In Children of the Plague, an oversized one-shot by Robert Love with Jeffrey Kimbler and David Walker arriving on September 29th, 2021 from Dark Horse Comics, a plague from space has arrived on Earth… and it comes with some serious consequences!
When some of the children who have been infected begin to develop superpowers, the shadowy Valmount Coporation begins rounding them up and subjecting them to experimentation. Can Remy free herself and her brother from a war-torn life of servitude?
“This story is not about fighting monsters, it’s about Remy’s personal struggle,” said author and artist Love. “Although she has come to accept her pending death, her relationship with Valmount and her brother Peter is the greatest challenge she’s ever faced — not the fire-breathing monster she’s about to fight. I wanted to do a story about fighting to survive in an unrelenting world that you were not responsible for creating.”
In addition to 27 story pages, the one-shot will also include a bonus pin-up section. Children of the Plague arrives at your local comic shop in late September, and if you’d like, you can read the press release from Dark Horse Comics below this article.
