About<\/b> Witness Point<\/i><\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

Welcome to Baraboo, Wisconsin, a friendly town full of cold beers and warm hearts\u2014heck, it\u2019s even the headquarters of the Ding-A-Ling Circus\u2014a place where everyone gets along . . .<\/p>\n

\"Witness<\/p>\n

At least, they did, until the naked, dismembered body of a US Marshal was found in the town square, revealing Baraboo\u2019s dark secret: It\u2019s the dumping ground for the Witness Protection Program. Turns out, for the past forty years, every criminal, con man, and killer who flipped on their pals has been relocated to \u201cWitness Point.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, the long-suffering local sheriff, Carter \u201cKite\u201d Calhoon, and a contentious deputy marshal, Priya Khabrani, are forced together to solve the murder only days before the<\/p>\n

town\u2019s beloved Harvest Festival. Which won\u2019t be easy in the face of rising paranoia and tempers as everyone in Baraboo wonders just what kind of lowlife they\u2019re living next to . . .<\/p>\n

\u201cHeath pulled me into his world with Witness Point<\/i>, and I immediately knew this was a story that would lend itself to a comic series. I\u2019m excited to be collaborating with the incredibly talented and celebrated artist Soo Lee, whose recent work on ThunderCats: Cheetara<\/i>, The Wizard of Oz<\/i>, and Disney Villians: Maleficient<\/i> is nothing short of extraordinary,\u201d praised Fillion. \u201cWorking with Soo, alongside my partners at Collision33 \u2014 Michelle Chapman and Josh Levy \u2014 and the team at Dark Horse Entertainment to bring this engaging story to life has been a thrill. I love this project and can\u2019t wait for readers to experience it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNathan is an intuitive storyteller who imbues every medium he works in with his quick wit, iconic characters, and bottomless humanity,\u201d said Corson. \u201cI feel like we’ve managed to siphon a decent amount of it into WITNESS POINT.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lee added, \u201cWitness Point<\/i> isn’t your typical crime story that you think it is, so I wanted it to reflect that in the art as well. The setting is unusual with unusual suspects and characters, in all sense of the word so I wanted the colors and visuals to match that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Witness Point<\/i><\/b> #1<\/b> (of 4) arrives in comic shops on July 8, 2026. It is now available for preorder from your local comic shop<\/a> for $4.99.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
