Shrapnel
After five years of war the LAST FREE COLONY in the SOLAR SYSTEM is about to fall. Unbeknownst to the attacking MARINE FORCE or even the VENUSIAN COLONISTS themselves, the most INFAMOUS HEROINE of the war is HIDING IN EXILE on their planet. Now she must ORGANIZE A REVOLT against the very Marines she once fought alongside and lead the colonies to FREEDOM.
Released in early January, Zombie Studios' first comic series, SHRAPNEL: ARISTEIA RISING, has quickly garnered rave reviews.
Produced by Zombie Studios and published by Radical Publishing, the epic solar war trilogy co-created by Mark Long and Nick Sagan, represents Zombie's initial foray into comics, with the first of three miniseries, ARISTEIA RISING, written by M. Zachary Sherman and painted by Bagus Hutomo. The Philadelphia Daily News concludes: "If you want a book that's different, with a heroine to root for, that reads and looks like a film and that packs a whopping 48 pages in between its covers for only $1.99, SHRAPNEL: ARISTEIA RISING No. 1 is for you."
"We made our biggest commitment to release SHRAPNEL, and I'm just as excited about the series now as when Mark first showed it to me," says Radical Publishing's President and Publisher Barry Levine. "The overwhelming response from just the first issue is amazing. And from having read the story, I know that readers are going to want to stay with this for the long haul."
"The reaction to the book, for me at least, was completely unexpected," Sherman adds. "I'm very excited to see the response that it's getting. Mark and Nick's vision of a dystopian future with a universe at war was one I saw in my head immediately, and it's been a pleasure to contribute to that."

"Intense and intelligent story partnered with art that makes your eyes drool." --Ain't It Cool News
"It is, in a word, epic." --The Scoop
"What a great book! Radical hits another one out of the park with this 48-page premiere issue." --Comic Book Page
"Overall Grade: A. SHRAPNEL delivers a high octane future war story with characters that you want to know. Run out to your local store and get this book." --Comics And...
"Honestly, this is one the best books I've reviewed." --Comics Bulletin
"SHRAPNEL epitomizes everything that sci-fi comics should be." --Twelve Fingers
"This is a great beginning to a sci-fi comic series." --Project Fanboy
"People looking for science fiction, especially with a bit of a harder edge, should check this one out." --Comixtreme
"The reviews have been great, but what I find most satisfying is that the reviewers have recognized Zack's more subtle, political themes of the series and the bold departure of Kai's art," says Long. Adds Sagan, "It's gratifying that SHRAPNEL is being received so well, and I'm very happy that all the hard work that went into it is shining through."
