First Look: BOOM!’s ‘Slow Burn’ #1

After announcing the new five-part series back in July, BOOM! Studios gave readers a first look at SLOW BURN #1 from Ollie Masters, Pierluigi Minotti, Alessandro Santoro, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. The first issue releases October 25th with a main cover by Matt Taylor (Deep State) and variants by acclaimed artists Paul Azaceta (Outcast), Tyler Jenkins (Apache Delivery Service), and Cliff Chiang (Paper Girls).

From the publisher:

Hell is a place on Earth. Fleeing from a botched robbery in New York City, a junkie, her dying partner, and a dementia-ridden old man pull into a mining ghost town in central Pennsylvania. Obscured by the caustic vapors spewed forth from a still burning coal-seam fire from the 1960s, Trier seems like the perfect place for the trio to lay low, maybe score a fix, and potentially take a hostage. But this ghost town might prove more lively than any of them think.
