Phillips said that Nuclear Family is “really a collaboration with artist Tony Shasteen. We have tried to create a really weird vision for this nuclear future that is unlike anything that we have seen in apocalyptic fiction to this point,” citing not only Dick, but also The Twilight Zone as inspirations.
“We really tried to create family tension to see how this family reacts to unreal and horrific scenarios,” Phillips said. “It’s really interesting to see this family of four change as they are put through these trials.”
Nuclear Family launches Feb. 24 digitally and in print. Look below for preview artwork from the first issue, by Tony Shasteen and colorist J.D. Mettler.
