Courtesy of Dark Horse Comics, AIPT can exclusively offer the entire first issue of Break Out, now available in the collected edition! It’s a sci-fi series that offers a tantalizing prospect for the possibility if something alien came to Earth and started imprisoning our teenagers.
As writer Zack Kaplan says, “It’s not easy planning a sci-fi prison break out of mysterious inter-dimensional spaceship. But we’ve put in the work, and launch day is finally here. We’re planning a break out. You in?”
“Seriously, making this book with Wilton, Jason, Jim and the Dark Horse team has been a perfect operation, and we are so thrilled to give readers the chance to enjoy the full series in collection.”
Artist Wilton Santos added, “I’m so excited to finally see the Break Out series complete and released! It was amazing to be part of this author partnership, I loved working on the creation of the characters and seeing the whole story come to life is an accomplishment that fills me with pride. Thank you to everyone who supported us on this journey.”
So what’s the book about? Kaplan said, “The themes of Break Out have never felt more timely, as young people continue to face devastating tragedies and unprecedented challenges in their schools, communities and our world, and continue to show bravery and optimism despite those conflicts. We hope readers young and old find Break Out will make them think, make them feel and maybe inspire them.”
Check out the first issue below.
Mysterious and massive Cube spaceships from another dimension materialize over our cities around the globe. They routinely abduct teenagers to be held inside their floating prison ships. And the world accepts it as inevitable. But not Liam Watts. His younger brother has been taken. And Liam is tired of “thoughts and prayers.” Now, in a “take back our future” anthem, Liam must assemble a skilled team of ordinary high school students and in just a few weeks, they must plan a heist to infiltrate the hi-tech spaceship a mile in the sky. But what they’ll find there will throw their plans into turmoil and challenge their resolve. How do you break out of a prison that’s not even from this world?
