The accompanying synopsis describes the comic book as “equal parts Lord of the Flies and The Warriors.”“Every kid has the same story.
Wash up on shore. Enter the amusement park. Get superpowers… Follow the newest member of the Wunderlosts, a band of misfit teenage raiders, on a journey to discover the truth about the park,” the blurb reads.In a recent interview with Comic Book Resources, Staples described Limbo Beach as a coming-of-age tale, and cited his nephew as one of the inspirations.“We wanted to do a story about maturity, growing up, and some of the things that kids have to deal with, all based in a unique environment,” Staples said, “[My nephew] is in a heavy comic book phase right now and put me onto Batman and a lot of manga and anime.”The new title adds to Z2 Comics’ largely musical catalogue, with the publication having previously collaborated with the likes of Machine Gun Kelly for ‘Hotel Diablo’, and Yungblud for ‘Weird Times at Quarry Bank University’, among others.
