“One thing caused the end of the world. You.” So reads the first letter extracted from The Bunker. A group of friends on the verge of starting their adult lives get a shocking glimpse of what they may cause. This is the gripping question posed in the critically-acclaimed, smash hit digital series The Bunker.
Joshua Hale Fialkov and Joe Infurnari’s creator-owned series burned up the ComiXology charts as one of the most successful titles of their fledgling Submit program earlier this year. Pairing an epic sci-fi scope with the grounding of a tight, personal drama, The Bunker offered fans a fresh, new perspective and an instantly engrossing plot from two comics veterans.
Oni Press has announced that their pioneering work will see a new release in print beginning in February of 2014.
The Bunker #1 will collect the first five chapters of Fialkov and Infurnari’s digital series, reformatted and remastered for a traditional comic book size and clocking in at 48 pages for $3.99.
After this perfect introductory issue, The Bunker’s twisting, mysterious tale will continue on as an ongoing series. In addition to portions of the existing pages being updated and redrawn to share new secrets of the Bunker, Infurnari is also enhancing the color palette to the previously single toned pages.
Simply put, The Bunker is one of the most engrossing and original series to hit comics in recent memory, and Oni Press is lucky to have it join the ranks of their rich library of creator-owned comics.
In February of 2014, the future ends here.
