Writer Joshua Hale Fialkov, late of DC’s fan-favorite I, Vampire, launched a new, creator-owned digital series today titled The Bunker.The story revolves around a group of friends who go digging in the woods, hoping to bury a time capsule that their future selves can find and enjoy. Instead, they find a message hidden in an underground bunker, sent back from their future selves. Featuring art by Joe Infurnari, the monthly(ish) series launched today and is available on the comic’s official website as well as at comiXology.Fialkov joined ComicBook.com for a brief conversation about the first issue.ComicBook.com: I like the lampshade-hanging with Lost. Was that just a question of, “Well, people are going to say it anyway, so I might as well figure out a way to say it more cleverly”?Joshua Hale Fialkov: Pretty much yeah. Obviously we’re doing something pretty different than Lost, but, there’s enough of that moment in there that it seemed… prudent to point it out. I had a friend comment that he’s worried it’ll end up dating the book, but, I actually think Lost is one of those shows that’ll stand the test of time.ComicBook.com: Did this begin as an ongoing story? It almost feels as if it could be a one-shot if not for a few decisions you made to withhold information from the readers.
