A LOCAL COMIC SHOP DAY EXCLUSIVE! It’s no secret Archimedes Anderson is a nepo hire. Assigned chief-coordinator of R&D at the American arm of genetic engineering and bioweapons development company Miyashi-Smith, everyone knows he’s here for one purpose: to slash the budget and trim the fat. If he can cut 30% of expenditure from the unaffectionately nicknamed Mad Science Division, he’s been promised a cushy, high-level job at HQ.He goes in with a move-fast-and-break-stuff attitude but, knowing absolutely nothing about the dangerous genetic experiments taking place in the division, he upsets the delicate equilibrium of the department factions, and removes guard rails which protect the workers and the public--exposing them to terrible, evil experiments. In this special introductory issue, featuring an all-new and exclusive story, readers and Archimedes go through orientation at the Mad Science Division together!Ignition's latest series comes from the demented brains of Dan Watters (Nightwing; TMNT: Shredder) and Brian Level (Venom: Black, White & Blood). And this exclusive first chapter is only available in comic shops for Local Comic Shop Day!
