The Drifter #1 Is Out Now

The Drifter #1 is out. After a long stretch of writing, art, lettering and print proofs, the first issue from Maxium Comix exists as a physical object you can hold.

What the book is

Twenty years ago, a man in the dark tore a boy's sister from his arms and left him alone in the snow. He never forgot that face. Now the boy is grown, goes by the Drifter, and on a frozen stretch of Highway 11 the hunt that has consumed his life finally catches up with the men who took her.

It's a noir revenge story, and it does not end where you expect a revenge story to end. The hardest thing the Drifter learns is what it actually costs to stop becoming the thing he's hunting.

Three editions

  • Standard Cover — the first-edition cover A.
  • Night Ops Cover — the limited variant.
  • Standard Cover, Signed — hand-signed.

There's also a separate signed variant poster limited to 50 copies, and a bundle if you want both.

Why physical

Maxium Comix publishes printed editions only. Comics were designed as objects — paper stock, trim size, the way a page turn lands. That's the version we wanted to make.
