EMPTY ZONE comic book

About the Author: Jason Shawn Alexander

Jason Shawn Alexander

Alexander’s career started when his self-published illustrations caught the attention of mainstream and independent comic book publishers.  Alexander worked for years as a draftsman for Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, and Oni Press.

Jason Shawn Alexander’s work often explores the darker side of life. The subject is suspended in moments of pain or sorrow. The ultimate expression, however, is one of survival, if not hope.
Alexander, from Tennessee, now resides in Hollywood, California. He began painting seriously in 2002 and has had no formal training. Since then, his work has been exhibited in galleries in Los Angeles, Memphis, and Savannah.
He has participated in various teaching workshops, art forums, and has received a Silver Medal from the Society of Illustrators-West and two Eisner Award nominations for his illustrative work.
It has yet to be verified that he made a deal with the devil.

Continuing from where “Hopeless Beginnings” left off, the highly-anticipated “Conversations with the Dead” series revisits Corinne’s early history, forcing the rebellious mercenary to confront some leftover menaces from her past.

Pitch

Since her mission to save Jonathan, the techno-psychic child, Corinne’s mind has been plagued with memories of her dead lover and comrades.

Empty zone: under dead television skies

“Under Dead Television Skies,” the groundbreaking miniseries published in 1997, was Jason Alexander’s first work for Sirius Entertainment, and relates the final adventure of its heroine, Corinne. Each issue features a cover by Dark One, the creator of ANIMAL MYSTIC.

Pitch

Past and future collide for Corinne in “Under Dead Television Skies!” Bounty hunters and automated death squads track the beautiful mercenary through the dark, cyberpunk world of the future. Their onslaught triggers violent memory backlashes for Corinne, and she relives the unspeakable evils she committed years before. Who is the mysterious man hunting her, and what role does he play in her creation?

2014 – Corinne White is back!

Empty Zone – corinne

Pitch

Corinne White is waiting. Waiting for the next drink, the next fight, the next job (which typically includes both). Waiting for something to change, waiting to die.

Set in the 58th ward of lower Pittsburgh in 2119, former military spy and only surviving member of her team, Corinne exists merely to exist. Working for an independent contractor, Corinne jumps from job to job as a body guard, private investigator, and data specialist. With billions of microscopic implants in the pores of her skin, military enhancements, years worth of government combat training, and one ugly cybernetic arm (kept for reasons known only to her), there are none better at what she does. But that’s small consolation on the day her past mistakes catch up to her. Through a series of orchestrated events, Corinne is startled to be reunited with the squad she left almost a decade ago. The problem is they’re dead….or undead.

EMPTY ZONE is the heart wrenching ghost story of a woman confronted by her complicated past, and forced to choose between redemption or damnation. Set in the future of a visually rich, fragmented world of corrupt privatized governments, amidst everything from street gangs modified with deadly animalistic implants, to reanimated corpses stalking the streets like remote controlled toys, EMPTY ZONE’s world is grimly ethereal and haunting.
