PR: Red Spike TPB Coming

Well, this is making it on here because I was quoted back from my days at Player Affinity, so enjoy that quote!

Image Comics is proud to announce the January release of RED SPIKE VOL. 1 TP, written by Jeff Cahn, illustrated by Mark Texeira (Wolverine, Punisher) and Salvador Navarro, edited by Dave Elliott and produced by Benaroya Publishing. RED SPIKE VOL. 1 TP collects issues #1-5 of the sold out miniseries and will include extras such as a gallery page of covers by veteran artist Mark Texeira and the diaries of Doctor Fairfield, creator of the Red Spike program.

 

70 years ago, the world began its race to create the first Super Soldier. In 2011, the United States succeeded… twice. Project Red Spike discovered that through the manipulation and regulation of the adrenal glands the super soldier was no longer just a dream.

 

The world of RED SPIKE involves soldiers Matt Cutler and Greg Dane, the first to survive the Project Red Spike program. They have been proven on the field to be everything that was wanting in the program. Unfortunately, an upgrade to Greg’s implant goes array and now it’s up to Matt to chase down his friend before he hurts himself, the city and the tax payers who funded their creation. But as the friends begin their very public battle in heart of Washington, DC, twisted and sinister secrets begin to emerge from within the Red Spike program. Can both soldiers survive or are their deaths a necessary measure to secure the program’s secrecy?

 

The critics have raved about RED SPIKE:

 

“If you like a good story with a bit of mystery and intrigue, combined with good action and solid characters, then Red Spike is one I would recommend.” - My Comic Network

 

“The best part is that it’s not a mindless action story, there’s actually very well thought out plot devices and an underlining mystery.” - Player Affinity (Dustin Cabeal)

 

“It reads like a summer movie blockbuster.” - Comics Bulletin

 

“I’m extremely interested in seeing what Cahn and the artists have in store for the future of Red Spike.” - Comic Booked
