July 22, 2023\u2014New York, NY<\/strong>\u2014Following the success of his debut comic book series Nostalgia<\/em>, writer Scott Hoffman (aka Babydaddy of the multi-platinum selling band Scissor Sisters) tackles his next comic book series Wag<\/em>, a neurodivergent futuristic adventure through a post-apocalyptic world. The news was announced at his panel: Music and Comics Collide, moderated by friend and fellow creator Phil Jimenez at Comic-Con International: San Diego today. Featuring captivating art by Juan Bobillo, letters by Steve Wands, with covers and design by Rian Hughes, Wag<\/em> will be released monthly beginning with issue #1 (of 5) on September 5, 2023 from Amazon\u2019s Comixology Originals exclusive digital content line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think the pandemic got most of us considering the possibility of our post-apocalyptic fears becoming a reality,\u201d said Hoffman. \u201cThis dystopian anxiety felt especially poignant to me in a time when global connectedness\/national fracturing, conspiracy theories, continuing breakthroughs in neuroscience\/neural implanting\/our understanding of consciousness and the whiplash caused by runaway advances in AI leave most of us with more questions than answers about how to navigate our frantically changing world.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wag, a loner in a post-apocalyptic world, hears voices in his head. Could it be some kind of implant from the days before everything collapsed, or has he been slowly losing his mind ever since the pills ran out?  With the aid of an ever-growing band of oddballs, Wag sets out on a quest to discover the source of his troubles \u2013 confronting strange and deadly enemies along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
