SUMMER BREAK’S OVER, GET BACK TO DEADLY CLASS

25/8/2014

Comments

 
Why this has Piqued our interest.

From the very first issue this has been a comic to get excited about. The mixture of outlandish storytelling and personal experience from writer Rick Remender really hit home with readers. You can read our review of the first trade which encompasses the first arc here.

For now though we leave you with details and images for the second highly anticipated arc.
Picture
Bestselling writer Rick Remender (BLACK SCIENCE, Uncanny Avengers) and artist Wes Craig return with an all-new story arc of the bestselling ‘80s assassin school series in DEADLY CLASS #7. Jump in on the series that USA Today described as “a bit like The Breakfast Club but with really, really dangerous kids” and that ComicVinecalled, “a crazy and intense series.”

DEADLY CLASS #7 begins in March of 1988, about four months after the harrowing events of issue #6, when the terrible ramifications of the crew’s actions come back to haunt them. After narrowly escaping death in Las Vegas, Marcus and his remaining gang return to Kings Dominion High School for the Deadly Arts. But they’re about to learn a hard lesson: blood begets blood, and no bad deed goes unpunished.

DEADLY CLASS #7 arrives in stores this 9/17 and will be available for $3.50. It can be ordered using Diamond Code JUL140453. Final order cutoff deadline for retailers is TODAY, 8/25.

The popular CHEW artist puts his signature spin on the forthcoming series by Josh Fialkov and Kody Chamberlain

Picture
Image Comics is pleased to reveal a very special variant cover by New York Timesbestselling artist Rob Guillory (CHEW) for the first issue of PUNKS: THE COMIC by Eisner and Harvey award nominees Joshua Hale Fialkov (The Bunker, The Ultimates) and Kody Chamberlain (SWEETS, The Ride). The cover features Abe, Dog, Skull, and Fist and will be available to pre-order with Diamond Code AUG140540.

PUNKS: THE COMIC—the cult hit comedy that returns this September—will feature new stories and a bonus classic in the back of the issue. Expect the latest dose of irreverent, side-splitting comedy that fans of the series have been holding out for.

In this first issue, Dog, Skull, Fist, and Abe Lincoln live in a house, beat the #%?! out of each other, and frequently humiliate themselves. There is bleeding and sadness.

PUNKS: THE COMIC #1 arrives in stores on 10/8, available for $3.99. It can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code AUG140539. The variant cover by Eisner award-winning artist Rob Guillory will also be available for pre-order with Diamond Code AUG140540.

The third issue of the hit series sells out immediately, rushed to a second print

Picture
The third issue of Kyle Higgins (Batman, Nightwing), Alec Siegel (Captain America,Avengers), and Rod Reis’ (Justice League) all-new ongoing series C.O.W.L. has sold out and is slated for a second printing to meet customer demand. A runaway hit, C.O.W.L. has captivated superhero fans with its unique, moody tone and fresh spin on the superhero genre. Critics and leading industry professionals have embraced the new series enthusiastically and readers are hooked.

The Chicago Sun Times and IGN both praised the story for incorporating strikingly real issues for the characters and excellent character work. C.O.W.L. #3 explores the superheroes in depth and delves into Radia’s history, including her struggle to gain respect within and without the labor union. Meanwhile, Geoffrey uncovers more about C.O.W.L.’s dire plight and John’s investigation into the union takes a turn down a much darker path than anyone expected.

C.O.W.L. #3 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, and on Comixology on the web (comixology.com), iOS, Android, and Google Play.

The second printing of C.O.W.L. #3 (Diamond Code JUN148316) will release on 8/27.

C.O.W.L. #4 (Diamond Code JUN140544) will hit stores on 8/27.

Early artwork from the new fantasy series by Zub and Cummings revealed

Picture
Writer Jim Zub (SKULLKICKERS, Samurai Jack), penciler Steve Cummings (Legends of the Dark Knight, Deadshot), and color artist John Rauch (INVINCIBLE) team up to create a rich and vibrant Tokyo in WAYWARD. However, this Tokyo just so happens to be filled with monsters of myth and legend laying in wait for one Rori Lane's arrival.

Rori’s a misfit teen who travels halfway across the world from Ireland to make a new home in Japan with her mother. From the get-go there are some cultural adjustments to be made and Rori feels like a fish out of water—but things take a turn for the weird when she begins glimpsing things, creatures, that no one else can see.
WAYWARD #1 arrives in stores on 8/27, and will be available for $3.50 with special variant covers by Alina Urusov (Birds of Prey), Jeff "Chamba" Cruz (Street Fighter), and Adam Warren (Empowered). The final order cutoff for retailers is 8/4.
