Synopsis "The Midnight: Shadows"

Join THE MIDNIGHT, one of the world's top synthwave bands, comprised of Tyler Lyle and Tim McEwan, on an electrifying and original sci-fi graphic novel adventure inspired by the poetic storytelling and the neon-soaked aesthetics of their music. Jason has spent his life running from his problems, but now he and his childhood sweetheart are on the precipice of parenthood, and he's struggling with the loss of his adolescence. Then he re-discovers his favorite old video game, THE MIDNIGHT, a nostalgic 1980s fantasy adventure about a helmeted hero who travels to a cyberpunk world to save the people from eternal darkness. Seeking to repair his broken game, Jason ends up at a mysterious arcade in an abandoned 1980s mall, where he plays the old arcade game of The Midnight and suddenly he's transported to... ...a post-apocalyptic Neverland in the year 2085. A world of perpetual night where time stands still. A final bastion of humanity in a glistening futuristic city. And a shocking reveal - they know him as the hero who once vanquished the shadow monsters, and they believe he's returned to his true reality to do it again. More surprising, his wife is here, but only with a memory of Jason as this world's hero. As this lost boy tries to embrace his new hero powers, with the help of his true love and her cyberpunk warriors, he must face the responsibility of protecting an entire world from danger and discover which world he truly belongs to. For The Midnight fans and newcomers, created by rising comics writer, Zack Kaplan (Break Out, Mindset), artist Stephen Thompson (Star Trek, Batman Beyond), artist Jahnoy Lindsay (Superboy) and The Midnight, follow your dreams to a visually stunning cyberpunk metropolis, find love in the darkness, defeat shadow monsters and explore what happens when we hide in our fantasies. Are we escaping life's monsters or simply escaping ourselves? The answers lie in the Midnight Graphic Novel.

Elisabetta D’Amico es una ilustradora italiana reconocida por su estilo delicado y la sensibilidad poética que impregna cada una de sus obras. Nacida en Bari en 1992, creció rodeada de tradiciones mediterráneas, colores intensos y relatos familiares que marcaron su relación temprana con la imagen y la narración. Desde niña encontró en el dibujo una forma de observar y reinterpretar el mundo, especialmente la vida cotidiana y los vínculos emocionales.

Estudió Ilustración y Comunicación Visual en la Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze, donde desarrolló una técnica híbrida que combina acuarela, grafito y procesos digitales. Su trabajo se distingue por la suavidad de sus trazos, la atención al detalle y el uso de metáforas visuales que conectan lo íntimo con lo universal. Tras graduarse, D’Amico comenzó a colaborar con editoriales europeas en proyectos de literatura infantil, portadas de novelas y colecciones de poesía ilustrada.

Con el tiempo, su obra ha sido expuesta en ferias internacionales de arte y ha recibido menciones por su capacidad para transmitir emociones con economía de elementos. Además de su labor como ilustradora, Elisabetta imparte talleres sobre creatividad consciente, donde anima a jóvenes artistas a explorar la relación entre identidad, memoria y expresión visual.
