<span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>LOS ANGELES, CALIF. (August 17) </strong>– BOOM! Studios is thrilled to announce <strong>FENCE</strong>, an all-new original comic book series debuting in November from bestselling novelist C.S. Pacat (<em>Captive Prince</em>) and popular online sensation Johanna The Mad. Launching from the BOOM! Box imprint, <strong>FENCE</strong>
brings together the worlds of teen soap opera with the adrenaline rush
of competitive fencing, an exciting journey of self-discovery that
challenges readers with one simple phrase: <em>En garde</em>!<br /> <br /> “<strong>FENCE</strong>
follows the rise of sixteen-year-old outsider Nicholas in the world of
competitive fencing, as he joins the team at an elite boys school,” says
Pacat. “Readers will experience the world of fencing, its elegance and
danger, and the high stakes of a combat sport. But most of all, <strong>FENCE</strong>
is about the characters—with intense rivalries, lifelong friendships,
and the thrill of romance between teammates—a diverse cast and a story
that is exuberantly queer.”<br /> <br /> <strong>FENCE</strong> marks the
comics debut of both C.S Pacat and Johanna The Mad, whose individual
work have amassed devoted fan followings. Pacat’s bestselling book
series, <em>Captive Prince</em>, began its life as an original-fiction
web serial that went viral, attracting the attention of publisher
Penguin Random House. Johanna The Mad is a fan-favorite artist who has
gained widespread popularity for her sketches, illustrations, and
handmade items.<br /> <br /> “<strong>FENCE</strong> means the world to
me,” says Johanna The Mad. “It has always been one of my biggest dreams
to draw comics, but I never thought I'd be able to work on one that I'd
end up fangirling about!”<br /> <br /> “Johanna’s artwork captures everything that is hot, dangerous, and exciting about fencing,” adds Pacat.<br /> <br /> <strong>FENCE #1 </strong>launches with two open-to-order covers, one by Johanna The Mad and another by superstar artist Kevin Wada (<em>Scarlet Witch</em>). The series will be colored by Rebecca Nalty.<br /> <br /> "Teen drama, pretty people, self-discovery, and the thrill of competitive sports? <strong>FENCE</strong>
is everything I love in one comic," says Dafna Pleban, BOOM! Studios
editor. “C.S Pacat and Johanna The Mad have created a truly special
comic we can't wait for people to read."<br /> <br /> Print copies of <strong>FENCE #1</strong> will be available for sale at local comic book shops (use <a href="http://boom-studios.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9d17c9217240226bbc79d6750&id=03da1e7aec&e=edbc5273e6" style="color: maroon; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">comicshoplocator.com</a>

reunited to deliver the story of Stanford Yu, a young janitor who is
unexpectedly chosen to join the sacred ranks of the mech cadets at Sky
Corps Academy. Once a year, giant robots from outer space come to Earth
to bond with the cadets to defend the world from terrifying aliens known
as the </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif;">Sharg</span></span><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif;">.
After he unintentionally bonds with his robot, Yu is thrown into
training, hoping to prove he is worthy of being there at all. <br /> <br />
“I’m hugely thrilled and so grateful to all of the readers, reviewers,
and retailers who showed the first issue so much love and spread the
word about the book,” says Pak. “That kind of word-of-mouth means all
the world to an underdog book about an underdog hero and his underdog
robot, so thank you so much! None of this would have happened without
you, and we're doing our best to make every issue the best and most fun
it can possibly be.”<br /> <br /> “I feel like we would just be getting on
our two feet with the first four issues, so it’s going to be amazing to
see where the story goes and watch Stanford and Co. face bigger threats
and become even bigger heroes,” adds Miyazawa. “Stanford has come such a
long way already. I hope everyone keeps rooting for the kid!”<br /> <br />
"Greg and Takeshi are one the of most exciting pairs of collaborators
in comics, creating characters with unmatched charm and heart," says
Cameron Chittock, BOOM! Studios associate editor of <strong>MECH CADET YU</strong>.

