John Carpenter’s Tales of Science Fiction presents Pause, the latest comic produced by the master of horror.
The first issue in the six-part limited series publishes tomorrow via Storm King Comic. Additional issues will release monthly.
What if time stopped for everyone but you? Would you stay in the nicest Manhattan penthouse, ignoring the frozen owner standing in the corner of the room? Would you eat at the finest restaurants, their food paused in time and still hot on the plates?
And if you could unfreeze anyone with just a touch, would you? Or would you keep this newfound playground for yourself? You could live anywhere. Take anything. The world would be yours. Unless, of course, you unpaused the wrong people…
From writer Matthew K. Manning (Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures), the comic is illustrated by Conor Boyle (Judge Dredd) and lettered by Janice Chiang.
Check out the trailer below, set to the chilling sounds of “Beyond the Gallows” from Carpenter’s latest album, Lost Themes IV: Noir.
