Image Update; THE POWER AND THE GLORY

26/3/2014

Comments

 

A female superhero for a new age in a deluxe hardcover edition

Picture
Glory is a force of the supernatural — half Amazon, half demon, she wields fearsome power in the service of what she hopes is right. After her heroics in World War II, she became a symbol of hope and justice, inspiring old and young around the world. And then she disappeared.

The April hardcover graphic novel from Image Comics GLORY: The Complete Saga by Joe Keatinge (HELL YEAH, Morbius: The Living Vampire) and Ross Campbell (Wet Moon, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) tells the complete story of a young woman’s quest to find Glory and bring her back into a world that needs her. But what Riley doesn’t anticipate is that the global conspiracy that has kept Glory hidden for decades could make Glory’s re-emergence more dangerous than anything else the world has known.

Widely praised for being grounded in relationships even as the conflict stretches far beyond the realm of earthly reality and for Campbell’s revolutionary character design, GLORY presented a new and wholly fresh vision of the female superhero for the 21st century.

Created in 1995 by one of the Image Comics founders, Rob Liefeld, GLORY received a contemporary reimagining in 2012 with a new comic book series that ran for twelve issues. Those issues are now being collected into GLORY: The Complete Saga, a 352-page hardcover tome due in comic book stores on April 23 and bookstores on May 6. The deluxe oversized edition includes never-before-seen sketches, scripts, commentary, interviews, and a stunning wraparound cover with art by Campbell.

A necessity in any forward-looking superhero fan’s collection, GLORY: The Complete Saga is available for pre-order now.

“Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Rift, Part 1,”Hits #1 on the New York Times Best Sellers List

21/3/2014

Marks 5th Time Dark Horse Avatar Graphic Novels Claim the Top Spot

Picture
The Nickelodeon and Dark Horse graphic novel, “Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Rift, Part 1,” debuted at number one on the New York Times Best Sellers list for the week ending March 8, 2014.  Rising above The Walking Dead inspired book, “The Walking Dead Compendium,” this new graphic novel is the ultimate continuation of Avatar and the perfect companion to The Legend of Korra. 

This book was written and drawn by Gene Luen Yang and Gurihiru, in collaboration with Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra creators, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko.  This same creative team was behind the best-selling “The Promise” and “The Search,” which continue the adventures of Avatar Aang and his friends past the finale of the beloved television series.

In this installment of the on-going story, Aang asks his friends to help him honor an Air Nomad holiday that hasn't been celebrated in over one hundred years. But cryptic visits from the spirit of an earlier Avatar lead Aang to discover a jointly owned Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom refinery operating on land sacred to the Airbenders. Is this the cause of the pollution Aang finds there or is something more mysterious happening?

Past Avatar books to hit the number one spot include, “The Promise” Part 1, 2 and 3 and “The Search” Part 2.

THAT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE A ROBOT, A SCIENCE-FICTION WARNING

17/3/2014

Comments

 

Two cops. One's a robot. But they don't know which.

Picture
Coming from Image Comics this June, BAFTA winner and writer on HBO’s award winningVeep David Quantick teams up with legendary comics artist Shaky Kane (THE BULLETPROOF COFFIN) on the migraine-inducing Pop Art, Cop-Buddy one-shot THAT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE A ROBOT. 
 
Two cops patrol a near-future Los Angeles together in an oversized patrol car, and one of them is a robot—but we don’t know which! “Welcome to a world where identity is uncertain, the definition of humanity is open to question and there is an evil giant leprechaun who can fly,” said Quantick. “Welcome to That's Because You're a Robot.”
 
Kane further described the mix of styles in THAT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE A ROBOT. “Imagine 'Car 54 Where Are You?' channeled through Philip K Dick's cryogenically preserved brain, broadcast via the first Pye color television set with the color turned up to full retina burn,” said Kane. “If you did, you'd get something close to That's Because You're a Robot... but not that close.”
 
THAT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE A ROBOT arrives in stores on 6/11 and will be available for $3.99. It can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code APR140504.

Magical adventure awaits as legendary illustrator Michael Hague takes readers on a strange and fantastic journey in Eye of Newt.

"Michael has been one of the best known fantasy artists for decades. His work is rich and vibrant and perfect for the comics medium.” Said Dark Horse President Mike Richardson. “I have long been a fan of his and I can't express the excitement we feel here at Dark Horse at his first-ever graphic novel project."

Gorgeously illustrated in the classic fantasy style, Eye of Newt, a four-part miniseries, is a must for young readers and new fans.

When Newt, a young wizard’s apprentice, embarks on a wonderful and perilous quest, he encounters marvelous creatures of all shapes and sizes and learns a dark secret that could shape his entire destiny!