<br />
PORTLAND, OR, 08/24/2017 — Jesse "Street Angel" Sanchez knows the pressure of being <em>the girl</em>
who always saves the day. It’s just who she is. But when she and her
friends find a powerful alien artifact, they learn that being a
superhero is not all fun and games. Is this an extraterrestrial plot to
destroy their middle school friendship or a gift from above that Jesse
can pawn for a hot dog?<br />
<br />
“Although Street Angel is the toughest superhero ever, her stories don't
look like traditional superhero comics,” said Rugg. “In STREET ANGEL:
SUPERHERO FOR A DAY, we finally see Jesse with Angel City's other
champions—and we see how she responds when her role in her circle of
friends is threatened. It's an exciting, new take on the superhero
genre, guaranteed to shake up the status quo like <em>Watchmen</em> and <em>Dark Knight</em> did generations ago.”<br />
<br />
This October, Eisner Award-winner Jim Rugg (<em>The PLAIN Janes</em>, <em>Afrodisiac</em>), Brian Maruca (<em>Afrodisiac</em>), and Image Comics present the biggest, most epic STREET ANGEL yarn yet.<br />
<br />
STREET ANGEL: SUPERHERO FOR A DAY (Diamond code: AUG170741, ISBN:
978-1-5343-0553-3) arrives in comic book stores Wednesday, October 25th
and bookstores Tuesday, October 31st. The final order cutoff deadline
for comics retailers is Monday, September 4th.<br />

<strong>Select praise for STREET ANGEL:</strong><br />
<br />
“STREET ANGEL shows girls that they can be anything they want to be,
including someone who saves the world and fights injustices, one bad guy
at a time. She also defies female stereotypes right and left, and that
is pretty darn cool.”<br />
<em><strong>—Cindy Whitehead, founder of Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word</strong></em><br />
<br />
“STREET ANGEL is pure, unadulterated punk.” <em><strong>—Multiversity Comics</strong></em><br />
<br />
“Jim Rugg’s art is a real treat. It’s simple and bold and seems to adapt to the individual scenes in the story.” <em><strong>—Comic Bastards</strong></em><br />
<br />
“Jesse Sanchez is my new favorite comic book character. Great middle school dialogue and the battle scenes will blow your mind!”<br />
<em><strong>—Jeff Smith (Bone, RASL, Tuki)</strong></em><br />
<br />
“STREET ANGEL remains as charming, inventive, and pitch-perfect as it was in the beginning. An indie-comics classic!”<br />
<em><strong>—Hope Larson (Compass South, Batgirl)</strong></em></div>

PORTLAND,
OR, 08/23/2017 — Creators Sean Mackiewicz and Niko Walter team up with
colorist Mat Lopes and letterer Rus Wooton for an all-new crime/horror
adventure, GASOLINA, from Image/Skybound Entertainment and reveal
interior pages for a sneak peek into the new story.<br />
<br />
Fugitives. Rebels. Newlyweds. GASOLINA follows Amalia and Randy on their
journey south from El Norte. They have played many roles in order to
survive, but now, they must become unlikely leaders in the fight against
a new cartel who uses inhuman tactics to ignite the most monstrous war
Mexico—and the world—has ever seen.<br />
<br />
“Skybound is the most creatively stimulating environment I’ve ever
experienced, so in creating this comic with Niko Walter, I’m putting to
use everything I’ve learned from all the talented creators I’ve worked
with… and also Robert Kirkman,” said Mackiewicz. “I can’t imagine
publishing my first comic anywhere but at Image/Skybound.”<br />
<br />
Everything burns in this new series where love and devotion can only be measured in fire and blood.<br />
<br />
GASOLINA #1 Cover A (Diamond Code JUL170702) and GASOLINA #1 cover B by
Felici (Diamond Code JUN178586) will be available in stores on
Wednesday, September 20th. The final order cutoff deadline is Monday,
August 28th.</div>

