With their backs against the wall, the Titans are wanted across the country! Now, Tim Drake must find a way to clear the team’s name while staying one step ahead of the law. But Wonder Girl’s past is also catching up with her and it won’t wait for the Titans’ troubles to calm down.

Geoff Johns Reveals JUSTICE LEAGUE: GODS AND MEN

10/7/2015

During Friday’s One on One panel at COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL: SAN DIEGO 2015, JUSTICE LEAGUE writer Geoff Johns revealed his plans for series of one-shots spinning out of his current “Darkseid War” story arc.

Scheduled for October, JUSTICE LEAGUE: GODS AND MEN is a series of six single issues focusing on key characters in the Darkseid War and extends their individual conflicts against the backdrop of universal Armageddon, with Darkseid squaring off against the Anti-Monitor:

Batman – Armed with the godlike power of the Mobius Chair, the Dark Knight has taken on the role of Metreon and plans to use the infinite knowledge of this device to turn Gotham City into a completely crime-free zone!

Superman – Corrupted by the weird energies of Apokolips’ fire pits, Superman has been turned into an angry, violent brute. And only one man can possibly save him: Lex Luthor.

Green Lantern – Oa has been conquered and transformed into a Parademon factory and the Green Lantern Corps is no more! Only Hal Jordan remains to follow a distress call from the last active Lantern seen fighting on Oa: John Stewart

Lex Luthor – At last, Lex Luthor, the new ruler of Apokolips, can do what he never could accomplish on Earth: hold the fate of a world in his hands. But his one failure from the “Darkseid War” continues to keep him from the peace he craves – and only a crazed Superman can help him get it!

The Flash – The Flash takes on the role of death’s harbinger, the Black Racer. And the beneficiary of his first visit is Aquaman!

Shazam! – Instead of accessing the powers of the old gods, Billy Batson now commands the combined powers of the New Gods like Highfather, Mantis and others trapped within the Source Wall. And that’s power that no mortal should possess!

Neal Adams Class Action in color

3/6/2015

Neal Adams "Class Action" is coming in bristling color. From the minds of Neal Adams and Amikael, from publisher Scout Comics, produced by Deadline. Following Solarman, also from Scout Comics & Deadline, Class Action is a new title that brings no nonsense, nonstop action to the party.

The worlds greatest super villain Jon Smith - an alias naturally - is about to marry the unsuspecting Sarah Wesson, the sexy young heiress to the Carbonite INC billion dollar empire.
Jon has ben pardoned by the government to save Carbonite INC from his own creation, the crime organisation "ALITE". Only his very special brand of ruthless genius has a chance to do that. Sarah is now caught between the two beasts, and knows nothing of the storm that is brewing around her. Will love conquer all? Will Sarah wake up to the truth? And what will she do, if so?

Class Action sold out at New York Comic Con, with all copies signed by Neal Adams, and was then solicited in black and white through Diamonds, but the order numbers escalated to the point that it was decided that color would be required to do right by the readers and this title. It was thus cancelled and is now being resolicited in full color and with a brand new exciting cover by comics legend Neal Adams.
The time has come for Jon Smith to show his real colors.

It’s time to break the first two rules of FIGHT CLUB; by talking about FIGHT CLUB 2

27/4/2015

Ten years after starting Project Mayhem, Tyler Durden lives… a mundane life. A kid, a wife. Pills to keep his destiny at bay. But it won’t last long, the wife has seen to that. The time has come . . . Rize or Die.

On Saturday May 2nd, Dark Horse Comics will debut one of the most anticipated comic book and literary events of the year with a FIGHT CLUB 2 story written by NEW YORK TIMES bestselling novelist Chuck Palahniuk, illustrated by Eisner Award winning artist Cameron Stewart and colored by award winning Dave Stewart. The Dark Horse Comics Free Comic Book Day Sampler includes a 14-page story that adapts the ending of the FIGHT CLUB novel (which fans will recall is different than the ending of the acclaimed film) and leads into the upcoming Dark Horse Comics FIGHT CLUB 2 comic book series. The first issue of FIGHT CLUB 2 will be available at comics shops, select book stores and digitally via the Dark Horse digital storeand app on May 27th.

