*Fruit d’un Big Bang qui a détruit de nombreuses planètes et endommagé l’univers, le super-dieu Cosmos essaie d’aider du mieux qu’il peut la civilisation qui le tient pour responsable de son malheur. Mais ce n’est que le début de ses problèmes alors que la menace de Wyan, le capitaine pirate, et du Roi Thulu se profilent à l’horizon. *
La mini-série The Bigger Bang en quatre chapitres est orchestrée par le scénariste D.J. Kirkbride (Amelia Cole) et le dessinateur Vassilis Gogtzilas. Le premier numéro sortira en novembre chez IDW Publishing.

The Big Bang created all life as we know it. The Bigger Bang creates just one: a being named Cosmos. Is he a destroyer? A hero? A god? All he knows is that he’s completely alone in what was our universe… so he seeks out another where he’ll try to atone for the sins of his mysterious creation. From the inventive minds of D.J. Kirkbride (Amelia Cole, Never Ending) and Vassilis Gogtzilas (Augusta Wind) comes a sprawling space-epic of multi-dimensional proportions.[/quote]

[quote=« Kirkbride »]THE BIGGER BANG can be read as a really cool superhero story (thanks for calling it that), but, yes, we were trying to say more. A lot of times with me, as a writer, it all comes from my gut, and I don’t try to intellectualize it as it’s happening. While Cosmos and Thulu aren’t representatives of any specific organizations, they are broadly archetypes. They’re incredibly powerful polar opposites. Day and night. Light and dark. And Wyan, though a very extreme character in many ways, is the one in the middle – a gray area that could go either way.
Power itself is neither good nor evil, it’s what one does with it that can be judged. In the end, what I really wanted to come through in this crazy, goofy space opera is that it’s not about the past or origins, it’s about what one chooses to do with the present looking toward the future that counts.[/quote]
