pushing the envelope, continuously innovating and diversifying, a real game-changer in the comic space.
Complementing Visaggio’s storytelling, are the vibrant hues of Taki Soma, who’s laurels include several creator-owned projects such as Rapture, Sinergy, The Victories, United States of Murder, Inc., Bitch Planet, Dick Tracy, and Iron Man, to name but a few. Soma’s love for comics permeates her work and life, shared with her husband and their amply furry home in the Pacific Northwest.
Galaxy of Madness truly represents a galactic force in the comic world. Offering a unique gaze into fantastical futures and the complexities of the mind, these pages are more than mere ink and paper; they’re gateways to the cosmos.
