DON’T FORGET YOUR BRIEFCASE Writer: Eliot Rahal – Artist: Phillip Sevy Colorist: Nia Sahadewa – Letterer: Frank Cvetkovic Release Date: June 25th, 2025
Synopsis: Everywhere the President goes, there is a military liaison who follows, carrying a briefcase with the codes to launch a nuclear strike—and it’s just been lost. This is the story about what happens when a ten-year-old boy finds a nuclear football and accidentally brings the world to the brink of annihilation.
Meet the Creators!
Writer, Eliot Rahal Eliot James Rahal is a Minneapolis-based best-selling comic book writer and creator. He loves to sit quietly and then all of a sudden talk way too much.
Artist, Phillip Sevy Phillip Sevy is an artist who has spent the last few years drawing for Marvel on titles like X-Men (Astonishing, Unlimited, and From the Ashes), Avengers, Venom, Deadpool, and others. They broke into the comics industry through the Top Cow Talent Hunt, where they drew The Tithe and The Freeze, before moving over to Dark Horse for a lengthy run on Tomb Raider. They wrote The House (with artist Drew Zucker), and wrote and drew Triage, Paradox, and Kepler (with David Duchovny). When they’re not feverishly working on comics, you can find them (literally) running around their neighborhood, hiking in the hills, or DMing endless sessions of DnD.
SNEAK PEEK!
