Clare’s Comics Catalogue – No. 1 With A Bullet
Image Comics is pleased to reveal early interior pages and teaser trailer for No. 1 With A Bullet by Jacob Semahn and Russ Manning Award-winning artist Jorge Corona. The all-new thriller series, by the creative team behind fan-favorite miniseries GONERS, will hit stores this November.
Her social media, strong. Her variety show segments, a hit. In NO. 1 WITH A BULLET, Nash Huang is at the top of her game. But when the iRis Shutter contact lens hits the market, Nash’s life is personally invaded. The latest leap forward in “technological progress,” these contacts not only play video or augment reality… but also record with the blink of an eye. Fighting to keep her life together after a leaked sex tape goes viral, a clingy super fan is the last thing on Nash’s mind… but that’s exactly when the bodies pile up and the terror begins.
When you can pull a quote from horror maestro Clive Barker to promote your comic you are on to a good thing.
“A sublime piece of futurism that is both entertaining in its absurdity and terrifying in its predictions.” —Clive Barker
Based on these initial pages I think Barker is right on the money here. We’re all too aware, in this growing media obsessed climate, of presenting an image to the public. Whether that’s through carefully chosen snapchat filters or the perfectly edited Vlog on your YouTube channel. The idea of a contact lens that captures video in the blink of an eye is a sci-fi trope we’ve seen in countless movies and TV shows and it always gives me chills when I see it done. In the era of leaked sex tapes, hacked sexts and revenge porn, something like the iRis lens has terrifying possibilities.
I’m looking forward to reading more when No. 1 With A Bullet hits comic book stores in November.
