Synopsis: Sam Safdie and his intrepid group of treasure hunters set out to uncover the secrets that lie within the massive Nazi complex built underneath the Owl Mountains… Project Riese. Though they’re hoping to find a fortune in missing gold, but the truth of the complex is much more complex. At their backs is an awful German Archeologist known only as The Baron who will stop at nothing to steal the secrets of Project Riese for himself. But little do either of them know – the complex houses strange secrets that skirt the edges of known science. Secrets that are dying to escape the abandoned facility…. Project Riese is an action-packed adventure/sci-fi tale perfect for fans of Uncharted, Overlord, and The Keep.

“Project Riese is an adventure story that harkens back to the heyday of weird pulp stories. Featuring a cast of characters and sights that feel pulled from the pages of old pulp serials. It’s a weird war story where our POV characters aren’t soldiers or secret agents, but ostensibly normal people caught up in strange circumstances. They’re not looking for glory… but they are looking for a fortune. When Mad Cave approached me for this series, I just couldn’t resist the opportunity to create something with modern themes in this space. If you love the Indiana Jones series, Bioshock, or the most recent Wolfenstein games – you should really dig Project Riese!”
-Author, Zac Thompson

“Project: Riese combines just about all the things I like to watch and read about in my fiction. I hope folks have as much fun reading it as I had drawing it.” – Artist, Jeff Mccomsey

“Zac and Jeff have created a classic WWII-era adventure comic that’s equal parts Where Eagles Dare, Indiana Jones and Hellboy, and I’m excited to help bring their adventure to life!”
-Colorist, Paul Little
