COMING SOON: 'The Panic' by Neil Kleid and Andrea Mutti from Comixology

 


Comixology Originals announces The Panic, a dark psychological thriller by writer Neil Kleid (Ninety Candles, Kings and Canvas) and artist Andrea Mutti (Maniac of New York). The Panic issue #1 (of 5) debuts on May 3, 2022, from Comixology Originals, the exclusive digital content line of Comixology, an Amazon company.

The Panic is a story about the loss of security and control of one’s surroundings . . . about emotionally navigating the moment after something terrible happens, especially if you don’t know what caused it,” says writer Neil Kleid. “The specifics of the inciting incident—why a train crashed, who is shooting, what exploded—become less important than the sinking feeling in the pit of one’s belly, that sense of dread and unease when your personal world is upended and tossed into terrible conditions via unknown means...that...panic inside which drives all decisions to come, logical or ill-advised.”

In The Panic, ten strangers become trapped on a PATH train beneath the Hudson River when their car comes to an unforeseen halt. They are forced to depend on each of their fellow commuters in order to survive. Things go very wrong as they work their way above ground and those left must fight their way through more than rubble to make it to safety. But the darkness is closing in and with it their own individual fears and paranoia—along with cultural, racial, and political biases. It’ll be a long road to the end of the tunnel . . . that is if they don’t kill each other before they get there.

Kleid continued, “The Panic is not only my first real stab at a horror comic but a brutal love letter to New York and New Jersey. And both myself and my ultra-talented co-author, Andrea Mutti, hope you—and our desperate characters—make it to the light.”
