We learned the tiniest smidgen of Mark Russell and Alain Mauricet‘s new comic book one-shot,Kindergarten Gulag, from Ahoy Comics at the ComicsPRO event at San Diego Comic-Con. “For people who ordered the Thanksgiving one-shot about the Thanksgiving dinner where they realised one of the people in their family is a serial killer, I have a series of these odd-length one-shots coming out, which I always like doing because every issue is an issue number one, they’re easy to sell, and you don’t have to worry about people dropping out.” Kindergarten Gulagis “stay with me, about a man who wakes up and finds he’s being imprisoned on an island, run by 5-year-olds. Sort of a loose metaphor for artificial intelligence, the idea that we think we’re going to somehow contain this.” And now we have a couple of Mauricet panels. Might we have a proper announcement at New York Comic Con?
