Select praise for PLUTONA:
Plutona is the kind of character driven tale that  we’ve all come to love Jeff Lemire for, but the real star here is the beautifully drawn pages by Emi Lenox. Her cartooning crafts a world I can feel by just looking at it. We’re lucky to have Jeff and Emi making books like this.“ —Skottie Young
“Like the very best comics, Plutona transcends any single genre. At once a gripping mystery, an epic superhero tale, and a deeply affecting coming-of-age story, Plutona presents Lemire and Lenox at the height of their powers—a masterful meditation on heroism, identity, and growing up. One of the best books of the year.”  —Scott Snyder
"Plutona is your new favorite comic. As heartfelt and beautiful as any of Lemire's previous works, and the artwork from Emi Lenox is like a breath of fresh air." —Nerdist

"A cool, effortlessly inviting coming-of-age tale filled with realized characters, a compelling mystery." —IGN

"Epic, intelligent, full of heart." —Comics Alliance

"Plutona will make you feel like a kid again." —Vox.com
"A contemporary, super-powered take on Stand By Me brought to life with expressive, nuanced art from Emi Lenox... The kind of emotionally complex story that makes you want to cry for no discernable reason. Pick it up and try not to drip salty tears on the pages." —Paste Magazine

GET CARRIED AWAY WITH POSTAL 
Issue #13 kicks off a new story arc

 
Writer Bryan Edward Hill (BROKEN TRINITY, NETHERWORLD) and artist Isaac Goodhart will launch a new story arc in their ongoing crime series from Top Cow this July.

Previously in POSTAL, Mark Shiffron learned that he could either protect his innocence or he could protect his town. He couldn’t save both.

In POSTAL #13, the FBI tightens its noose around Eden. Mark and his mother Laura must either choose to let one of their own suffer at the hands of revenge, or help him take a stand against his enemies—the Aryan Brotherhood. Does everyone deserve redemption, or are there some deeds that can’t be forgiven?

"With POSTAL, Matt Hawkins has allowed me to explore the darkest aspects of human nature with an unflinching view of the equally violent and righteous world of Eden, Wyoming and its town filled with criminals,” said Hill. “In this arc, the stakes are even higher for Eden, and for the first time in the series, Mayor Laura Shiffron, and her postman son Mark, find themselves targeted by people who are even more dangerous than they are. Isaac Goodhart is firing on all cylinders and new colorist K. Michael Russell has brought a brutally beautiful perspective to the word of POSTAL."

“We're definitely not showing any signs of slowing down,” said Goodhart. “The new arc is challenging and intense, and Bryan Hill continues to be one of the most fearless writers around. The new scripts are some of the best comics I've ever read and I'm giving them everything I've got. This fourth story arc is going to blow readers away.”

POSTAL #13 Cover A by Linda Sejic (Diamond code: MAY160609) hits stores Wednesday, July 27th. POSTAL #13 Cover B by Isaac Goodhart (Diamond code: MAY160610) will also be available Wednesday, July 27th. Final order cutoff deadline for retailers is Monday, July 4th.

The Creator of HELLBOY, The Co-Creator of i,ZOMBIE and Acclaimed Horror Artist Christopher Mitten Unleash a Terrifying Meditation on The Nature of Evil


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MILWAUKIE, OR— This September, legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, iZOMBIE co-creator Chris Roberson, Criminal Macabre and 30 Days of Night artist Christopher Mitten, award winning colorist Dave Stewart and cover artist Laurence Campbell will present RISE OF THE BLACK FLAME. This five issue miniseries from Dark Horse Comics will present a dark horror story about an ancient, evil power. In RISE OF THE BLACK FLAME, young girls are going missing from the cities of Siam, and the trail leads to the jungle hideout of a bloodthirsty cult-- the Cult of the Black Flame.
"There have been several villains in Hellboy’s world who’ve been called the Black Flame, and the striking visual of a skeleton burning with dark flames is pretty hard to beat,” said co-writer Chris Roberson. “In RISE OF THE BLACK FLAME, we reveal that before there was a man called the Black Flame, there was an ancient cult hidden deep in the jungles of Southeast Asia known by that name. We plumb the depths of cruelty and ruthlessness that groups of people are capable of reaching, and explore how this cult which reaches back to prehistoric times is connected to the most dangerous villain in the history of the Hellboy books.”
"After all these years it’s still so exciting to find new corners (or in this case a giant shadowy, uncharted abyss of horror) of the Hellboy world left to explore," said Mike Mignola.
In addition to RISE OF THE BLACK FLAME, Roberson and Mignola will be co-writing HELLBOY & THE BPRD: 1954 and WITCHFINDER: CITY OF THE DEAD. RISE OF THE BLACK FLAME will mark the Mignolaverse debut of artist Christopher Mitten.
“It is tremendous fun--and a little surreal--to be given the chance to dive into this fantastic universe,” said Christopher Mitten. “Mike and Chris (with whom I've long wanted to work) have concocted a fantastic story, and then there's Dave Stewart...I mean, KNOWING Dave would be coloring and then actually SEEING his artistry in action are two wholly different things. Getting a chance to dip my toe into this expansive world has made me want to dig in and explore more of it, to go off into little corners and find what strangeness, what beauty, lurks there.”
RISE OF THE BLACK FLAME #1 (of 5) goes on sale from Dark Horse Comics on September 7.  Preorder your copy today at your local comic shop!

THE DOCTOR IS IN: Critically acclaimed comics duo returns for new “Resident Alien” series


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
MILWAUKIE, Ore., June 14, 2016 — Dark Horse is proud to announce the newest installment in the Resident Alien universe, Resident Alien: The Man with No Name. Peter Hogan (2000 AD, Tom Strong) and Steve Parkhouse (Milkman Murders, Doctor Who) will revisit Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle and his mysterious adventures in Patience, Washington.
Resident Alien chronicles the life of Harry, an alien who crash-landed on Earth and is forced to hide in plain sight among humans. While awaiting rescue and dodging government agencies intent on capturing him, Harry spends his time solving murders and other mysteries in a small Washington town. In The Man with No Name, Harry investigates a huge, bizarre fire attributed to a possible drug ring, while fending off the investigative prowess of the United States government.
Resident Alien writer Peter Hogan explained the creative premise behind The Man with No Name: “In this series Harry’s not only dealing with a murder mystery; he’s having to deal with dramatic developments in his personal life as well — and readers will finally learn the answers to some of their questions about Harry’s past.”
Dark Horse, Hogan, and Parkhouse published the first Resident Alien series in 2012. The Man with No Name is the fourth Resident Alien miniseries; it was preceded by Welcome to Earth!, The Suicide Blonde, and The Sam Hain Mystery. The first issue of The Man with No Name goes on sale September 14, 2016, with the next three issues of the miniseries published monthly. 
Past Resident Alien issues received rave reviews:
“A sci-fi murder mystery, Resident Alien: The Suicide Blonde #1 engages its readers with a supporting cast of quirky characters and a weird-looking protagonist. Geared for newcomers, this installment is a quick introduction to the inhabitants of Patience, USA.” — Jorge Solis, Bloody Disgusting
Resident Alien first appeared in Dark Horse Presents, and I’m pleased to see it’s getting this shot at a longer run. It’s got tons of potential, and a strong execution.” — Max Delgado, Unleash the Fanboy
“Artist Steve Parkhouse, like Peter Hogan, is a mainstay in British comics and his particular style balances heavy shading, simple palettes, and structured paneling for a story that follows the script’s priorities.” — Zak Edwards, Comic Book Bin