Praise for Michael Hague:

“A deliciously old-fashioned storybook, delivering just the sort of fantasy Hague is best known for. He pulls out all the stops for this one, using watercolors to present a diverse assortment of winged beasts.”--Publishers Weekly

“Glowing backgrounds and skies, in deep, rich palettes, mark them as Hague’s. For fans of the artist this is another must-have.”--Kirkus Reviews

Eye of Newt #1 is on sale in comic shops June 18. Preorder your copy at your local comics retailer today!

As the pop culture world gears up for Seattle’s Emerald City Comicon, Dark Horse announces not one, not two, not even three, but four variant covers for this year’s show!

The first few months of 2014 will see some of Dark Horse’s biggest launches of the year, and we have chosen to celebrate with Emerald City variants for Serenity #1, Buffy #1, Veil #1, and a very special variant of Witcher #1.

First up is Veil, the much-talked-about new, original series by Greg Rucka and Toni Fejzula. For this year’s show, Dark Horse has tapped J. H. Williams III to create the variant cover. Limited to 500 copies, Veil #1 is sure to go quickly, especially with writer Greg Rucka in attendance!

Next, we have the hotly anticipated Season 10 premiere of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with a variant cover by Season 9 cover artist Phil Noto, limited to 1,000 copies. Look for interior artist Rebekah Isaacs at this year’s show!

Another one for Joss Whedon fans: Dark Horse brings Jenny Frison on for a special cover of Serenity: Leaves on the Wind #1, featuring none other than the lovely Inara! A few lucky fans may even get actress Morena Baccarin herself to sign their copies!

Last, and certainly not least, legendary artist Stan Sakai has done a special cover of the upcoming tie-in series The Witcher, a canonical entry in the world of the Witcher video games, which have collectively won over 250 awards and sold more than 5.5 million copies worldwide! All proceeds from the sale of this limited edition variant will benefit Stan and Sharon Sakai. Stan will be attending the show, in celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of his landmark series, Usagi Yojimbo!

Each variant-cover issue will cost five dollars and will be limited to ten copies per person, per day! A set quantity will be available at the show opening each day.

Hope to see you at this year’s Emerald City Comicon in Seattle, WA, on March 28–30!

Image Update; THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES IN MANIFEST DESTINY

13/3/2014

Comments

 

The fifth issue of the frontier fantasy goes into a second printing to tide fans over

Picture
The fifth issue of Chris Dingess (Being Human) and Matthew Roberts’ (BATTLE POPE, FOUR LETTER WORLDS) critically acclaimed Skybound series MANIFEST DESTINY has sold out instantly and will go into its 2nd printing. Join readers and critics on a fantastic journey through a New World riddled with mysterious phenomena. Here there be monsters.
 
Praise for MANIFEST DESTINY:
 
“Historical fiction can be a gamble in comics… By keeping it weird and focusing on their characters, Dingess and Roberts make a great case for how well it can work.”
—Marykate Jasper, Comic Book Resources
 
“Salvation lies west, and Manifest Destiny is proof—taking a smart spin on otherwise barren narrative territory, Chris Dingess, Matthew Roberts and Owen Gieni have produced an opening issue that will pique your interest and get you invested in our heroes. This is the kind of trailblazing you won't want to miss.”
—David Pepose, Newsarama
 
“Dingess and Roberts have done a terrific job here, establishing the ugly side as well as the wonder of this expedition to the West. Manifest Destiny is looking to be one revelatory journey.”
—Michelle White, Multiversity Comics
 
“Manifest Destiny #1 promises to be some really solid storytelling, focusing on a time when the world was still a mystery to those who thought themselves above it, and a world which too often valued the pioneer spirit above basic human decency.”
—Andy Hunsaker, Crave Online
 
“It is way too early to start making best comics of the year lists, but we can safely put Manifest Destiny on the contenders list.”
—Cody Ferrell, Comic Book Therapy
 
MANIFEST DESTINY #5 has completely sold out at the distributor level, but may still be available in comic stores, and is currently available digitally on the Image Comics website (imagecomics.com) and the official Image Comics iOS app, as well as on Comixology on the web (comixology.com), iOS, Android, and Google Play.
 
The second printing of MANIFEST DESTINY #5 is available to order with Diamond Code JAN148384 and will be released on 4/9.
 
MANIFEST DESTINY #6 is available to order for $2.99 with Diamond Code FEB140609 and will hit stores on 4/9.

Is genetically modified food an end to world hunger or the beginning of the Apocalypse?

Picture
Coming this June from Minotaur Press, Top Cow publisher Matt Hawkins (THINK TANK, TALES OF HONOR) teams up with artist Linda Sejic in a haunting story that gives a Sinclair-eque speculation of the future spoils of genetically modified food consumption. 
 
