Ten strangers, trapped beneath the Hudson River, are forced to depend on their fellow commuters in order to survive an apocalyptic event...
...those left must fight their way through more than rubble to make it to safety. But the darkness is closing in, and with it their own individual fears and paranoia. It'll be a long road to the end of the tunnel—that is, if they dont kill each other before they get there.
"Kleid and Mutti's The Panic is timely, unnerving and propulsive. An of-the-moment story that still evokes the tension and energy of classic 70s disaster films while still resoundingly modern and relevant. Two creators that match up to make something great"—Alex Segura (SECRET IDENTITY, ALTER EGO)
"A vivid, involving psychological thriller about New Yorkers trapped underground after a disaster. Character, suspense, claustrophobia...and did I mention the rats? Because there are rats. They're just not the biggest problem."—Kurt Busiek (ASTRO CITY, THE MARVELS)
"All aboard Neil Kleid and Andrea Mutti's tense thriller that starts with ordinary people on an everyday commute that takes a deadly and terrifying detour. It's an apocalyptic tale that is equal parts intimate and epic. And it didn't help my frayed nerves that I used to ride that very train to work!"—Ethan Sacks (A HAUNTED GIRL, STAR WARS: BOUNTY HUNTERS)
"A thrilling pressure cooker of a disaster comic that will keep you hooked from start to finish."—Big Comic Page
