A classic returns! After almost two decades away, NEGATIVE BURN—the multiple Eisner, Harvey, Eagle, and Gem Award–nominated anthology—reignites under original editor Joe Pruett, delivering all-new tales from some of the most explosive talents in comics!
Always a defiantly genre-free showcase of sequential art where both established stars and rising voices collide in bold, creator-driven storytelling, NEGATIVE BURN continues to ignore trends and set its own path!
