Dreamchilde Press Releases QUANTUM: Rock of Ages #2

New York Independent Comic Book Publisher Continues Cross-Time Epic

(PRWEB) February 26, 2004 -- New York Independent Comic Book Publisher Continues Cross-Time Epic.

Philip Clark and his team at Dreamchilde Press continue their mind-bending tale of alternate realities with the release of Quantum: Rock of Ages #2. This bimonthly independent comic has already garnered much critical praise, and the new installment promises to maintain the high standard of excellence in storytelling and originality set by its debut. While navigating the mysterious waters of the time/space continuum, Quantum also pokes fun at pop culture in various alternate universes.

Described as High Fidelity meets Sliders, Quantum follows the adventures of Nick Vargas, a jaded musician turned record-store owner. Due to a Nazi experiment gone awry in an alternate reality, Nick is unwittingly taken on the ultimate cross-time thrill ride. His goal is to reassemble the Quantum Silica-an ancient and powerful artifact that has been split into seven fragments-in order to repair time and space before they fade from existence. Each unique character in Quantum discovers a fragment of the bizarre gemstone embedded into their bodies. These fragments of the Quantum" sphere offer a unique power to each of them, and need to be reassembled before Nick can return to his record store reality. The longer it takes Nick and his counterparts to do this, the more alternate realities start to blink into oblivion, one universe at a time.

This issue also heralds the addition of two new creative forces on the art team. New York artist James Rodriguez provides the wraparound cover and a sneak preview of his upcoming run as series artist. Also joining the Dreamchilde bullpen is Robert Ashcraft, who takes over as series colorist with his eye-catching grayscales. Quantum #2 marks the departure of artist and co-creator Ozzy Longoria.

Quantum: Rock of Ages #2, published by Dreamchilde Press, hits comic book specialty shops this Wednesday. Quantum: Rock of Ages #3 is available for ordering in the February issue of Diamond Comics Distributors Previews" catalog (32-page black and white comic book w/ hand-painted wrap-around cover by James Rodriguez, $2.99)
