Klappentext

A comics anthology that puts a new, diverse spin on popular genres and pop culture icons.

THE HORIZON EXPERIMENT collects five one-shots by some of the most celebrated names in comics, literature, TV, and film, providing pilots for new series featuring a Chinese James Bond, a Muslim exorcist, a reverse Indiana Jones, East African werewolves living in Miami, and an Evil Dead for black nerds.

Everyone’s challenge was the same: Create a protagonist from a marginalized background in a popular genre where if their background changed, so did the entire story.

THE HORIZON EXPERIMENT stories include:

The Manuchurian by Pornsak Pichetshote, Terry & Rachel Dodson: a thriller featuring a Chinese super by inspired by James Bond.

The Sacred Damned by Sabir Pirzada: a love letter to classic horror and follows a Muslim exorcist.

Moon Dogs by Tananarive Due: a family of Black lycanthropes of East African descent find themselves caught in a war when the truth comes out that werewolves aren't just a myth.

Motherf#cking Monsters by J. Holtham & Michael Lee Harris: a nerdy Black kid from Brooklyn and his friends stumble upon demon-worshipping frat brothers trying to take over the world.

Finders / Keepers by Vita Ayala: a reverse Indiant Jones adventure that follows an archeology grad student who steals artifacts from museums to return them to their native cultures.
