EMPLOYEE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 8/7!!

TRILLIUM #1

(W/A) Jeff Lemire

 It's the year 3797, and botanist Nika Temsmith is researching a strange species on a remote science station near the outermost rim of colonized space. It's the year 1921, and renowned English explorer William Pike leads an expedition into the dense jungles of Peru in search of the fabled "Lost Temple of the Incas," an elusive sanctuary said to have strange healing properties. Two disparate souls separated by thousands of years and hundreds of millions of miles. Yet they will fall in love and, as a result, bring about the end of the universe. Even though reality is unraveling all around them, nothing can pull them apart. This isn't just a love story; It's the LAST love story ever told.
Trillium is an 8-issue series that combines rich historical adventure and mind-bending science fiction into a sprawling, unconventional love story by Jeff Lemire (SWEET TOOTH, CONSTANTINE, ANIMAL MAN).
This amazing miniseries kicks off with 28-pages of story in a flip-book with two covers and two separate but connected stories

Jeff Lemire dips back into creator owned territory to bring you the most epic of long distance relationships to ever be conceived on the comic book page! While the solicitation reads much like Darren Aronofsky's stunningly gorgeous "Fountain", I'm confident in Lemire's ability to blend the weirdly surreal with the intimate emotions and thoughts of his characters that linger in our hearts long past the final panel.

UNDERWATER WELDER GN

(W/A) Jeff Lemire

As an underwater welder on an oilrig off the coast of Nova Scotia, Jack Joseph is used to the immense pressures of deep-sea work. Nothing, however, could prepare him for the pressures of impending fatherhood. As Jack dives deeper and deeper, he seems to pull further and further away from his young wife, and their unborn son. But then, something happens deep on the ocean floor: Jack has a strange and mind-bending encounter that will change the course of his life forever.

Having thrilled and astonished readers with his bizarre, flesh mutilating run on Animal Man, Lemire aims to keep that strange vibe running into his newest creator owned project. Blending his patented character focused storytelling with the seemingly mundane, but truly horrifying events that we as humans must deal with throughout our lives. RECOMMENDED BY PERRY!
