The Stand: Captain Trips #2
Now Available In Stores and
Online!
(Marvel Press Release) After its
critically acclaimed debut this month, one of the years most
anticipated new series, from World Fantasy Award-winning writer
Stephen King, continues in
The Stand: Captain Trips #2 (of 5)!
Acclaimed writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Secret Invasion:
Fantastic Four, Angel: Revelations) gives the apocalyptical
novel new life with beautiful interiors from the
Eisner-nominated artist, Mike Perkins (Captain America, House of
M: Avengers). As the unseen killing super-flu, Captain Trips,
spreads disease and death across the country, the US government
has taken a keen interest in Stuart Redman, who seems to be the
only person immune to the Captain Trips infection. With or
without Stu's cooperation, they are determined to find out why!
Then, in Maine, something terrible falls upon Frannie Goldsmith
and her father! In New York City, out of 8 million people,
pop-star Larry Underwood may be the only one still alive! And
Nick Andros runs into more trouble than he can handle when he
makes a wrong turn in Shoyo, Arkansas! Plus, a mind blowing
regular cover and a sketch variant cover from acclaimed artist
Lee Bermejo and the second of five connecting variant covers
from Perkins – this is a must for any King fan!
AintItCoolNews.com raves, "The artwork is fantastic, the story
is spot-on, and Marvel hits a home-run with THE STAND: CAPTAIN
TRIPS…It is a rare treat for new and old fans of King's epic."
Dan Phillips of IGN.com said, “If you decide you're not quite
open to a thousand-page commitment, you have this immensely
faithful and competent comic book adaptation to enjoy. There's
no excuse not to pick up one or the other.”
Why does Stu keep having nightmares about a dark man standing in
a cornfield with red eyes? Don’t miss the next exciting chapter
in the horror epic, commonly deemed Stephen King’s best work, in
The Stand: Captain Trips #2 (of
5)!
