Announced back in March, RED ATLANTIS is a supernatural political espionage thriller that could not be more relevant to the state of anxiety that everybody is experiencing right now – especially with today being Election Day (please vote if you haven’t already). Written by Stephanie Phillips and illustrated by Robert Carey – with colors by Roshand letters by Troy Peteri – the series was actually created by real-life spy, Janosh Neumann, former operative of the FSB Investigative Directorate (successor to the KGB). Here’s what some of Jan’s close friends and colleagues are saying about RED ATLANTIS: “RED ATLANTIS rips issues from the headlines to tell a compelling story about mind control, hacking, conspiracy and deception – issues that are impacting our national security today” – John Sipher, 28 years in the CIA’s clandestine service “...bring[s] to life the post-Cold War world that swirls in the shadows of organized crime, spying and back alley competition between Americans and their Russian adversaries.” – Christopher P. Costa, former U.S. intelligence officer and Executive Director of the International Spy Museum, Washington, D.C. “If you like spy thrillers, you will love RED ATLANTIS...It is highly relevant to current events and could have been pulled from tomorrow’s headlines.” – Sarah M. Carlson, former CIA officer and author of “In the Dark of War” For the complete dossier of former spy and spymaster reviews, click here! HERE’S WHAT’S SHAKING THIS WEEK AT YOUR COMIC SHOP
