BIG HITTERS #1 DEBUTS!
BIG HITTERS #1 DEBUTS AT 99¢
Contraband Comics Proudly Announces
Newest Release Through Exclusive
Partnership With iVerse Media
September 5, 2012, Tempe, AZ—Big Hitters #1, the first issue in a new sci-fi action/adventure series from creator-owned comic book publisher, Contraband Comics, is now available for purchase in iVerse Media’s Comics Plus app.
Created by writer Jon Goff (Spawn, Blindside, Halo Evolutions) and illustrator Travis Sengaus (The Adventures of Spawn), Big Hitters blends elements of noir, science fiction and action/adventure to tell the story of two government-sanctioned hitmen as they navigate the seedy underbelly of a post-war galaxy.
Big Hitters #1 is available now in the Comics Plus app, with both a FREE 11-page preview and a $0.99 26-page Standard Issue release. As an added bonus, the free preview of Big Hitters #1 includes the animated short “Gettim!,” directed and animated by series artist and co-creator, Travis Sengaus.
“With Big Hitters, Travis and I are looking to capture the epic fun and sense of adventure you get from Star Wars, but set against a backdrop that has more in common with the darker side of sci-fi films like Bladerunner,” Contraband Comics founder, Jon Goff, said. “At the end of the day the book is meant to be entertaining, but buried within the visuals and the somewhat off-beat nature of the story, you’ll find a lot of heartbreak and a deeper mythology than may be apparent at first glance.”
Joining Goff and Sengaus on the Big Hitters creative team are colorist Fco Plascencia (Batman, Spawn, Invincible) and the master craftsmen at Richard Starking's Comicraft lettering and design studio.
