CATES & REZNICEK DEBUT BUZZKILL!
A NEW
SUPERHERO SERIES OF BOOZIN’ AND BRUISIN’!
APRIL 28,
CHICAGO, IL—From the minds of Donny Cates (Hunter
Quaid) and Mark Reznicek (percussive force of the Toadies) comes a brand-new superhero
series that packs an eighty-proof punch. Dark Horse Comics is thrilled to
announce Buzzkill!
Ruben
is not your average alcoholic; he’s an unstoppable superhero who derives his
powers from imbibing massive amounts of alcohol. After all the disasters
it’s caused in his personal life, he’s ready to get clean . . . and the
city’s supervillains couldn’t be happier!
“What I
like so much about the book is that while it has these wild superhero trappings,
at its core it’s a very sweet and very personal story about the relationship
between power and addiction, and the very real consequences of both,” states
Donny Cates. “It’s something that really interests me, and I think that
sometimes we approach issues like these in comics as punch lines. What we’ve
really tried to do here is take something really devastating and horrible,
and examine it through a very familiar terrain. Also, there is a character named
Panteradactyl. So there’s that.”
In this wildly
gorgeous new four-part miniseries from artist Geoff Shaw (Batman 80-Page
Giant) and colorist Lauren Affe, Buzzkill is drunk with power!
“Working
on Buzzkill is
kinda like hanging out in a bar, drinking beers and doing shots with your buddy,
and discussing the weirdest, wildest, most effed-up stuff you can think of to
put in a comic. In fact, that’s exactly what it’s like,” says Mark
Reznicek. “Donny Cates is the evil genius of comics, so it’s a total blast to
work with him. If you ever wanted to see what a drunken, superpowered barroom
brawl looks like, or wondered what would happen to bears in the airless vacuum
of space, or wanted to see a baboon in a business suit . . . Buzzkill is the
book for you!”
Buzzkill #1 is on sale September 18 in
comic shops everywhere!
