Culverton has social media superhero superstars, there's a market that trades in superhero futures, and superhero stans/chasers. Culverton also has the EFL, the Emergent Fighting League, a professional wrestling-like enterprise except with super-powered combatants who use their powers to fight one another instead of traditional crime-fighting.

InterPop likes to say its universe has all the best parts of superhero comics which are featured in Emergents Presents, an anthology title featuring its roster of characters. And as we say, its readers have a say in what characters from the series get featured in solo titles. 

InterPop readers' first choice is the red-cloaked The Abyss, who will star in The Abyss #1, the first solo title to … well, emerge from Emergents Presents.

Written by John Rozum, illustrated by Cliff Richards, colored by Chris Sotomayor, and lettered by Carlos Mangual, with variant covers by Lucas Meyer and Jason Masters, The Abyss #1 will be available for purchase at interpopcomics.com on May 25 and then will be free to read on June 1.
