Courtesy of Vault Comics, AIPT can share the full first issue of Resonant #1 as part of our Free Comic Friday feature! Released in 2019, AIPT gave this issue a 10/10 score. If you like what you see below, the complete series is getting a collected edition in April and will be sold in comic shops and bookstores.
Written by David DB Andry with art by Alejandro Aragon and Skylar Patridge, the series is about a world in chaos after the first Waves hit, unleashing humanity’s darkest impulses. Paxton, a single father of three, must venture from the secluded haven they’ve built to restock the medicine his chronically ill youngest son needs to survive. When the somewhat routine trip goes awry, Paxton and his children, now separated, will battle everything in their path to reunite.
“The genesis of Resonant is likewise a long and strange journey,” Andry said in a statement sent to AIPT. “It started while I was in college, I was leaning out over a third floor balcony waiting for class to start. I thought about jumping. More accurately, I was worried that if I didn’t step back, I would jump. Pre-Google and worried that if I talked to anyone about this impulse, they’d think I was crazy, I sat with this heavy on my mind for a long time. As a writer, I wanted to use it.”
Andry continued, “Later, I found out that it was a fairly common urge called High Place Phenomenon or the Call of the Void. For nearly twenty years, the idea germinated in my brain, unable to find fertile soil in which to grow. And then, one afternoon doing the dishes, the world of Resonant sprouted, fully formed. Everyone would follow their Call of the Void. Everyone, all at the same time.”
