PORTLAND, Ore. 03/14/2025 — The hit post-apocalyptic series launch—Assorted Crisis Events—by fan-favorite writer Deniz Camp (20th Century Men, The Ultimates, Absolute Martian Manhunter) and rising star artist Eric Zawadzki (Heart Attack, House of El), multiple-Eisner Award winning colorist Jordie Bellaire (They’re Not Like Us, Birds of Prey), and letterer extraordinaire Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou (Time Before Time, Poison Ivy) has hit big and sold out completely at the distributor level. Image Comics will rush the debut issue of the series back to print this week in order to keep up with escalating customer demand.
"Assorted Crisis Events has been the work of years, with everyone on the team pushing themselves to do their most daring, truest work," said Camp. "It was a risk that we all took together, and it's amazing to see readers respond to it so strongly. I am so full of gratitude; to my collaborators, to retailers who got behind the book early and aggressively, and to readers who picked it up, talked to their friends about it, posted online, made videos about it. And thanks to Image, for being the only place a book like Assorted Crisis Events could exist."
Time has no bounds in this world, and readers will follow in the footsteps of normal people who are just trying to get through a normal day, but instead have to deal with time loops and space portals, confused time travelers from different eras, and alternate dimensional versions of themselves…all while just taking a stroll down the street. Meanwhile, the overarching story dives into what caused the rules of time to suddenly shift, and if it’s possible to reverse the damage. Fans of Crisis on Infinite Earths, Black Mirror, and Doctor Who will enjoy this time-bending, clock-shattering new series.
A teaser trailer for the series reveals a set of mysterious clocks ticking…but in what direction? Only time will tell!
