The Rising

From film and television writer, Gregory Widen (Highlander, Backdraft) and acclaimed producer Roy Lee (Weapons, The Ring) comes the latest installment in AWA Studios' and Vertigo Entertainment's collaborative project: The Future of Fear. The Rising is a brand new 72-page, over-sized, premium one-shot of intrigue, suspense, and of course, fear. Ray and his daughter, Atty, live in a dying industry town set deep in the Badlands. But this is an industry town like no other. Their industry is intercontinental ballistic missiles, and with the missile base closing down, it is time for everyone to move on. But for six coma patients, asleep for forty years after a mysterious accident on the base, things are just getting started. As Ray begins to notice strange glitches in the missile system and Atty finds grass stains on the coma patients’ feet, they soon realize that something evil is lurking in the base and that the fate of the planet itself is on the line.
