NEW SERIES PRIMER: PREVIOUSLY ON INDIGO PRIME!
Run by Clive Vista and Major Arcana, Indigo Prime is a company that manages the multiverse, its teams of Imagineers, Seamsters, Glancers, Sceneshifters and more – all recuited post-death – responsible for the infinite number of parallel realities. Danny Redman – an ex-squaddie, who recently joined the company – was partnered with caveman Unthur Dak, and tasked with giving dying Nazi Viktor Schröder a last tour through history. However, upon witnessing the Crucifixion, Schröder set his guides up and replaced Christ with the Christhulhu, thereby causing a massive disturbance in space/time that immediately sent all of IP’s Imagineers into toxic psychic shock, including Redman.
To pull them out, operatives Dak, James Jinks, William Burroughs and Dr Hawley Crippen were sent into the psychosphere, wading through their haunted unconscious minds, aided by witch-boy Revere to save Redman from supervillain The Nihilist, who had taken up residence in Redman’s head. Meanwhile, it’s revealed that Arcana was double-crossing Schröder to bring the Lanzer Corporation and the Atheist Terrorist League into the open, who were seeking access to IP’s data-core while building monsters for the highest bidder.
Vista shut down the ATL’s attack, while Redman – who discovers that he’s been meme-wiped by Arcana and exploited – and the others violently wake up, causing all manner of strange side-effects. The IP HQ starts to come apart from the strain, and other entities have fixed their sights on it. Time to abandon ship, and Doc Cotton is heading for operative Jerry Foundation’s recently removed universe skin as an escape route…
