Wildfire Coming in June From Think Tank’s Matt Hawkins

writer and Top Cow publisher Matt Hawkins will take on the horror (literally) of the genetically-modified food debate in June’s Think Tank from Image Comics’s Minotaur Press imprint.”Wildfire came out of an obsession I had researching genetically modified food,” said Hawkins. “When I discovered that both pro- and con- are shamelessly lying and covering up facts I wanted to do something fun, but rooted in the core science of what they’re doing and the debate. This is basically a disaster story unlike any before!”The publisher’s pitch is that Dan Miller is a plant biologist working with a small team perfecting an accelerated plant growth process. When things start to go wrong, Los Angeles finds itself careening toward unforeseen disaster.WILDFIRE #1 arrives in stores on 6/11, and will be available for $3.99. It can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code APR140497. Cover B, featuring art by Stjepan Sejic, can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code APR140498.
