“Dead Letters” collaborators Christopher Sebela (“Crowded,” “Cold War”) and Chris Visions are returning to a life of crime with their upcoming AfterShock Comics series, “Trust Fall.”

Debuting this June, “Trust Fall” will follow protagonist Ash Parsons as she realizes her criminal family does not have her best intentions at heart, and that they’re abusing her “special gift” – an ability to teleport inanimate objects.

“[Ash] relies on her family to catch her at the end of every job,” said Sebela, in an AfterShock press release announcing the series. “But she lives in an isolated bubble and has never been a part of the real world, all thanks to her family as well. They tell her where to go, teach her a narrative about the world so that nothing she does seems like a crime and they drug her to keep her under their thumb when she’s not working. So when Ash begins to push back against this bubble, what she finds underneath it is not going to be pleasant for anyone involved.”

For Visions, “Trust Fall” marks a return to not just crime comics and collaborating with Sebela, but also inking and coloring his own work.

“Having worked with Chris before, it’s always a pleasure and I’m excited to be back in the sidecar, laughing maniacally and unloading clips of ink cartridges,” said Visions. “Creating with him allows me to pour a lot of the things we love in common into the panels, as well as bits that mean a lot to me: easter eggs, the fashion, and little character nods to other important references. I’m also excited to be coloring my work!”

You can check out both covers (including a variant by Claire Roe), some inked preview pages, and the full solicitation text for “Trust Fall” #1 below, and you can catch the series in comic shops on June 12.

Ash Parsons was raised to believe she’s special. As someone with a quirk of genetics that lets her teleport things, she’s the golden goose of her family.

Her family is the foundation of a struggling criminal outfit trying to get ahead in the world and Ash is able to pop out whole fleets of cars and entire bank vaults. But while she can teleport valuables and her accomplices, she can’t teleport herself — making every job a trust fall with her family there to catch her and escort her to safety. It’s a perfect setup but as things begin to change and the Parsons move up in the world, Ash will find herself pushing back against her golden cage, with deadly results.
