PREVIEW: JOHN CARPENTER’S TALES OF SCIENCE FICTION PAUSE #2

Time is frozen in New York City for everyone but Henry Jacobs—but he’s learned that he can “unfreeze” anyone with just a touch. When he acts too impulsively and unfreezes a person in dire need of medical attention, Henry and his newly unpaused friend Halima need to act quickly. There’s a life on the line. Or will this paused reality claim its first victim?

The mystery unfolds in Issue #2 of John Carpenter’s Tales of Science Fiction: PAUSE, which will be available through comic book retailers on March 26. Written by Matthew Manning with illustrations by Conor Boyle and lettering by Janice Chiang, PAUSE #2 brings readers deeper into the strange and increasingly danger-laden world in which Henry finds himself.

Along with her husband, director John Carpenter, King focuses on bringing the best writers from the worlds of comics, movies and novels together to bring their special brand of horror and sci-fi entertainment to comics. Their flagship comic book title John Carpenter’s Asylum has become a global fan favorite, followed by the award-winning annual anthology, John Carpenter’s Tales for a HalloweeNight, and the monthly anthology series, John Carpenter’s Tales of Science Fiction. More recent additions to the Storm King brand are Storm King Comics Dark & Twisted, John Carpenter’s Night Terrors, and John Carpenter Presents Storm Kids, introducing horror and sci-fi to younger audiences.