Dan Miller is a plant biologist working with a small team perfecting an accelerated plant growth process. When things start to go wrong, Los Angeles finds itself careening toward unforeseen disaster. 
 
"Wildfire came out of an obsession I had researching genetically modified food," said Hawkins. "When I discovered that both pro and con are shamelessly lying and covering up facts I wanted to do something fun, but rooted in the core science of what they're doing and the debate. This is basically a disaster story unlike any before!"
 
WILDFIRE #1 arrives in stores on 6/11, and will be available for $3.99. It can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code APR140497. Cover B, featuring art by Stjepan Sejic, can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code APR140498.

RED CITY IS A HIGH STAKES CRIME NOIR...ON PLANET MARS

10/3/2014

Comments

 

Femme Fatales and rival alien mobs collide in this new series

Picture
Brimming with political conspiracy and raging with rival alien mobs, nothing is ever as it seems on the streets of RED CITY. Writer Daniel Corey (MORIARTY) and artist Mark Dos Santos bring you a whole new take on American crime noir, coming this June to Image Comics.
 
In the wake of a system-wide civil war, hard-nosed interplanetary investigator Cal Talmage is given a simple mission to find a missing ambassador’s daughter in Mars Central City. It all seems routine at first, but an experienced vet like Cal knows when trouble is brewing.
 
Coming off a run on the acclaimed series MORIARTY, also published by Image Comics, writer Daniel Corey brings you a new mystery that combines femme fatales and hard-boiled heroics with classic science fiction. Federal Security Officer Talmage just wants to be left alone, but with a girl in danger, a corrupt mayor in power and the lives of an entire race at stake, he’s got some tough choices ahead, because no one comes out clean in this town.
 
“You might say RED CITY is like L.A. Confidential on Mars,” said Corey. “Ellroy and Chandler shaking hands with Bradbury. We’ve got a likable-but-troubled cop who tackles a complex case in the midst of a vast criminal conspiracy, and it happens to take place on Mars. The really exciting thing is that we’re building an entire world, and the art of Mark Dos Santos brings a retro-futuristic vibe that will make RED CITY the most dangerous place in the New Solar System.”
 
The first of four issues of RED CITY arrives in stores 6/11, and can be pre-ordered using Diamond code APR140490.

THE FUSE IGNITES READER ENTHUSIASM 

6/3/2014

Comments

 

Issue #1 is slated for a second printing

Picture
ANTONY JOHNSTON (UMBRAL, Wasteland, Daredevil) partnered with JUSTIN GREENWOOD (Wasteland, Resurrection) for THE FUSE, a new sci-fi crime series with attitude that’s been gaining praise and readers at a lightspeed pace. THE FUSE has burned through the initial overprint stock, and will be going into a second printing immediately! This new ongoing series is murder, mayhem, and mystery—22,000 miles straight up. Don’t miss out on the adventure.
 
Praise for THE FUSE:
"Space cops investigating space murders is the sort of synopsis that gets my attention, and so far Johnston and Greenwood appear to have the world-building skills and noir chops to back it up... If you're a fan of detective stories and sci-fi that's more gritty than glossy, it's worth a look."
—Laura Hudson, WIRED
 
"The Fuse thrusts us immediately into a future that seems grimy rather than shiny, and cold rather than optimistic, and it's an impeccable setting for a neo-noir... A must-read. 5/5"
—Jen Aprahamian, ComicVine
 
"This is ‘lived-in’ science fiction that develops itself slowly, through accumulation rather than explanation... By Issue #5 The Fuse will be what everyone's talking about. Why not get a head start? 4/5"
—Marykate Jasper, Comic Book Resources
 
"Crisp dialogue, fantastic milieu, intriguing mystery, involving and interesting characters... writer Antony Johnston and artist Justin Greenwood deliver it all in this one."
—Marc Mason, The Comics Waiting Room
 
"Detective Noir set in a space station? I'd buy that even if it wasn't by the guy who's quickly becoming one of my favorite writers. Pick of the week."
—Drew Bradley, Multiversity Comics
 
"The Fuse hits fast and hard, with unapologetic wit and a no-nonsense attitude... It’s clear that Johnston is playing his cards close to the chest, leaving many questions unanswered, keeping you hanging on to the final pages begging for more. 4/5"
—Bree Ogden, Bloody Disgusting
 
THE FUSE #1 has completely sold out at the distributor level, but may still be available in comic stores. It is currently available digitally on the Image Comics website (imagecomics.com) and the official Image Comics iOS app, as well as on Comixology on the web (comixology.com), iOS, Android, and Google Play.
 
Image Comics is pleased to announce that THE FUSE #1 will be going back to print to meet customer demand. The second printing of THE FUSE #1 (Diamond Code JAN148309) will release on 4/2. 
 
