On January 8, AHOY Comics will publish ARCHAIC #2, the second issue of the modern-day action-adventure which follows the newest residents of a sentient island populated by the gods and monsters of dead civilizations: a harried single mom and her three kids. From writer Melissa F. Olson (Project: Cryptid, Dead Spots), artist Sally Cantirino (I Walk With Monsters), and colorist Gab Contreras (Witchblood), the fast-paced mystery explores what happens to legends once the world no longer has use for them. ARCHAIC #2 will feature a main cover by Cantirino, as well as a variant cover from Mauricet.
