Dark Horse Comics Preview: “Blackout” #1

Dark Horse sent over a preview of their upcoming comic Blackout, which will debut March 26. This comic features the story of Scott Travers and his special suit, which allows him to move around unseen via a parallel dimension. The problem is that he has no idea where the suit came from, how it works, or where the person who gave it to him went. Oh, and he’s got people after him. Typical. I like the look of the Blackout suit; think I’ll give this comic a try. Check out the preview below. Blackout #1 on sale March 26 for $2.99 Writers: Frank