THE FUSE #2 will hit shelves on 3/19 and can be ordered with Diamond Code JAN140590. Keep an eye out for the special THE FUSE #2 variant by Riley Rossmo, which is available on the same day and can be ordered with Diamond Code JAN148144.

Image Update; ALEX + ADA IS HARDWIRED FOR SUCCESS

6/3/2014

Comments

 

Issues 2, 3, and 4 all slated for a second printing

Picture
Picture
Picture
Jonathan Luna’s (GIRLS, THE SWORD, ULTRA) and Sarah Vaughn’s (Sparkshooter) ALEX + ADA is going back to press for issues #2, #3, and #4. For those just discovering ALEX + ADA, it is easy to jump in from the beginning of the series, as the second printing of issue #1 is still in stock and available to order. Fans of the movie Her will be immediately drawn to this haunting and visceral science fiction story that explores what makes us human—and worthy of love.
 
The last thing in the world Alex wanted was an X5, the latest in realistic androids. But when Ada is dropped into his life, his feelings begin to change.
 
Praise for ALEX + ADA:
“Luna and Vaughn have taken what could have been a derivative story about androids and the humans who love them and turned it into a promising debut.”
—Melissa Grey, IGN
 
“The cliffhanger in Alex + Ada is excellent, and I'm hard pressed to imagine a reader that wouldn't be intrigued enough to come back for issue two to see exactly where Luna and Vaughn plan to take this story. On the whole Alex + Ada #1 is simply an excellent start to an exciting new book.”
—Kelly Thompson, Comic Book Resources
 
“A great comic should be the marriage of writing and art in service of the story, and Alex + Ada is a book that is burrowing its way into our hearts thanks to two creators working in lockstep. Try this book out for size. You might just find your new favorite book.”
—David Harper, Multiversity Comics
 
“Vaughn and Luna make this far more than it seems and you can see the inner struggle Alex is going through with life and the fact that he now has a lifelike female android, without that message being pounded over your head. This is definitely an intriguing story that we'll be keeping our eye on.”
—Tony Guerrero, ComicVine
 
ALEX + ADA #2, #3, and #4 have completely sold out at the distributor level, but may still be available in comic stores. They are currently available digitally on the Image Comics website (imagecomics.com) and the official Image Comics iOS app, as well as on Comixology on the web (comixology.com), iOS, Android, and Google Play.
 
Image Comics is pleased to announce that all three issues will be going back to print to meet customer demand. The second printings of ALEX + ADA #2 (Diamond Code JAN140571), ALEX + ADA #3 (Diamond Code JAN148303 ), and ALEX + ADA #4 (Diamond Code JAN148304) will all release on 4/2. 
 
ALEX + ADA #5 will release on 3/26 and can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code JAN140571.

Titan Comics are bringing Deluxe hardcovers of "Elric: The Ruby Throne" & "Void" to readers

5/3/2014

Comments

 

Following the phenomenal runaway success of Snowpiercer, Titan Comics continues in its bold mission of presenting the highest quality European graphic novels to a brand-new audience!

Picture
Elric: The Ruby Throne will hit comic and book stores from September 16, 2014.
Picture
Void will hit comic and book stores from September 2, 2014.
Titan Comics is thrilled to announce that Elric: The Ruby Throne & Void will be published in deluxe hardcover editions this September!

Elric: The Ruby Throne is the first in a series of graphic adaptations of legendary fantasy author Michael Moorcock’s signature creation Elric. Written by Julien Blondel and beautifully illustrated by Robin Recht, Didier Poli & Jean Bastide, this new comic adaptation of the Elric of Melniboné novels has been produced with the full and enthusiastic endorsement of Moorcock himself, who provides an exclusive introduction to this edition!

“The best graphic adaptation of the story,” writes Moorcock, “has to be the current one by Julien Blondel and his team. This is perhaps the first graphic version of Elric fully to capture the sense of utter decadence I tried to convey in the books.”

Gripping science-fiction thriller Void is illustrated by superstar artist Sean Phillips (Fatale, Criminal, Sleeper) and written by Herik Hanna (Bad Ass). Concerning the sole survivor of an interstellar prison ship, this tense and atmospheric graphic novel is Phillips’ first venture into science fiction!

“We’re very excited to be launching a range of European graphic novels, spear-headed by Mike Moorcock’s Elric and Sean & Herik’s Void,” said Nick Landau, Titan publisher.

From late 2014, Titan Comics will follow Elric: The Ruby Throne and VOID with a host of new projects including best-selling medieval thriller The Third Testament; The Chronicles of Legion, which is the prequel to Fabien Nury & John Cassaday’s I Am Legion, and The Rage; a shocking horror about zombie children.


Void and Elric: The Ruby Throne will also be available to read on the iPad, iPhone, Web, Android and Kindle Fire, exclusively through the comiXology app and comiXology.com
