Comic Summary: The Boston Comics Roundtable, in partnership with River Bird Studios, is pleased to announce the release of the second issue of Outbound, a Science Fiction anthology. Outbound is a spin-off of sister publication Inbound, the anthology of comics from Boston. Outbound contains comics and short stories from a mix of Boston-based creators and artists all over the world, from Australia to South America, including a new cover from talented Uruguayan artist Marcello Buchelli. This issue introduces the new, perfect-bound, bookshelf-friendly format for Outbound. After such a great reception to the first issue, the Outbound team decided to up the ante, increasing the page count to 120 pages!
