DISASTER INC.: THE COMPLETE SERIES Discover Why the Road Less Traveled Remains That Way. In 2011, the worst earthquake in Japan’s history breached the coastal Fukushima Daiichi power plant, causing three of its four nuclear reactors to melt down. Officials were forced to set up an “Exclusion Zone,” effectively sealing off the land for what may well be the rest of human history. But that’s only if you don’t have the right connections and the desire to experience catastrophe, failure and misery as it really is! Enter DISASTER INC., an underground tourism outfit that explores the off-map attractions typical tour groups aren’t usually allowed. Writer Joe Harris (Great Pacific, Rockstars, The X-Files) and artist Sebastián Piriz begin a disaster tour checking out the worst places on earth while digging up more trouble than they can probably handle. This volume contains issues #1-5. “...a fascinating collection of travelers and one hell of an intriguing world.” – Darryll Robson, Monkeys Fighting Robots AT SHOPS: February 24th CLICK COVER FOR THE AIPT PREVIEW FAST APPROACHING!
