Co-créé par l’éditeur Mike Richardson et le scénariste Frank Barbiere (Five Ghosts: The Haunting of Fabian Gray) dans les pages de l’anthologie Dark Horse Presents, le héros débutant Blackout sera le sujet de sa propre mini-série illustrée par Micah Kaneshiro à partir de l’année prochaine.
Scott Travers est monsieur tout le monde. Jusqu’au jour où il découvre une armure qui lui permet de voyager dans une dimension de poche, donnant l’impression à ses adversaires qu’il peut se téléporter. Si la mini-série est un succès, elle devrait déboucher sur une suite de mini-séries, voir même un crossover avec d’autres héros de l’éditeur Dark Horse.
Aucune date de sortie n’a été annoncée pour le moment.

The search for Scott Travers’s missing benefactor has turned up nothing but mystery and even more trouble. And this time he’s up against eight-feet-tall, cheetah-fast, bulldozer- strong, plasma-cannon-wielding, made-of-metal trouble. Good thing there are “only” three of them . . . for now![/quote]

The dimension-jumping Blackout suit is a powerful weapon—except when it doesn’t work! And if you’re Scott Travers and don’t know how the suit functions and are facing off against enemies wearing ultra powerful combat armor, the Blackout suit is just extra weight—dead weight!
