ASHLEY
NUCLEAR POWER TPB
Writer: Desirée Proctor & Erica Harrell
Artist: Lynne Yoshii
Publisher: Fanbase Press
Cover Price: $19.99
Release Date: Tues, Oct 19, 2021
October of 1962. The Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union is at its peak when the unthinkable happens: nuclear war. Sixty years later, the remaining 13 states rose from the ashes to form the American Union, governed by the authoritarian Joint Chiefs of Staff and protected by a border wall to keep out nuclear radiation . . . and the individuals who were enhanced by it. Nuclear Power is a darkly poignant alternate history of the Cuban Missile Crisis that posits the lengths to which a government will go to protect (or deceive) its citizens. When the Joint Chiefs’ dark secrets are revealed, will survivors on both sides of the wall join forces to fight for their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, or will their differences forever divide them?

Atomic Robo and the Spectre of Tomorrow
Writer: Brian Clevinger
Artist: Scott Wegener
Publisher: IDW Publishing
Release Date: July 19, 2018
Remember the old days when all you had to worry about were mad scientist-dinosaurs or giant sea mutants with lasers? But not in 2017! Atomic Robo delves into the chaos that is modern America, where everything is horrible all of the time!

But that's why Robo is setting up the new Tesladyne Institute in the badlands of New Mexico's Jornada del Muerto desert, with Sir Richard Branson's Spaceport on one side and Elon Musk's Solar Farm on the other. With neighbors like these, who needs to uncover an insidious plot that threatens the lives of everyone in the world?
