AWA Studios September 2023 Sees Squirmy Thriller Rumpus Room Launch From All-Star Creative Team!
Newsarama reports.
…”Scares. Squirmy satire. Skin cream.” That’s what AWA Studios are promising from Rumpus Room, a new five-issue thriller by writer Mark Russell and Ant-Man artist Ramon Rosanas…
…AWA says the book, “takes aim at the foundations of the American social structure and incisively dissects it alongside the feeling many share that things are going okay for you as long as you’re doing better than the people around you…”
…”Rumpus Room is a parable for how in American civilization, on some level, we’re set against each other by forces that are too powerful for us to reach,” Russell explains in a statement. “It parallels the underlying assumption of American life as well: ‘I can’t do anything about the real things that are destroying me, so I’ll take all my rage out against the people who cross me.’ Rumpus Room is about this misguided anger that we all have and how it weaponizes us against each other.”
AWA’s chief creative officer, Axel Alonso, said of the new book, “Any project Mark Russell puts in front of me, I’m going to take a good look at it. With Rumpus Room, Mark once again displays his unique brand of black comedic social satire, perfectly complemented by Ramon Rosanas’ incredible storytelling. Rumpus Room is a dark and demented thrill ride that holds up a funhouse mirror image of the world we live in – exactly the kind of very original storytelling we want to do at AWA. I’m proud he’s a continued member of the AWA family…”
…Rumpus Room #1 will be published by AWA Studios on September 20.
Preview pages have also been released.
