Okay, I instantly LOVE the hook of "Collider"

Another from Newsarama, where they have an interview with Simon Oliver about his new Vertigo title, "Collider", creator of the "The Exterminators" (A series they say is popular, but I'm unfamiliar with, can anyone help?)


Announced by DC at Chicago's C2E2, a new ongoing series called Collider will unite Oliver with artist Robbi Rodriguez to tell the story of a world where wormholes show up in the kitchen and gravity tends to fail from time to time. And when things get really bad, people call the Federal Bureau of Physics for help.

Collider is told through the point of view of Adam Hardy, a rising star at the Bureau — better known as the "FBP." When a gravity failure ends up causing the creation of an alternate dimension known as a 'BubbleVerse,' Adam is sent on a rescue mission, although he discovers his partner has a different mission in mind.



What a brilliantly simple and versatile concept, offering enormous potential for writer and artist alike.

The Universe has stretched too far and starts coming apart at the seams! So they set up a new "Emergency Service" to deal with what happens when your local space/time has problems!

I'll definitely be giving this one a try based on the premise alone!

Not really, the article makes it clear it has to do with the theory that the universe's natural expansion will eventually exceed safe "tolerance". So it's a natural disaster rather than man-made, in fact it's the scientists SAVING them from that natural disaster.
