JOHN CARPENTERS TALES SCIFI VORTEX 2 (2020)

"More than 20 years after the Benson Station disaster, an unauthorized rescue mission brings the survivors together again. Now some 5,500 light years from home, a familiar evil is rising... with a score to settle. Writer Mike Sizemore (Vortex, Tales for A Halloweenight) and the art team of brothers Dave Kennedy and Pete Kennedy, return to bring you Vortex 2.0 #1 (of 8), the seventh story in John Carpenter's monthly anthology series, Tales of Science Fiction!"

"Out in the Cat's Paw Nebula something evil is unfurling aboard the Barringer Habitat. Jake Dixon is back, but has he brought back with him the very thing he tried to destroy? As the body count begins to rise, more faces from the past, both dead and alive, begin to appear as an investigation begins but is it already too late?"

"Something is killing its way through the Barringer Habitat and Jake Dixon is the prime suspect. Now on the run with old ship mate, Anna Cheron, he's fallen in with a gang that operate outside the law. As something alien once more unfurls it's tendrils towards humanity Dixon is offered a new mission perhaps even more deadly than the last."

"As the horror jumps from the Barringer Habitat to the far flung reaches of Menemsha Bite, the stakes are raised and incredible risks are taken. Jake Dixon and his team struggle to stay one step ahead of the law with an audacious plan to track down the source of the terror slowly unfurling and Dixon finally comes face to face with his past. "

"Things are unravelling fast on quarantined Menemsha Bite. Once a pleasure planet, it is now a dead world - well, almost dead, as Dixon and his team are discovering. With crack pilot Faye Munro closing in, and former detective Magnusson's investigation leading him back to the Benson disaster, the stakes and terror continue to increase. Writer Mike Sizemore (JC'S TALES OF SCIENCE FICTION: VORTEX, JC'S TALES FOR A HALLOWEENIGHT) and the art team of brothers Dave Kennedy and Pete Kennedy, return to bring you VORTEX 2.0 #5 (of 8), the SEVENTH story in John Carpenter's monthly anthology series Tales of Science Fiction. "

"Quarantined Menemsha Bite is giving up its secrets and more as Dixon and his team delve deeper into the structure. Terrible creatures stand in their way and not everyone is going to make it out of there in one piece. Vortex careens its way back to the Barringer Habitat in this explosive installment."

With the horror of Menemsha Bite behind them, Dixon and what's left of the team return to a very different Barringer Habitat than the one they left. Following another appearance by the long dead Willow Sinclair a search for survivors turns into a fight for survival as the Vortex begins to turn faster.

The Barringer Habitat is lost with almost all hands, but the survivors still have much to fear from the dead. A final reckoning is coming for Dixon and the monstrous creature found in the depths of that ancient asteroid. But will his team be able to save anyone - or even themselves - before the Vortex closes forever?
