What if the world’s pop stars and celebrities were literally products, grown by the world’s wealthiest (and most depraved) minds—and one of them escaped? Dark Horse presents the new four-issue miniseries Pop!Smart and savage! Sexy and scathing! Writer Curt Pires (Theremin, LP) and artist Jason Copland (Daredevil, RoboCop, Kill All Monsters) deliver a series that’s original, exciting, and sure to draw attention!As unique as it is entertaining, Pop is a white-knuckled thrill ride through the marketing-mastered, technologically tethered tragicomedy we call life.
Copland has previously worked on Once Upon a Time Machine, an anthology from Dark Horse, and has recently filled in on Marvel’s Eisner-winning Daredevil from Mark Waid.Earlier this year, ComicBook.com named series artist Jason Copland one of our top creators to watch in 2014.
