Deadly Harvest, from the creative minds of Erik Hendrix (Simmons Comics Anthology, SideShows, The Evil Tree, Champions of the Wild Weird West, The Book, Intrinsic) and Michael David Nelsen (SideShows, Champions of the Wild Weird West, The Book), with art from Yannis Roumboulias (Simmons Comics Anthology), inks from Jeff Graham, and colors from Doug Spencer, is available now through Diamond Previews and other online retailers (DIAMOND SEP12 0778 / ISBN 978-1-926914-53-4).
The creators call the book a combination of Deadliest Catch, Armageddon, and Aliens, but you can see what some of the online community has to say below as well as ordering information and an extended preview of the book! Be sure to pre-order copies of the book now and check it out on ComiXology as well.
“Take one part Deadliest Catch, and one part Firefly. Season with a dash of Pirates of the Caribbean. Mix until consistency is smooth. Garnish with a pinch of Aliens, and serve at absolute zero. This is the recipe for Deadly Harvest, from Arcana.” – WORD OF THE NERD
“Deadly Harvest has a solid story line thus far and the idea behind the book itself gives it a good hook for any readers that enjoy a good scifi twist or even TV shows like “Deadliest Catch”. It’s real easy to get in the characters heads while twists in the plot still leave it unpredictable, especially in the end.” – BLOODY-DISGUSTING
“Deadly Harvest is an amazing graphic novel. It’s worth purchasing when it’s released in November so add it to your pull list. This is an indie work that proves that 2012 is the year of the indie creator.” – FANBOYBUZZ
ComiXology is releasing the book by issues exclusively between now and October, in advance of its print debut in November! Below, you will see some info on the book, it’s release schedule, and some basic ordering info, too. Also, of course, there’s a download link for review purposes only.

DESCRIPTION: Core mining, the deadliest job in the galaxy, draws only the bravest, or craziest, workers around. Bumping up to asteroids, typically propelling at astronomical speeds towards distant stars, the miners harvest minerals essential to interstellar travel and commerce. Close quarters, dangerous conditions, and less than a half inch of polymer sheath stand between them and swift oblivion. When the Harvest Moon stumbles upon a goldmine dangerously close to a star, the last thing they expect to find is an ancient alien race preparing to hatch an infestation throughout the system. Armed with mining tools and sour attitudes, Captain Cyrus Layne and his crew must survive the horrors of space and an unfamiliar enemy to escape with their lives. It’s Deadliest Catch meets Armageddon and Aliens in a dystopian future.
