A Wave Blue World has teamed up with two veterans of Milestone Comics – editor Joe Illidge and artist ChrisChross-, as well as actor Camrus Johnson, for the series “Tower.” We are thrilled to share an exclusive first look at the second issue, as well as share some quotes from the writing team.

Camrus Johnson, Head Writer

“I’m excited for readers to dive into issue #2 because things really start heating up. Now that we’ve introduced you to our main team and how difficult it’s already been getting along, we explore how far they’re willing to trust each other with their lives. Of course, their means of survival differ, so we push that to the edge and make them ask themselves, ‘Do I adapt to their mindset of how to win this game or will going against my own instincts get me killed?’ But even more exciting than that, to me, is how we widen the scope to show how some of the other players in the Tower are competing, and some others who aren’t even supposed to be in the game in the first place. Then we go even wider with a closer look at the inner workings of the Tower itself.”

“There was something so fun about opening this Issue on a different team. It shows there are so many ways to go about this game, and that, at the end of the day, the only correct strategy is the one that keeps you alive.”

“What an incredible feeling it’s been to see so many people going out and buying issue #1. Every picture of someone holding their copy has made me happier than they can ever know! It’s also great to see so many NEW comic book readers going out of their comfort zone and journeying into their local shops to let TOWER be their intro into the comic world. How exciting.”

Kelsey Barnhart, Co-Writer

“This issue is so exciting because we start introducing people to the world of TOWER as a much larger setting, showing the macro-story moving in the background, and it reframes a lot of what people have seen so far. I think TOWER’s larger mystery begins to pull you in with issue #2.”

“As for the Tower itself, I’m excited for folks to see how strange and alive it really is, and how truly dangerous it can be. Everything is bigger and badder. This is the moment where we start to question whether or not our heroes have what it takes to win. There’s a lot of competitors out there, and some of them are working together VERY well.”

“And just to echo what Cam said, we’ve just been so overjoyed by the reception and support we’ve gotten. I’m so glad people have responded well to this story, and I can’t wait for everyone to see what we have in store.”

Casandra, Kimi, and Mac were thrust into a brutal (and seemingly virtual) world where they must compete in a dangerous video game-style competition, and now it’s time to level up! The trio has formed an alliance as they work their way up the Tower, but they’re not the only ones with this idea; TEAM R.A.D. is off to a hot start, climbing to the top of the leaderboard. And if that’s not bad enough, a rogue presence has entered the game and it’s hunting down contestants one-by-one.

Thanks to A Wave Blue World for the preview, and make sure to pick up the issue next week!
