Scrapper
Description
From the minds of games legend Cliff Bleszinski (Fortnite, Gears of War) and bestselling writer Alex de Campi (DRACULA, MOTHERF**KER!, PARASOCIAL) comes an action-packed story meant for anyone who's ever wanted to pet the dog in a video game (Mom: don't worry, none of the animals die). Scrapper is a good dog, adopted by good people. Sure, he spends his nights patrolling his post-apocalyptic metropolis with his buddy Tank, protecting its citizens from the city's totalitarian overlords, but everyone needs a hobby, right? When a catastrophe sends Scrapper's world spiraling out of control, he will need to rally the city's critters -- strays and undesirables -- to save both themselves and the humans all around them. Collects Scrapper #1-#6. Select praise for Scrapper: "The futuristic canine superhero epic you never knew you needed. But you do. You need this." --Gary Whitta "Never thought I'd love a hard boiled whodunnit with a talking dog as lead detective but here we are. Scrapper seamlessly blends absurd circumstance with painfully relatable human nature... plus, talking dogs!" --Seth Green "There's a new dog in town. Let Scrapper and Tank take you on a tour of the mean streets of New Verona. With humor, pathos and flair, they fight crooks, rats, and the agents of SMITE--and learn the truth about Scrapper's origins. Kinetic canine fun you won't want to miss. --D.B.

About the Author
Cliff Bleszinski made videogames for 25 years, games such as the Jazz Jackrabbit series, the Unreal series, Gears of War, and Fortnite. He had his own studio, Boss Key, that existed for 3.5 years making the titles LawBreakers and Radical Heights. He then wrote a memoir called "Control Freak" and became a successful restauranteur in Raleigh, NC, and then became a Broadway producer. He co-produced the 8 Tony award winning show Hadestown, the revival of Frankie and Johnny in the Clair De Lune, as well as other unannounced upcoming projects. Cliff is a lifelong comic book fan and is utterly thrilled to bring SCRAPPER into this world. Alex de Campi writes comics. She is best known for her critically-acclaimed teen survival thriller NO MERCY and the groundbreaking, digital-native comic VALENTINE. Her latest work is the spy noir miniseries MAYDAY. She was nominated for an Eisner for her first comic work, Smoke, and it's all been downhill from there. Alex also directs music videos, and has worked with acts as diverse as Grand Duchy (Frank Black / Violet Clark), Joan As Police Woman, and Amanda Palmer to the retro-fabulous Puppini Sisters. Alex's background is a three-whisky conversation and involves several continents. She is a single mother of an awesome daughter; they live in the Stephen Kingdom (Downeast Maine) with two dogs. She has an opinion on nearly everything. You can peruse them, along with stupid photos and memes, at @alexdecampi on most social media. Sandy Jarrell is a comic book artist who has worked on titles such as Archie vs. Predator II for Dark Horse Comics and Archie Comic Publications and SCRAPPER for Image Comics.
