Outside Infinity

January 15th, 2010
Posted By: Shaenon K. Garrity

I’m very pleased to announce a new addition to Modern Tales: Outside Infinity by John Barber. In John’s words, “it’s the sort-of true story of a guy who discovers the mathematical proof of the existence of black holes…while dying on of an incurable disease on the losing side of Russian front in World War I.”

John’s previous webcomic, the Flash-based superhero deconstruction Vicious Souvenirs, was part of the launch lineup on Modern Tales back in the day. After that, he worked as an editor at Marvel Comics. It’s an enormous pleasure to have him back on Modern Tales and drawing comics of his own again.

Read Outside Infinity from the beginning!

TBP has been part of Modern Tales from the very start, and I’ll miss it like crazy. Thanks, Bryant, for all those years of great comics, and best of luck in 2010!
