A Drug Addict Writer, Transgender Bartender, Satanic Cult, And LA – Preview 9 Pages Of Mayday From Black Mask

March is a big month for Black Mask Studios releases, with We Can Never Go Home, Space Riders, and Mayday, all arriving for their first issues. We've previewed We Can Never Go Home for you here on Bleeding Cool, but today we bring you Mayday, written by Curt Pires of Dark Horse's wave-making series POP, with art and cover by Chris Peterson of Grindhouse. This looks to be a gritty, interesting book about some characters who tread the line on being underworld themselves, and Peterson's artwork and colors have a tough, washed out feel that introduces you to a world that seems on edge itself.

Black Mask describe the book thus:

A washed-up, drug-addicted screenwriter and a transgender bartender stumble onto a Satanic cult's plan to sacrifice people all across LA (geomapped in the form of a pentagram, of course) and bring on armageddon. As our intrepid, damaged heroes embark on a suicide mission to stop the crazy cultists, even they wonder if this is all really happening or if they're just plain batshit crazy. Probably both.

The latest project from the mind of white hot scribe Curt Pires (POP) sees him teaming with art sensation Chris Peterson (Grindhouse) for a story that cuts to the very center of Hollywood mythology and depravity itself.

Here's our 9 page preview (with mild censorship for nudity necessary):

Mayday #1 arrives on , is currently listed in PreviewsWorld with item code JAN151091, and reaches FOC on January 26th. 

Here's a nifty order form Black Mask have cooked up for upcoming releases:
