Image Comics Travels Through Time And Space With New Series ‘Assorted Crisis Events’

by Olly MacNamee

Writer Deniz Camp, artist Eric Zawadzki, colourist Jordie Bellaire, and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou are teaming up for the new time and space-twisting sci-fi series Assorted Crisis Events from Image Comics.

“In Assorted Crisis Events, time is having a crisis. Mingling in the red-light district, you can find actual cavemen, medieval knights, and cyborg soldiers on leave from World War IV. Victorian debutantes amble their way into cell phone stores, confused and bewildered (what is a data plan?). On their way to work, bleary-eyed commuters get trapped in time-loops, assaulted by alternate-reality versions of themselves, and try to avoid post-apocalyptic wastelands. And look: the 3:15 bus just took a wrong turn…into the neolithic era. Rising stars Camp and Zawadzki, and Eisner-winners Bellaire and Otsmane-Elhaou, are proud to present Assorted Crisis Events, an ongoing, zig-zagging anthology series about the compromised clicks of our clocks—full of one-shot stories both beautiful and ugly, tragic and redemptive, surreal and somehow all too familiar. Stories of people (and reality) in crisis—trying to keep it together while the world is falling apart, second by twisted second…”

As well as a synopsis and preview, Camp states:

Assorted Crisis Events is like Crisis on Infinite Earths if it was happening to normal, everyday people, or Black Mirror, if the fabric of space and time were breaking down. But going deeper, Assorted Crisis Events has been one of the most ambitious and rewarding creative experiences of my life. The challenge of making every issue complete and personal and inventive, while playing out the larger story of the Crisis — what is causing it, can it be solved, who is The Broken Man? — across the series has been thrilling! Every member of the creative team adds so much to every issue—no one is just doing a job, they’re all artists in the truest sense, and I think every issue ranks among some of the best I’ve ever been a part of. If you’ve liked anything I’ve ever written before, please pick this up. You will not be disappointed.”

Zawadzki added:

“This comic has been a dream project from the start. Deniz’s ambitions with pushing the boundaries of the medium of comics match my own. Every script is a new challenge for me and it’s resulted in the proudest work of my career. I can’t believe my luck, being able to work with one of the best colourists and one of the best letterers in the comics industry, Jordie and Hassan, both of whom won the Eisner award for their respective crafts in 2024.”

Assorted Crisis Events #1 is out on Wednesday, March 12th, 2025 from Image Comics.
