Spill Zone #1

In the aftermath of a mysterious catastrophe that sealed off Poughkeepsie, New York, teenaged Addison survives by venturing into the forbidden zone to photograph its eerie, transformed landscape—selling the images as art to an unseen buyer. Her quiet sister Lexa insists on bringing along their worn rag doll, Vestpertine, on every trip. When a North Korean official reaches out through the buyer, the connection hints at a pattern beyond the disaster’s borders—something that may not be as isolated as anyone thought.

In "2" from Spill Zone #1, Addison navigates the dangerous underground art trade in a world scarred by radiation, until a mysterious offer from Mrs. Vandersloot upends her life—promising a fortune to retrieve a dangerous substance from the abandoned Poughkeepsie hospital. Meanwhile, Lexa’s silent bond with her rag doll Vespertine deepens, the doll’s unsettling presence both a shield and a mystery, silently guiding and watching as the lines between ally and threat blur.

In "3" from Spill Zone #1, Don Jae—survivor of the Korean Zone—arrives in New York with the uncanny ability to levitate, drawing attention to himself in a world still reeling from the Zone’s lingering fallout. As Lexa finally speaks, urged on by Vespertine, she tells Addie to enter the Zone, a decision that tests Addie’s resolve when she refuses to make the journey, unaware of Vespertine’s true presence. When Wiley arrives at the house and senses Addie’s departure, the stakes shift—just as Addie retrieves the radioactive material, her senses sharpen and awaken forces long buried, unleashing new dangers that begin to spill beyond the Zone’s borders.
