Can Hezzy balance their new predicament with rent, hookups and dead-end jobs? Or will they lose what little footing they have as their grip on reality gets looser and looser?

Brackish, 11 pages - Published by Metal Ninja Studios, (cc/ @Joel-Rodriguez)
Deep in the southern swamplands of Florida, a gripping tale is about to surface from the murky waters below. Jonathan Hedrick, acclaimed comic book creator and writer of hit comics such as The Recount, Quicksand, and Dream Master, is set to unleash Brackish upon the comics community—an enthralling, narrative that breaks the truce between two feuding families and, once more, threatens to stain the swamp with the blood of generations. This series promises to reawaken buried secrets, open old scars, and inflict fresh wounds as both violence and romance erupt within these dangerous waters.