<b><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>The Mercenary</i> by Vicente Segrelles Returns<br />to Print in New, Remastered Deluxe Editions</span></b></div>
</div>
On the occasion of its 40th anniversary, NBM Graphic Novels is proud to re-release<i> The Mercenary</i>, one of the world's first highly realistic fully painted comics, which we originally released over three decades ago.<br /><br />Brought
back in even better reproduction than ever with all-new scans of the
original paintings overseen by the master Vincente Segrelles, himself,
and presented in handsome large quarterbound collectors editions. Each
panel could be a painting on your wall! These volumes will take your
breath away. <br /><br />In October the first volume, <i>The Cult of the Sacred Fire, </i>arrives
in stores. In a lost and long forgotten valley high up in the
mountains, The Mercenary has been contracted to save a woman from the
mysterious and powerful Cult of the Sacred Fire! <br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<br />Each
volume is complemented with articles at the back about the history and
the making of this series over its gloried decades-long history.<br /><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman,serif;"><i>"The Cult of The Sacred Fire</i>
was one of my first introductions to fully painted graphic novels and
to this day holds up against the best of them. Segrelles inspired
generations to push the art for further with this breakthrough book and
40 years later, its looking better than ever. A must have for any
illustrator or storyteller."<br /></span><div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">– Jimmy Palmiotti, writer of <i>Harley Quinn</i>; creator of <i>Painkiller Jane</i></span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">"I
remember well when these books first came out. I bought all of them.
They had a great influence on me as a painter; also on my interest in
sequential art. Vincent Segrelles is a superlative storyteller in both
words and pictures. Like the extraordinary art of his Uncle, Jose
Segrelles, the work of Vincente is not to be missed!"<br /></span><div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">– Joe DeVito, creator and illustrator of <i>King Kong of Skull Island</i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>LOS ANGELES, CALIF.</strong> (<strong>August 16, 2017</strong>) – BOOM! Studios is excited to announce the <strong>GIANT DAYS 2017 SPECIAL</strong>, on-sale in November 2017. Just in time for the holiday season, Eisner Award-nominated <em>Giant Days</em> creator John Allison (<em>Bad Machinery)</em> is teaming up with <em>Jem & the Misfits</em> artist Jenn St-Onge for a tribute to the films of Richard Curtis, because nothing says London at Christmastime like <em>Love, Actually. </em><br /> <br />
When Esther is invited to stay with her friend and mentor, Shelley
Winters—who is less a mentor and more utterly mental—she brings Daisy
and Susan with her. Shelley Winters is a great and distinguished career
woman who is hopelessly in love. Susan, Esther and Daisy observe (read:
aggressively meddle in) her life, falling back on tried-and-true
rom-com cliches to teach her some valuable life lessons.<br /> <br /> “It’s
a tribute to the films of Richard Curtis, and the Bridget Jones movies,
by someone who has seen those movies perhaps once, and maybe not all
the way through,” says Allison.<br /> <br /> The <strong>GIANT DAYS 2017 SPECIAL </strong>is
also a tribute to the fictionalized London-as-written for Americans,
according to Allison. “Iconic locations are presented as if they’re a
brief walk away from each other, 1950s throwbacks still seem to walk the
streets, it’s very clean, there are no poor people,” Allison
describes. “The ghosts of Mary Poppins and bad dentistry loom large,
but not as large as Colin Firth. He’s everywhere.”<br /> <br /> “Readers
can expect some holiday hijinx from our main ladies (with only the best
intentions, of course), some gentle ‘Love, Actually’ inspiration, and
the return of some familiar faces for longtime readers of John Allison's
comics,” adds artist Jenn St-Onge. “I'm a huge fan of <em>Giant Days</em> and I really hope that as a guest artist (and non-Brit) I do this special justice!”<br /> <br /> <em>Giant Days</em>
is one of BOOM! Studios’ most acclaimed series, earning numerous award
nominations, including Eisners, Harveys, and one for Best Humor Comic by
the inaugural Ringo Awards (which comics pros can vote on at <a href="http://boom-studios.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9d17c9217240226bbc79d6750&id=02c95b099c&e=edbc5273e6" style="color: maroon; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">ringoawards.com</a>.)
The ongoing series was first illustrated by animation artist Lissa
Treiman and is currently drawn by Max Sarin and Liz Fleming, who won a
National Cartoonists Society Award for their work.<br /> <br /> Print copies of the<strong> GIANT DAYS 2017 SPECIAL</strong> will be available for sale at local comic book shops (use <a href="http://boom-studios.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9d17c9217240226bbc79d6750&id=55942a3bd6&e=edbc5273e6" style="color: maroon; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">comicshoplocator.com</a>

