DSTLRY Announces Dystopian Sci-Fi Noir WARM FUSION from Scott Hoffman and Alberto Ponticelli: “DSTLRY, the next-generation publisher redefining creator-owned comics and collectibles, is thrilled to announce Warm Fusion, a new sci-fi horror mystery series by writer Scott Hoffman (Nostalgia, Wag, member of pop icons Scissor Sisters) and artist Alberto Ponticelli (Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E., Orc Island). The series will debut this November, plunging readers into a nightmarish vision of New York City as biotech corporations unleash atrocities to rival the serial killers stalking the night.
Half a century into the future, New York City has been devastated by crime, ongoing storms, residual radiation from a terrorist attack, and genetic mutations spurred by the medical innovations created in response. After a series of murders rip through the city’s brothels, an escort named Vin Young, who cosplays as the Brothers Grimm’s Snow White—and is one of the generation of deformed victims—pursues the killer, or killers, reluctantly joining forces with Jarrod Hannover, the lone cop assigned to the case. The two eventually arrive at a biotech megacorp developing a cellular metal called Warm Fusion—a pioneering technology meant to replace prosthetics limbs—and soon confront the sociopathic scientist Nicholas Fleischer, his monstrous alter-ego, Mr. Barnaby, and the hideous monster that he’s been secretly developing.
Warm Fusion combines the visceral body horror of David Cronenberg with the dystopian urban sprawl of Blade Runner, offering a chilling experience for fans of sci-fi benchmarks including Videodrome, The Thing, and RoboCop.
“Warm Fusion is a deep dive into the grotesque possibilities of biotechnology and its impact on humanity,” says writer Scott Hoffman. “Alberto Ponticelli’s art is transportive, blurring the lines between flesh, machine, and everyone caught in the gutters between. This is an evolution of the body horror classics I watched growing up, and perfect for a time when humanity is obsessed with (and achieving) provocative new levels of post-humanism.”
“Working on Warm Fusion has been an exhilarating experience,” adds artist Alberto Ponticelli. “The world Scott and I have incubated straddles horror and hope, and imagining the extremes humanity will warp itself into in the coming decades has been perverse and delightful.”
“No matter what medium Scott’s operating in, his voice is unmistakable,” says DSTLRY co-founder and CCO Chip Mosher. “He and Alberto foster a harrowing vision that we couldn’t resist.”
“Warm Fusion is the definition of provocative sci-fi; it asks the hard questions about who we are and what our technology says about us,” continued DSTLRY co-founder and CEO David Steinberger. “This book goes to places—extreme and exhilarating—you can’t possibly foresee.”
“Warm Fusion is one of those rare projects that pushes every boundary,” said DSTLRY Founding Editor Will Dennis.”It’s been a thrill to help that vision come to life.”
Each issue of Warm Fusion is presented in DSTLRY’s perfect-bound Prestige format, featuring wraparound covers with spot gloss on robust cover stock, complemented by 48 pages of exquisite interior stock. “It’s the DSTLRY difference,” says DSTLRY CCO & Co-Founder Chip Mosher.
