ADB Project

Synopsis

A teenage girl stirs from a deep sleep atop a long dining table, adorned with an excess of silverware and plates and cups outlining her silhouette, all painstakingly arranged. She opens her eyes to be greeted by an oversized note plastered to the ceiling above her: “Do not disturb the setting.” Carefully, she sits herself up to assess a completely unknown space: the room is a jet black void, there is a door on either end, and there are loud noises behind each one. She begins to panic.

This dark fantasy comic, set in a world teeming with mystery and horror, is set to release this year on WILDFIRE INK. Its codename is ADB Project. I don't mean to be obtuse…it hasn't yet decided on its title.