PORTLAND,
OR, 08/15/2017 — Writer Miles Gunter (NYC MECH) and artist Kelsey
Shannon (BASTARD SAMURAI) will launch their ecological action series
DARK FANG this November from Image Comics.<br />
<br />
When Valla lived, she was a fisherwoman. In death, she is a vampire,
peacefully residing on the bottom of the ocean—until a mysterious dark
plague descends upon her aquatic paradise.<br />
<br />
Searching for answers on the surface, Valla finds a world headed toward
an environmental collapse that will ultimately wipe out her food supply.
Now, to stay fed, she must take on the juggernaut that is the global
fossil fuel industry.<br />
<br />
Climate change deniers beware: DARK FANG is coming.<br />
<br />
“DARK FANG was largely born out of the anger and frustration I feel
towards people either denying or having an apathetic attitude towards
climate change,” said Gunter. “Working on this book has been a fun
catharsis for all my frustration about the issue, and I hope it will be a
catharsis for others who feel the same way.”<br />
<br />
“I've worked on many books that are devoid of any meaning beyond its own
self-contained universe,” said Shannon. “But this is the first time
I've had the opportunity to invest myself in something that is not only
fun and sexy, but also has meaning beyond itself and our art form. It
actually has something important to say and I find that tremendously
exciting!”<br />
<br />
DARK FANG #1 (Diamond code: SEP170613) arrives in stores Wednesday,
November 15th. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is
Monday, October 23rd.</div>

PORTLAND,
OR, 08/15/2017 — Writer Sean Lewis (THE FEW, SAINTS) and rising-star
artist Caitlin Yarsky will launch their new series COYOTES this November
from Image Comics.<br />
<br />
Women are disappearing. A legion of wolves roam the border, hunting them
down, and a band of survivors have come together, ready to wage war.<br />
<br />
Detective Frank Coffey is struggling to wrap his head around this
mythic-level bloodbath when he meets Red, a little girl with a
secret—and a sword.<br />
<br />
“Every once in a while, my wife will read me a weird fact about women
who go missing across the world,” said Lewis. “It's always staggering.
It's always unsolved. It's terrifying. So I wanted to go to war with
that. COYOTES is about women who go missing, women who fight back, and
stories we tell ourselves to get through life.”<br />
<br />
“My favorite fantasy stories are the ones that help us relate to each
other and our own reality, and COYOTES is all about that,” said Yarsky.
“As soon as I read it, I could envision the stark, gritty world and the
badass women that band together to change their narrative. It's a thrill
working with Sean to create such a unique and mythic tale.”<br />
<br />
COYOTES #1 (Diamond code: SEP170611) arrives in comic shops Wednesday,
November 8th. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is
Monday, October 16th.</div>

in EVOLUTION. The new series is set to launch with an oversized debut
issue this November.<br />
<br />
“Society now moves at an exponentially rapid pace. Our technology
processes information faster than our biology is capable of handling,”
said Keatinge. “<em>Evolution</em> explores what happens when this goes
awry when humanity is left behind by its progress, venturing into
unexpected, horrifying directions.”<br />
<br />
Asmus added: "If reading this book is anything like writing it, it'll be
a disturbing, thought-provoking, and cathartic ride through some very
real anxieties about shifting society, what lurks inside us, and
realizing just how few guard rails there are keeping us safe. But with
enough twists, body horror, and murder that keep it fun!"<br />
<br />
Human evolution has taken millions of years to get to the stage it’s
reached in EVOLUTION. But next week, we become something new. Around the
world, humanity is undergoing rapid and unpredictable changes, and only
three individuals seem to notice that their world is being reborn. But
what can they do about it?<br />
<br />
“Horror is a slippery and weird genre,” said Sebela. “Not everything
scares everyone else the same way. But I know what I want out of mine:
long tendrils of dread, a fog of doom, deep conspiracies,
monsters—especially the human variety—and loss.<em> Evolution</em>’s
horror focuses on that sense of loss, one that can be as deadly as a
psycho in a mask. Loss of control over our world, our lives and even our
bodies, it’s everything we’re always facing but in a much bloodier
package."<br />
<br />
EVOLUTION #1 (Diamond Code SEP170638) will be available in stores on
Wednesday, November 15th. The final order cutoff from retailers is
Monday, October 23rd. </div>

