May 13, 2026From start to finish, Williams crafted a genuinely great start to a so far light-hearted horror ride! A true page turner that’s sure to please anyone missing the era of “E.T.” to “Iron Giant.” The writing is coupled only by the great art and colors from Vendrell and Sastre! Read Full Review

Plot
A guided tour of a retirement home for Hollywood celebrities takes a turn for the worse when the elderly residents—Brock (a retired film and TV actor), Loretta (an award-winning director), Tyrone (a recovering alcoholic comedian), CeeCee (a model and sex symbol), Bazza (a singer and former frontman of a heavy metal band), and Bob (whose whereabouts are unknown)—lose sight of nurse Lucy and driver Matt. All of these characters are based on real Hollywood celebrities.
These six septuagenarians have very distinct personalities and live with the burden of their illnesses and age-related limitations, but they are all taken by surprise when something falls from the sky and crashes very close to them.
