Silicon Bandits #1
New original comics series from Jason Starr and Dalibor Talajić (previously collaborated on TV-optioned Casual Fling), coming from Magma Comix on April 10th!
In 2089, in the aftermath of the most recent world war, the former United States is controlled by four trillionaires, and artificial intelligence has taken over most jobs. Kenji Sato and Aurora Withers are among the lucky ones—employed by a prestigious robotics company. But when they’re terminated too, replaced by the very androids they created, the couple hatches the ultimate revenge plan.
Each issue features covers by Dalibor Talajić and variant covers by Goran Parlov (The Punisher). In addition, there will be incentive covers from Mike Deodato, Roland Boschi, Sean Phillips, and Dani!
Colors by Stjepan Bartolic, letters by Shawn Lee.
“Silicon Bandits #1 captures the current moment of A.I.” - Graphic Policy
“A painfully relevant and hugely gripping caper in equal measure.” - AIPT Comics
“The timeliness of a book focusing on the ethical concerns surrounding artificial intelligence is hard to understate, but Starr manages to explore these themes without going too heavily-handed into the “right or wrong” argument…Describing your comic as ‘Blade Runner’ meets Oceans Eleven’ is almost setting your readers up to be disappointed, but I’m happy to report that Starr, Talajić and the rest of the creative team absolutely nail that lofty claim.” - Big Comic Page
“I can’t express enough how much I love each and every panel they created.” - Chris’s Comics Corner
“Jason Starr’s premise, accompanied by the incredible graphic and narrative work of Dalibor Talajic and the colors of Stjepan Bartolic make this Silicon Bandits a book that you can’t miss, a future world so feasible that it’s scary.” - Alex Cal Oliveira (ACO)
“Jason Starr's smooth scripting eases you into this absorbing, post-World-War-Five crime thriller, and Dalibor Talajic's androids are as expressive as his humans." - Stuart Moore

The Next Time I Die
Jason Starr’s paranoid new thriller, in the mind-bending tradition of Philip K. Dick and The Twilight Zone, published by Hard Case Crime. On-sale now at all bookstores (see below).
THE NEXT TIME I DIE will draw you into its claustrophobic web of suspense and leave you questioning everything you think you know.
"I really don’t know how Jason Starr does it: I start out thinking I’m only going to read a chapter and an hour later I’m on page eighty.” - Bret Easton Ellis
“So fresh and clever and compelling. I don’t know when I last turned pages so quickly.” - Ian Rankin
"THE NEXT TIME I DIE is a paranoid noir freakout playing its own one-of-a-kind game... and a shameless page-turner." - Joe Hill
“Completely enthralling. THE NEXT TIME I DIE is sharp, super-suspenseful and impossible to put down.” -Alison Gaylin
"An audacious mindbender of a novel. A high-octane cocktail of infidelity, murder and alternate realities, served up straight from the Twilight Zone." - Wallace Stroby
“Beautifully and perfectly crafted. Halfway between Christopher Nolan's Memento and a story by Philip K. Dick.” - Matteo Strukul
“A verifiable page turner with bona fide twists.” - Previews World
“As in the best noir, Starr ups the ante.” - Publishers Weekly
”It's officially time for fans of hard and heady science fiction to add a new book onto their radar.” - Screen Rant
"With The Next Time I Die, Jason Starr has taken a next level leap... It's like Philip K. Dick is still with us and has just written a new, brain-frying work of New York noir." - Brian Greene, Criminal Element
"Swift-moving and entrancing" - Locus