Each issue of the series will feature covers by bestselling artist David Mack. Additionally, issue 1 features previously revealed variant covers by Lee Bermejo, Amanda Connor, Steve Lieber, Cameron Stewart, andChip Zdarsky as well as as-yet-unrevealed variant covers by Joëlle Jones, Paul Pope, and Tim Seeley. The series is edited by Scott Allie, Dark Horse Editor-in-Chief.

“Chuck’s work has only gotten bolder since FIGHT CLUB first took us all by surprise in the mid 1990s,” said Allie. “FIGHT CLUB 2 has been generating international headlines for months, but the sheer amount of mayhem and chaos contained in this comic, along with audacious and profound storytelling, will take people by surprise.”

Dark Horse Comics has encouraged fans to further contribute to the mayhem with a guerilla marketing campaign utilizing the phrases "Tyler Durden Lives" and "Rize or Die" in order to win Easton Press limited, leather-bound editions of Palahniuk’s novels BEAUTIFUL YOU, FIGHT CLUB and SURVIVOR. Fans are encouraged to e-mail their photos and letters using the phrases "Tyler Durden Lives" and "Rize or Die" to:projectmayhem@darkhorse.com.

As Dark Horse Comics publishes FIGHT CLUB 2, Palahniuk’s first foray into comic book writing, Doubleday will publish MAKE SOMETHING UP, the novelists’ first ever short story collection, on May 26. Palahniuk will embark on a book tour later this spring with events in New York, Pittsburgh, Miami, Atlanta, Washington, DC., Kansas City, Chicago and Portland. For more updates on FIGHT CLUB 2 and Project Mayhem, follow Tyler Durden on Twitter and visit the official FIGHT CLUB 2 website and the official Chuck Palahniuk fansite,www.chuckpalahniuk.net.

THE TITHE A HEIST STORY UNLIKE ANY BEFORE

New Top Cow series will steal readers’ hearts

Writer Matt Hawkins (THINK TANK, TALES OF HONOR) and artist Rahsan Ekedal team up for an all new thriller suspense series—THE TITHE—coming from Top Cow this April.

In THE TITHE, mega-churches are being robbed for millions of dollars by a crusader hacker group known as Samaritan who is giving the money to causes they deem more worthy. This modern day “Robin Hood” is being pursued by two FBI agents who actually admire their quarry but want to stop the theft before it escalates.

Bestselling writer Rick Remender launches the new series fans have been dying for, previews breathtaking artwork

Rick Remender (BLACK SCIENCE, DEADLY CLASS) and artist Greg Tocchini (Uncanny X-Force) plunge into an underwater dystopian world in their new, highly anticipated ongoing series LOW. This #1 issue marks the launch of the science fiction series first announced at Image Expo in January and the beginning of a sure-to-be hit for fans of Remender and Tocchini’s work.

LOW is set in the distant future, after humanity has relocated to radiation-shielded cities below the sea and the surface of the planet has become a scorched uninhabitable wasteland. A probe has returned with information on a possible alternative planet for humans, but it has landed on the Earth’s surface. A few brave representatives from the warring human clans venture out to retrieve it and the hopeful news it bears.

"Low is a story about one woman's eternal optimist against the crushing weight of a world without hope,” said Remender. “Stel's a perfect character to examine the notion that it’s not what happens in life that defines us, but how we choose to deal with it. Working with longtime collaborator Greg Tocchini is a treat as ever. His rendering of the world of Salus is worth the cost of admission alone, which is already a steal given the first issue is 30 pages of Greg's game-changing work."

Fans of BLACK SCIENCE, Remender's chart-busting sci-fi collaboration with Matteo Scalera, won’t want to miss out on the imagination-inspiring world-building and stunningly beautiful artwork of LOW.

LOW #1 arrives in stores on 7/30, and will be available for $3.99. It can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code MAY140566. The final order cutoff deadline for retailers is 7/7.
