New York Small Press Comic Book Publisher Continues Cross-time Epic.
(PRWEB) June 23, 2004 -- New York Musician/Writer Philip Clark continues his mind-bending tale of alternate realities with the release of QUANTUM: Rock of Ages #4. QUANTUM #4 serves to wrap up the first act" of what Clark promises to be a twelve-issue mini series. While navigating the mysterious waters of the time/space continuum, QUANTUM also pokes fun at pop culture in various alternate universes.
Described as Sliders meets High Fidelity, QUANTUM: Rock of Ages follows the adventures of Nick Vargas, a jaded musician turned record-store owner. Due to a Nazi experiment gone awry in an alternate reality, Nick is unwittingly taken on the ultimate cross-time thrill ride. His goal is to reassemble the Quantum Silica--an ancient and powerful artifact that has been split into seven fragments--in order to repair time and space before they fade from existence. Each unique character in QUANTUM discovers a fragment of the bizarre gemstone embedded into their bodies. These fragments of the Quantum" sphere offer a unique power to each of them, and need to be reassembled before Nick can return to his record store reality. The longer it takes Nick and his counterparts to do this, the more alternate realities start to blink into oblivion, one universe at a time.
QUANTUM #4 also marks the debut of grayscale colorist Jennifer Kwon. Originally from Chicago, Kwon is a recent graduate of Brooklyns Pratt Institute, and was chosen after an extensive audition following the sudden an unexpected departure of QUANTUMS last colorist. Dreamchilde Press publisher Philip Clark says, Jennifer coming on board is really a breath of fresh air to the series. Shes talented and ambitious, and I really look forward to seeing how the book evolves with her on board."
As a precursor to the July release of QUANTUM #4, Clark, Kwon, and QUANTUM artist James Rodriguez will be attending the MoCCA art festival in New York on June 26th and 27th.
