While we are hyped for the Writer Stephanie Williams and artist Letizia Cadonici team project of Roots of Madness, Ignition Press sent over another first look at another comic series also coming this October: DELUGE.
Writer Cullen Bunn (Harrow County, Bone Parish) and artist Marika Cresta (Captain Carter, Dr. Aphra) invite readers to delve into the dark waters of their new five-issue limited series Deluge, debuting this October from Ignition Press.
A hard rain is falling on Sieverville Correctional Prison for Women. As the river rises and its banks overflow, the same walls that are keeping the prisoners inside the fortress-like structure are failing to keep the water out.
With that water comes something else. Something deadly.
What was once outside is now inside, and the prisoners and guards will have to find a way to get free, because if the water doesn’t get them, the monsters will.
In this terrifying new horror series, readers will follow a group of female inmates as they attempt to traverse the flood waters while also avoiding both the very real monsters that are swimming beneath the surface and the proverbial monsters from their lives before incarceration that lurk inside themselves.
“There will come a moment, while reading Deluge, that you think you know what kind of horror story you’re getting. Then, there will be another moment during which you realize everything you thought was wrong,” explained co-creator and writer Cullen Bunn. “Once you get to that moment, you’ll realize anything can happen and we’ll stop at nothing to scare the Hell out of you. Marika and I have a twisty, turny, nail-biting tale of sin, grief, guilt, loss, and terror for you, and once the rain starts falling, there is no turning back.”
“Beneath the murky surface, a new kind of inmate awaits. The water’s rising, and so is the terror,” added co-creator and artist Marika Cresta. “No bars can hold the darkness that lurks below. Escape is not an option… it’s a death sentence.”
Deluge #1 is available in comic shops October 8th from writer Cullen Bunn and artist Marika Cresta, with colors by Ronda Pattison and lettering by AndWorld Design. This issue features two open-to-order covers from Riley Rossmo (The Moon Will Follow Us) and Marika Cresta & Ronda Pattison, and a 1:5 variant cover from James Stokoe (Orc Stain, Orphan and the Five Beasts).
To guarantee a copy, make sure you contact and reserve your copy with your local comic shop by no later than Monday, September 1st. To find a comic shop near you, go to findyourcomic.store. Copies of the standalone introductory comic – Deluge: The Cold Open – along with limited edition merchandise are available now directly from Ignition Press at ignitionpress.com.
“This book has everything that Cullen Bunn is good at: atmosphere, mood, and character,” added Ignition Press Editor-in-Chief Jamie S. Rich. “The central threat in the book, and the location where the tale is taking place, might be confining for the characters, but it’s not for Cullen, who finds every nuance and potentiality in the story of the women who first found themselves trapped by the prison walls, but not find they are further confined by the rain. Marika and Ronda are the perfect artistic partners to bring this all to life. Their attention to detail is impeccable.”

The post EXCLUSIVE: Psychological Thriller ‘DELUGE’ Arrives from the Depths Come October appeared first on Black Nerd Problems.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day star Tom Holland wants to know what we want from the upcoming MCU movie. In a recent interview with LADbible, the Peter Parker actor revealed that he’s been lurking on social media and reading the comments.
Whether that’s a good idea or not remains to be seen! It’s nice that he cares so much, but please take a break for your own mental health there my guy. Holland revealed that he has been reading what fans are saying about the character and what they want to see in the new movie. And even said he brings those ideas back to the producers of Brand New Day.
So far in Peacemaker season two, the alternate universe Christopher Smith (John Cena) stumbled into has seemed like a perfect world. His racist and abusive father, Auggie (Robert Patrick), is a loving dad that he fights crime with. His brother Keith (David Denman) is alive and well, and also his superhero partner. And although things fell apart with his Emelia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland), it seems she’s more than willing to try to make things work. The cherry on top is that Peacemaker is a beloved superhero in this world, famous as part of the crime-fighting Top Trio, along with his dad and brother. But one Instagram user by the name of isuperbba believes the alt-world is very much the opposite of perfect, and in fact is a world ruled by white supremacists. Perhaps even a world where the Nazis won World War II. He presents his case below, and he’s definitely got us convinced. After watching the third episode of Peacemaker season two, and spending a good amount of time in the alt-world, we think this theory is almost certainly true. So far, every background character in town we see, as well as every single A.R.G.U.S. agent, is Caucasian. Peacemaker’s father isn’t angry and abusive because why would he be in this world? On this Earth, having hateful views is the norm, and he wouldn’t be a pariah; he’d be a hero. Even the rock music posters on Chris’s wall in the alt-world are only bands fronted by white artists. The circumstantial evidence is fairly overwhelming. Then there’s the newspaper clipping that shows the Top Trio defeating the Rainbow Creature. This is a very obscure Batman villain from the Silver Age. It comes from an era when Batman fought more aliens and monsters than costumed criminals. But James Gunn doesn’t drop even seemingly silly Easter eggs like that without a deeper meaning. The “Rainbow” being something that needs defeating could symbolize a multicultural world. It could also be a reference to the LGBTQ Pride rainbow. After all, Nazis don’t much like queer folks either. The pronunciation of the city of Blüdhaven is also very telling. Yes, it’s supposed to be a German name, because of the umlaut on the letter u. But most German names in America have become anglicized in their pronunciation. And as the original poster pointed out, we have already heard Blüdhaven pronounced BLOOD-haven in Creature Commandos. A world where the Germans won WWII would enforce German norms on the whole world. This little detail might be the most telling about how this white supremacist world came to be. Another hint is this world’s version of Emelia Harcourt. Yes, she still works at A.R.G.U.S., but she doesn’t seem nearly as badass, and wears dresses and more feminine attire. From the look of things, she has some kind of desk job. That’s not a bad thing, but the Nazis enforced very strict gender roles. In a world like this, Emelia probably would likely not work in anything that was “a man’s job” like our version of the character. Of all of the clues, this one might be the one that’s “reaching” the most, but we stand by it. DC lore actually has precedent for an Earth where the Nazis won World War II. This was “Earth X,” and it was home to heroic Freedom Fighters who fought against the Nazis well into the ’80s. A version of this world has popped up in the DC Multiverse several times. In the CW Arrowverse, there was even a crossover event that introduced us to this world, “Crisis on Earth-X.” We may not get that name on Peacemaker, but our hunch says it will be Earth-X in everything but name. Does this mean there are Nazi versions of DCU heroes here? We’ll have to wait and find out. But we think this seemingly perfect world is anything but.
