Bountiful Garden Lands In Stores

Bountiful Garden Issue #1 is now available in stores! This series, which you may have started on Free Comic Book Day’s 20th Anniversary, is centered around a squad of genius teenage scientists who are sent on a mission to terraform a distant planet. In a twisted turn of events, they find themselves on a mysterious planet. As they set out to find supplies to repair the ship, they encounter a cosmic horror that has not only damaged their ship, but warped their minds.

“This is a good series. There is something sinister about this unknown planet. It is mysterious and you can feel the danger.”

“A great new cosmic horror story from writer Ivy Noelle Weir and artist Kelly Williams which examines what happens when a group of teenage scientists head out on a terraforming mission in cryostasis.”

“Kelly Williams along with colorist Giorgio Spalleta gives us a sombre, isolated feel as fitting with the storyline and a watercolor like palette that is extremely well executed. If you like classic Sci-Fi along with a Monster/Horror Vibe, Bountiful Garden will prove to be a must read.”

“When I first came on to Bountiful Garden I was excited for the opportunity to do a Sci-Fi/Horror story. I do a lot of Horror but rarely get to do much Sci-Fi. As the story started coming together and we started seeing the different themes that were being explored, excitement just grew! Ivy did an amazing job getting us connected to the players in such a short amount of time. Giorgio’s color work is amazing. His work improved mine 10 fold. The hardest thing about this book was stopping.” – Artist, Kelly Williams

“In Bountiful Garden, I set out to pay homage to some of my favorite science fiction and horror creators from across the history of the medium, having grown up as a huge fan of these genres. Speaking as a writer, the team of Kelly, Giorgio, and Justin has been an absolute dream – every script I turned in, I was so excited to see how they would run with it and make it even more cosmically creepy than I could have imagined. I think this is a very classic, timeless sort of horror story, and that fans of both horror and sci-fi will find a lot to like here (and plenty of scares!)” – Writer, Ivy Noelle Weir

Synopsis: In the year 2200, a team of teenage scientists are sent on a terraforming mission to a distant planet. Selected as the best and brightest of their generation, architect Jonas, botanist Marnie, biologist Jane, engineers Anya and Kamari, and security detail Kurt are all put into cryostasis expected to wake up when it is time to prepare to land on their assigned planet. When they are awakened abruptly, ten years early, halted above a strange planet, the teens are tasked with trying to figure out why they’re stalled – or what stalled them. As they break into two teams, one tasked with fixing the ship, the other with exploring the unknown planet below, they’re faced with an increasingly nightmarish scenario as they encounter a cosmic horror that seems to not only have attacked their ship, but also their minds..
