UFO'S... A Movie Set Murder Mystery... and A Love Triangle!
Maverick celebrates the release of Richard Ashley Hamilton's SCOOP VOLUME III: #Sci-FiWitness. With incredible new art by Pablo Andrés and massively fun twists & turns in the journey of high school journalist Sophie Cooper.
While visiting Cuba with her mom, Sophie is haunted by visions that reveal past mysteries — and point to future troubles, like Milo witnessing a murder on a Miami movie set and Usnavy investigating strange creature sightings. The only way Soph can save them in time? By unearthing a crashed UFO!
After getting blasted by alien energy, Sophie takes a break from reality on a girls’ trip with her mom in Cuba. Their plan is to reconnect and retrace their family history — until eerie visions “show” Sophie the fateful crash of a UFO in 1960 that has major ramifications on her life. And just as she wraps her head around that, she glimpses a premonition of her friend, Milo, getting shot.
Desperate to save him, Soph comes clean about her extraterrestrial extracurricular activities — only for the Cuban Army to arrest her. Apparently, they aren’t too fond of American reporters on their soil. What follows is an eye-opening visit from a mad scientist, a jailbreak of intergalactic proportions, and a touching heart-to-heart between Soph and her mom that leaves both women feeling newfound appreciation — and awe — for each other.
SCOOP: Sci-Fi Witness represents Sophie’s most exciting and most emotional investigation yet in which she solves a twisty murder mystery that is once again torn from the headlines. The only way for her to survive is by focusing on the facts, trusting her instincts, and finally being honest about her feelings for Usnavy and Milo.
“Sometimes, the third volume in a series can feel like a “middle child” that gets overlooked, so the entire SCOOP troop worked extra hard to make #Sci-FiWitness the biggest — yet most emotional — case for Sophie Cooper yet,” Richard Hamilton said. “Even though this story starts in Cuba, it hits extremely close to home, uncovering new supernatural secrets, new abilities for our teen reporter, and new clues from her family’s past that immediately impact their future. Plus, we’ve got drivers ed for UFOs, a movie set murder mystery, and Sophie trying to square the circle on her love triangle!
But perhaps the most jaw-dropping revelation is the crackling creative collaboration between Pablo, Simon, Dave, and Inaki. Volume 3 marks the first time these guys all started working together as a team from page one, panel one. Their collective artistry shines throughout, thanks to the grace and guidance of our editor, Christina.
SCOOP #Sci-FiWitness comes from the heart. And, if we did our jobs right, it’s gonna go after your heart — and not let go!”
The book is available for preorder now wherever books are sold, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop.
