Whatâ�,��"�s to Love: Our long tradition of breaking new talentâ�,�"like Rafael Albuquerque (The Savage Brothers, American Vampire), Emma Rios (Hexed, Pretty Deadly), and Declan Shalvey (28 Days Later, Moon Knight)â�,�"continues with the debut of Alex Paknadel and Eric Scott Pfeiffer, two new creators whose extensive world-building in the sci-fi thriller Arcadia evokes comparisons to epics like Game of Thrones, The Matrix, and Astro City.

But when Arcadia begins to rapidly deplete the energy resources upon which the handful of survivors in the real world (aka â�,��"The Meatâ�,�) depends, how long will The Meat be ableâ�,�"and willingâ�,�"to help?
