Noise pollution is crushing life on Earth. The largest mega-corporation on the planet finances a crazy project called The P.R.I.S.M. (Purifying Recording Interplanetary Space Mission) to combat the phenomenon: sending a musical supergroup into space to record an album that will produce sounds able to push back the threat known as S.O.T.W. (Smoke on the Water) and save the planet. Where rock’n’roll excess and the survival of all life on Earth collide, there is…THE PRISM!
Catch the expanded 40-page debut issue at the standard 32-page price.
Four variant covers of Issue 1 will be available by artists including Matteo De Longis, Francesco Tomaselli, Guillaume Martinez, and Carlos Nieto (“Metallica: Ride the Lightning” Album Homage Cover).
“People kept asking me when I would finally tackle a long, sprawling story, and it only took me a decade to gear up for The PRISM. I am having the time of my life creating this series,” said. Matteo De Longis.
“When Matteo first pitched The PRISM to us, our heads were spinning from the complexity of it all. It still does but to a different rhythm with every chapter of the story. That’s a good sign,” adds Michele Foschini, Series Editor.
“The PRISM grabbed me from the moment I laid eyes on it and still hasn’t let go. I’m looking forward to sharing it as I think it’s going to have the same effect on a lot of other people!” said Rich Young, ABLAZE Co-Founder/Publisher.
