Get Ready to Live Vicariously: BOOM! Studios Unveils a New Sensation
By August Tales
Just revealed, VICARIOUS #1 is the latest gem from BOOM! Studios. This psychological sci-fi thriller is the brainchild of celebrated Mighty Morphin Power Rangers wordsmith Ryan Parrott. He’s joined by Italian artist Eleonora Carlini, color-team Mattia Iacono and Luca Mattioni, and letters by Becca Carey. Expected in comic shops by October 2024, this collaboration promises intrigue and excitement.
Meet Justin
Enter Justin: a typical 20-something. He’s got no meaningful connections, nor any prospects on his horizon. Nevertheless, our protagonist stumbles onto a revelation that morphs into a life-changing opportunity.
Meanwhile, he discovers the secret Proxies world. Here, young, attractive and ambitious hustlers like him, offer the wealthy access to their emotions and experiences. All of this is made possible through an advanced technological implant.
The question is, does Justin have the necessary grit to survive in this bewitching new setting?
Art at Heart
VICARIOUS #1 features impressive main cover art by heralded artist Dan Panosian. Additionally, its aesthetic allure is further enhanced by variant covers from esteemed illustrators Reiko Murakami and Rebeca Puebla.
The BOOM! Studios Impact
Under the eponymous BOOM! Studios imprint, VICARIOUS joins the ranks of praiseworthy original series. Among these are titles like Keanu Reeves’ BRZRKR, James Tynion IV’s Something is Killing the Children, horror anthology Hello Darkness, and the Grim by Stephanie Phillips.
The imprint is equally acclaimed for promoting iconic licensed properties. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Dune: House Corrino, and The Expanse: Dragon Tooth all fall under this banner.
Read VICARIOUS, Be Transformed
Set to hit comic shops on October 16, 2024, VICARIOUS #1 is now available for pre-order. Also, fans can purchase digital copies from content providers like Kindle, iBooks, and Google Play.
The opportunity to live life, albeit vicariously through Justin, is just around the corner. Can you handle the suspense?
