    "It's the celebrity wedding of the century, set in an undisclosed, remote location, with no access to wifi, cell phone reception or the outside world. But the dream wedding becomes a nightmare when, one by one, the guests are brutally slaugh-tered by a serial killer who brands his victims with a hashtag. BAD RECEPTION is a searing horror story that doubles as a topical, satirical critique on society's obsession with technology, social media and the cult of celebrity. Written and drawn by AfterShock's very own Juan Doe (DARK ARK, AMERICAN MON-STER, WORLD READER)!"

    "The toast has been made and the cake has been cut. The most intimate wedding reception of the century has started, and all the guests are suffering a bad case of nomophobia (a.k.a. 'no-mobile-phone phobia'). But things get real in a hurry when the mysterious killer sets off a frenzy that drives the re-maining guests into a world of unknown primal fear. Now they must learn to de-pend on each other if they are to survive the hunt.

The more followers you have, the bigger the target on your back. Now, the killer dubbed 'Hashtag' isn't the only predator - in order to survive, your fellow guest may turn out to be just as dangerous.
