Memetic #1 (regular cover)
(W) Jamestynion Iv (A/CA) Eryk Donovan
WHY WE LOVE IT
After launching James tynion iv's THe wooDSto much acclaim, we were eager to see what other ideas he had. When James--one of our favorite new voices in comics--pitched us MeMeTiCas a tale of the apocalypse in three parts, we were sold!
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
Memetic is truly an event comic--three oversized 48-page issues detailing the end of the world over the course of three days, and a wholly unique take on the disaster genre. Much like his work on The Woods, James Tynion IV and fantastic newcomer Eryk Donovan (The House in the Wall)will bring horror to a whole new generation and fans of J-horror films like Uzumaki and The Ring.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT
A meme is an idea that starts with an individual, and then spreads throughout multiple persons and potentially entire societies. Richard Dawkins suggests a meme's success comes from its effectiveness to the host. But history shows that destructive memes can spread just as rapidly through society. Memetic shows the progression of a weaponized meme that leads to the utter annihilation of the human race within 72 hours. The root of this apocalypse is a single image on the internet. A "meme" in the popular sense; a meme that changes everything.
