Twisted, Sci-Fi Thriller “Standstill” Rushed Back To Print

“Takes a unique approach in creating some scenes that leap off the page and grab the readers’ attention. The art is the star of the show here, taking a solid story and pushing it to new heights with gorgeous facial features and lush surroundings.” —ComicBook.com

“Has the charm, premise, and vision to be a truly rip-roaring story of sci-fi revenge.” —AIPT

“The comic visually looks solid and has a devilish playfulness about it when it comes to the art… Recommendation: Buy.” —Graphic Policy

Up-and-coming writer Lee Loughridge (colorist on Deadly Class, The Good Asian) and fan-favorite artist Andrew Robinson’s Standstill has sold out completely at the distributor level. The debut chapter in this eight-issue, high-stakes thriller miniseries is being rushed back to print in order to keep up with escalating demand.

“I was truly stunned and grateful when I heard the news, we have put so much work into this series and just want to make certain, short of assault, that everyone sees what we have created together,” said Loughridge.

Robinson added: “I’m truly grateful to the fans, the comic shop owners and employees for giving us this huge victory. We worked really hard to get your attention with every page of intriguing dialogue, expressive art and colors to complete the package. Thank you for your support.”

If you could stop time, what wouldn’t you do? In Standstill, readers meet Ryker Ruel, an enigmatic, lecherous, and clinically insane sociopath who has stolen a top-secret device that can freeze time! Now, as the bodies of world leaders pile up, famous works of art go missing, and other strange crimes dominate the headlines, only the device’s creator—a run-of-the-mill science geek—knows what’s happening and sets out to stop Ryker’s seemingly endless revenge tour.
