LOS ANGELES, CA (November 8, 2018)\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 BOOM! Studios today unveiled a first look at\u00a0THE EMPTY MAN #2<\/strong>, the newest chapter in this hotly anticipated story by writer Cullen Bunn (Bone Parish, Harrow County<\/em>) and artist Jes\u00fas Herv\u00e1s (Lucas Stand, Clive Barker\u2019s Hellraiser<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Terror rises as the Empty Man pandemic continues to ravage entire populations, tearing families apart and bringing the afflicted together to commit heinous acts of violence with no end or relief in sight. The Kerry family continues to struggle with Melissa\u2019s early stages of the disease as the rest of the world unravels and the mystery deepens. What compels the victims to perpetrate such twisted savagery on themselves and others? What do they really see when they hallucinate the Empty Man? And does the disease simply unleash the rage and madness within or is the Empty Man who makes them do these things real?<\/p>\n

Debuting in 2014,\u00a0The Empty Man<\/strong>\u00a0captivated readers as Bunn and Eisner Award-nominated artist Vanesa R. Del Rey (Redlands<\/em>) introduced their unflinching look at a dystopic version of the world we know, where a terrifying disease has taken on almost deific connotations. The cause is unknown, and the symptoms include fits of rage, hideous hallucinations, suicidal dementia, followed by death, or a near lifeless, “empty” state of catatonia. As cults rose nationwide, the FBI and CDC entered a joint investigation of the Empty Man, hoping to piece together clues to stop the cults and uncover a cure. This new ongoing\u00a0THE EMPTY MAN<\/strong>\u00a0comic book series delivers terrifying new horrors, perfect for new readers and longtime fans alike, in the world that captivated fans worldwide and led to a feature film adaptation currently in production at 20th Century Fox.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe true terror of\u00a0THE EMPTY MAN<\/strong>\u00a0isn’t the virus — it’s the feeling of losing your grip on reality and becoming untethered from what you love most,\u201d said Eric Harburn, Senior Editor, BOOM! Studios. \u201cThe work Cullen, Jes\u00fas, Niko, and Ed are doing is as timely as ever, holding up a mirror to our increasingly twisted world to tell a harrowing, emotional story.\u201d<\/p>\n

THE EMPTY MAN<\/strong>\u00a0is the latest release from BOOM! Studios\u2019 eponymous imprint, home to the critically-acclaimed licensed comic book series and ambitious original series, including Joss Whedon\u2019s\u00a0Firefly\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Bone Parish, Abbott, Coda\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Mech Cadet Yu<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Print copies of\u00a0THE EMPTY MAN #2<\/strong>\u00a0featuring a main cover by Del Rey and a variant by Herv\u00e1s will be available for sale on December 12th, exclusively at local comic book shops (use\u00a0comicshoplocator.com<\/a>\u00a0to find the nearest one).
