Spotlight on Submit: Moth City #1

What happens when a Weta Workshop alum gets a grant from a New Zealand government arts funder to break the rules, change the game and make one killer webcomic? Easy, comic readers around the world are treated to a trip to Moth City, rarely to return the same.

Tim Gibson broke new ground with his one of kind approach to storytelling through Facebook under his Flying whites imprint a few years ago and now at long last this phenomenal work of Cowboys, Communism and Carnage has come to comiXology courtesy of comiXology Submit!

An engrossing and entertaining read… It’s sharp and it’s brilliantly illustrated… – Multiversity ComicsA crime/horror series with a highly polished style… and a healthy dash of noir – From Earth’s End Moth City is a fresh take on the murder mystery that lives at the intersection of detective fiction, noir-horror and 1970s Kung Fu movies. It is a story about control – when we lose it, when we gain it, and when others hold it over us.

From art as much inspired by David Mazzucchelli as classic pulp adventure comics, to a story as rich in detail as a Stephen King or Agatha Christie novel, Moth City is one great thrill ride of a comic. The first comiXology Submit book tailor made for comiXology’s patent pending Guided View^TM technology, this is one book you don’t want to miss this week.
