Pushing forward into a new frontier is always dangerous, but when you’re almost 1500 light years from home and something goes wrong its all to easy for everything to spiral out of control unless tough, often impossible, decisions are made. Connected via a a series of Gates that allow navigation through an endless void of vacuum, Space Station Benson sits in the Veil Nebula supporting a series of mining asteroids that collect the ore needed for the next outward expansion. A team nearing the end of their mission on one of these asteroids has gone suddenly silent after triggering a distress beacon. The station’s commander deploys a rescue mission lead by Jake Dixon - a man with a reputation as a hero or perhaps a murderer after a previous rescue mission lost a ship, but saved the station. What Jake finds on the asteroid will threaten not only his team and the hundreds of lives on Benson but perhaps threaten Earth itself.

Mike Sizemore grew up reading everything he could as a way to escape his dreary surroundings in the rain drenched 70s of Northern England. A weekly injection of 2000AD and an inherited love of Westerns set him on a path that lead to a Masters Degree in Literature and a life-long attachment to genre fiction and movies. His habit of throwing crazy ideas together eventually took him to Hollywood, and since then he has become an award-winning creator and WGA writer known for acclaimed web series, short stories, short films and comic books. Becoming friends with John Carpenter and Sandy King and being allowed to play in the Storm King Comics universe has been a dream come true. Working now with old school buddy, Dave Kennedy, and his equally talented brother, Pete Kennedy, and having his ideas brought to life by comic legends Janice Chiang and Tim Bradstreet is a pure delight. When he's not up all night thinking of new ways for robots, spaceships, monsters and planets to explode he's hanging with his long-suffering partner, Jess, and his very favourite creations, Connor and Jaime.

Dave Kennedy is a comic artist and illustrator based in the small town of Wigan in the north of England. His first memory was watching his grandfather draw a brontosaurus. This impressed him so much, he has spent his life trying to learn as much as he can about creating art. After many years working in the graphic design and games industries, Dave made the leap into comics and hasn't looked back - in no small part due to the pure joy of working with his insanely talented friend Mike Sizemore, but also due to having the opportunity to create with a lifelong hero of his - John Carpenter. With a passion for comics, cinema, books and games, Dave has stepped up to the plate to represent the Carpenter brand in the pages of the Storm King Comics titles Vortex, Vortex 2.0 and Tales For a HalloweeNight. He works alongside his supremely talented brother Pete, the crowned Queen of comic lettering, Janice Chiang and the incredibly supportive and motivated Sandy King Carpenter. Dave works in his home, amidst the love of his wife Tomomi and the chaos of his son Ren.

Pete Kennedy must have fallen in love with stories before his earliest memories were formed, because there isn't a time he can remember where he wasn't hearing, reading, or watching them- and loving the experience. So he decided he'd like to help make some. With a great deal of support from his family he took a very serpentine path through life, which allowed him to explore his interests in Animation, Film, Writing, Comedy, Puppetry, and Improvisation. Lately he has had the privilege of working alongside his brother Dave and writer Mike Sizemore in the world of comic books (and on the web series 'Caper') before gaining the honour of working under the multimedia-umbrella of master storytellers John and Sandy Carpenter on several titles for Storm King Comics. Living in the town of Wigan in England's soggy but spirited Northwest, and swimming in a Scrooge-McDuck-amount of comics, films, Nerf, and LEGO, he is lucky enough to spend his non-work time with family and friends, playing games for all ages, performing shows with Casino Improv, and talking too much about the movie Tremors.
