Arcana Comics Announces Deadly Harvest

Deadly Harvest is being touted as a sci-fi epic and come November you'll be able to find out if that's the case. The issue is now available for Pre-Order through Diamond Previews, many online retailers, and in digital form on ComiXology. ComiXology is releasing the book by issues exclusively between now and October, in advance of its print debut in November.

The creators call the book a combination of Deadliest Catch, Armageddon and Aliens. It's got to be something worth checking out if it's all three of those things right? Core mining, the deadliest job in the galaxy, draws only the bravest, or craziest, workers around.

When the Harvest Moon stumbles upon a goldmine dangerously close to a star, the last thing they expect to find is an ancient alien race preparing to hatch an infestation throughout the system. Armed with mining tools and sour attitudes, Captain Cyrus Layne and his crew must survive the horrors of space and an unfamiliar enemy to escape with their lives.

Deadly Harvest comes from the creative minds of Erik Hendrix and Michael David Nelsen, with art from Yannis Roumboulias, inks from Jeff Graham and colors from Doug Spencer, is available now through Diamond Previews and other online retailers (DIAMOND SEP12 0778 / ISBN 978-1-926914-53-4).

Be sure to pre-order copies of the book now and check it out on ComiXology as well. "Take one part Deadliest Catch, and one part Firefly. Season with a dash of Pirates of the Caribbean. Mix until consistency is smooth. Garnish with a pinch of Aliens, and serve at absolute zero.  This is the recipe for Deadly Harvest, from Arcana." - WORD OF THE NERD "Deadly Harvest” has a solid story line thus far and the idea behind the book itself gives it a good hook for any readers that enjoy a good scifi twist or even TV shows like “Deadliest Catch”. It’s real easy to get in the characters heads while twists in the plot still leave it unpredictable, especially in the end." - BLOODY-DISGUSTING "Deadly Harvest is an amazing graphic novel. It’s worth purchasing when it’s released in November so add it to your pull list. This is an indie work that proves that 2012 is the year of the indie creator." - FANBOYBUZZ ComiXology is releasing the book by issues exclusively between now and October, in advance of its print debut in November! Below, you will see some info on the book, it's release schedule, and some basic ordering info, too. Also, of course, there's a download link for review purposes only.
