SR: Yeah, well, I think they’re connected. I think it’s perfect that you mention an interest in Russian and sci-fi, because I was going to actually bring that up as two of the most prevalent things I noticed in your work, with this fascination with cosmonauts and all of the stories being pretty science fiction-y. And, yeah, then I drew “Jan’s Atomic Heart” during my first year there and… that kind of started the ball rolling. So, ok, maybe I’ll go to art school, and I’ll go to art school and see what I can do from there. These look terrible!” So that kind of pushed me. I was also looking at a bunch of new releases of comics at the time, and I kept on finding these… like, the worst science fiction trash, and I was like, “Man, I could do better than this. Then, after a couple of years in university studying Russian, I was looking at the stuff I was working on for my own pleasure and kind of thinking about possible career paths with the degree I was pursuing. I read a lot of comics when I was a kid, like “Asterix” and “Tintin” and “Archie” - lots of “Archie” - and then I drew comics just for fun a lot in high school. I think it’s the same story, but I don’t know. The thing, too, with being a human with a fallible memory, I don’t know how consistent I am with this story. Simon Roy: Oh yeah, the classic “why comics.” It’s a good question. So I’m going to start with my staple conversation question and we can move on from there, but the first thing I usually like to ask people the first time I interview them is: why comics? We’ll have an advance review of his book later today on the site as well as a chat with Ed Brisson about “The Field,” but for now, read on as we chat with Simon about coming up in comics, his work on “Prophet,” “Jan” and more. And you can expect a lot of great things from him in 2014. Simon’s keeping busy, is what I’m trying to say. Not only that, but in April, Roy is launching a new mini-series entitled “The Field” with writer Ed Brisson, in which an amnesiac wakes up naked in a field and immediately finds himself on a wild and unpredictable ride.

However, in late March, Simon Roy is bringing an anthology of his own to Image entitled “Jan’s Atomic Heart and Other Stories.” Full of stories that he did up to 2011, it’s a fantastic anthology full of interesting shorts and stories that showcase Simon’s various talent and interests. The camera then rotates, showing a large group of tiny ballerina mannequins before focusing on one enormous one.If I said the name Simon Roy to you, chances are that if you’re a fan of this site and the things we like you’ll think of the comic “Prophet.” Re-launched in 2011 as part of the Extreme Studios revival at Image with Brandon Graham, Roy was the artist initially attached to the revitalization before the book opened up to the anthology it has since become - though Roy remains one of our favorite artists to grace the pages of that book. One, with its head split open has green leaves flapping along with a displaced tongue, its guts pouring out of its shirt.

Of course, his reflection is spot on, as are the strange creatures walking on the pathway above him.

He’s wielding a melee weapon that we’ve seen before, one with two sawblades at its head. The latest trailer has Soviet agent and player character P-3 staring into a mirror. In many ways, Atomic Heart seems to have been part of Nvidia’s process of developing and marketing RTX. Another trailer from 2018 also shows off the game with RTX on, well before ray tracing was common in gaming or even possible on consoles. An RTX demo from CES 2019 showed off ray tracing in Atomic Heart.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the game with ray tracing, either. With RTX on, Atomic Heart looks simply spectacular. However, it’s impossible to ignore some of the striking imagery in the trailer and not link it back to past trailers. Instead, it’s a tech trailer, highlighting the game’s looks when Atomic Heart is running with ray tracing (as brought to you by Nvidia).

Another trailer has released for Atomic Heart, but this time, there are not as many glimpses into the strange Soviet base.
