Synopsis

"Like Kirby and Morrison before them, Gerard and Webb share a dream of super-heroes with a practical use in reality: to alter our minds so our minds can alter the world." -Tom Peyer (writer: BATMAN '66, DEADPOOL TEAM-UP, assistant editor: THE SANDMAN, DOOM PATROL)

FROM THE SMASH HIT KICKSTARTER

Joseph Danner is an existential physicist who sets out to acquire electromagnetic super-powers in order to fix a broken world. But when he encounters the ancient Egyptian deity Thoth inside a box designed for Schrödinger's cat, reality itself breaks! Now known as the costumed Mister Solenoid, Danner teams with billionaire treasure hunter Vivian Von Valiant and an extra-dimensional flying polar bear named Ulysses in a quest that sends them on a collision course with space cowboys, techno-genies, and the cynical Doktor Bleak! This romantically deadpan love letter high adventure comics is sure to boggle your imagination on every page.

Writer and prize-winning raconteur Patrick Gerard (in his feature comics debut) and illustrator Eryck Webb (LAKE MICHIGAN BLUES, CARTEL) are joined by Dennis Culver (EDISON REX, JAM! TALES FROM THE WORLD OF ROLLER DERBY) and Moose Baumann (X-O MANOWAR, GREEN LANTERN: THE SINESTRO CORPS WAR, STAR TREK: MOTION PICTURE TRILOGY) in a volume engineered to take you on an epic romp that defies imagination. Also featuring work by James Ritchey III (GREEN LAMA: MAN OF STRENGTH) and Stephen Downer (EDISON REX, DOCTOR WHO).

This softcover graphic novella is a pick-me-up you won't want to put down.

Review:

"UNGROUNDED is brimming with imagination, wit, and beautiful artwork! Patrick and Eryck's fantastical world features some of the most original characters I've seen in ages, all of them clashing in a fascinating (and seemingly limitless) new universe! You need this book, you just don't know it yet."
