**THE DISPLACED #1**
**Writer: Ed Brisson**
**Artist: Luca Casalanguida**
**Publisher: BOOM! Studios**
**Cover Price: $4.99**
**Release Date: February 14, 2024**
The city of Oshawa, Ontario has vanished without a trace. Even worse, nobody remembers it or the 170,000 missing residents that disappeared along with it.
As the survivors also fall into the forgotten, they must seek each other out, if they hope to have any chance of surviving in a world where no one believes they exist...
Highly acclaimed writer Ed Brisson (Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Predator), rising star artist Luca Casalanguida (Regarding the Matter of Oswald's Body, James Bond), and red hot colorist Dee Cunniffe (Barnstormers, Crossover) pose the question... how can you feel connected to reality or each other if by all veritable means, you don't exist?

Wayne’s Comics Podcast #625: Interviews with Dave Baker and the ‘Neurocron’ Creators Jan 28, 2024

Show notes

Happy Anniversary! The podcast is now 13 years old, so to celebrate, we feature two great interviews! It starts with Dave Baker from Mary Tyler Moorehawk and then wraps up with the creators from Invader Comics’ Neurocron!

Dave’s Mary Tyler Moorehawk is described as “Jonny Quest meets Infinite Jest.” The book answers the question: Who is Mary Tyler Moorehawk? How did she save the world from a dimension-hopping megalomaniac? Why was her TV show canceled after only nine episodes? And what happened to the reclusive genius behind her creation? I have a great time discussing this book with Dave as we explore who the characters are, the book’s mind-bending art style, and what Dave is up to in the months ahead! Tell your local comics shop you want it when it is released on February 13!

Then everything wraps up with my interview with the creators of Neurocron from Invader Comics! I talk with scripters Daniel Powell and Erin Foley-Chan, and artist Dennis Calero! The book is described this way: “When a seemingly random murder turns up an illegal, biotech-enhanced corpse, FBI Agent Vera Morales pulls at the threads and becomes embroiled in a conspiracy that could very well change the course of human evolution.” We talk about how the book came to be, who the characters are, and what we can expect from this high-power team in the coming months! Be sure to support this here on Kickstarter before February 10 and let your local comics shop know you want this book, which will be released on February 28!