an all-new multimedia graphic novel experience debuting this November
in comic shops and bookstores. Created by cartoonist, children’s books
illustrator, and instructor at the Center for Cartoon Studies Jon Chad (<em>Science Comics, Adventure Time</em>), <strong>BAD MASK</strong>
takes readers on an immersive, unpredictable storytelling journey into
an original superhero universe through a variety of unique print and
digital items, including a comic, newspaper, handbook, and more,
packaged in a gorgeous deluxe box set.<br /> <br /> “<strong>Bad Mask</strong>
is about an organization of super-powered terrorists that want to take
over the world; Metal Metro, the robot that stands in their way; and one
young Bad Mask agent’s quest to destroy Metal Metro,” explains Chad.
“Gabrielle, a new recruit to Bad Mask, joins to avenge the death of her
friend at the hands of Metal Metro. She is dismayed to learn Bad Mask
might not be the organization she thought it was, and becomes caught up
in a plan to reveal Metal Metro's true nature and save the world.”<br /> <br /> The items contained in the box include:</span></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif;">A <strong>letter </strong>from one of the Great Generals of Bad Mask, explaining the contents of the box and introducing us to the world of Bad Mask.</span></span></li>

<span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>LOS ANGELES, CALIF.</strong> (<strong>August 9, 2017</strong>) – BOOM! Studios, DeVito Artworks LLC, and Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products are excited to announce <strong>KONG ON THE PLANET OF THE APES</strong>, a comic book series bringing together two of entertainment’s biggest icons for the first time ever! Writer Ryan Ferrier (<em>Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Kennel Block Blues) </em>and artist Carlos Magno (<em>Planet of the Apes</em>, <em>Kong of Skull Island) </em>team up for the six-issue series that promises to deliver an epic story starring the best-known primates in pop culture.<br /> <br /> Following the events of the first <em>Planet of the Apes</em>
film (1968), Dr. Zaius and General Ursus lead a small group of soldiers
to the Forbidden Zone to destroy any remaining evidence of Taylor’s
time among them. To their surprise, they discover… a KONG! Now they must
travel to Skull Island to discover the truth, but they may not survive
the deadliest journey of their lives!<br /> <br /> “There's such a deep
mythology to both properties, especially if you consider all of the
amazing Kong and Apes comics that have come out in recent years,” said
Ryan Ferrier. “With this series, we've found a coherent, meaningful way
of having these two worlds and their legacies fold into each other. The
implications of the Ape civilization discovering the Kong world are
huge, and that's certainly on the forefront of the series.”<br /> <br /> Covers for <strong>Kong on the Planet of the Apes #1</strong> are illustrated by Mike Huddleston (<em>The Coffin</em>), series artist Carlos Magno, and movie poster artist Hans Woody.<br /> <br /> BOOM! Studios’ Kong comics are based on Joe DeVito’s <em>Skull Island</em> and Merian C. Cooper’s <em>King Kong</em>. The publisher recently completed a 12-issue series, <em>Kong of Skull Island</em>, written by James Asmus (<em>All-New Inhumans</em>) and illustrated by Carlos Magno.<br /> <br /> BOOM! Studios has been publishing <em>Planet of the Apes </em>comics
since 2011, the longest-running comic book adaptation of the property.
The publisher has produced comics based both on the original and current
series of films. It is currently publishing <em>War for the Planet of the Apes</em>, a four-issue series by David F. Walker (<em>Luke </em>Cage) and Jonas Scharf (<em>Warlords of Appalachia</em>), set before the Fox film.<br /> <br /> Print copies of <strong>Kong on the Planet of the Apes #1 </strong>will be available for sale in November at local comic book shops (to find a shop near you, visit <a href="http://boom-studios.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9d17c9217240226bbc79d6750&id=6f9e70f63a&e=edbc5273e6" style="color: maroon; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">comicshoplocator.com</a>)
or through the BOOM! Studios webstore. Digital copies will also be
available from comiXology, Kindle, iTunes, Google Play, and the BOOM!

series, including <em>Mighty Morphin Power Rangers</em>, <em>WWE</em>, <em>Big Trouble in Little China</em>, <em>Victor LaValle’s Destroyer</em>, <em>Godshaper</em>, <em>Grass Kings</em>, and <em>Klaus</em>.<br /> <br /> For news on <strong>Kong on the Planet of the Apes </strong>and more from BOOM!

<b id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502744473597_47580">Darryl "DMC" McDaniels</b>, a pioneer, icon, and founding member of the legendary rap group <b>Run-DMC</b>, brought his love for comics full circle with the creation of his very own independent publishing house called <b>Darryl Makes Comics</b>.
Already a hero to his millions of fans around the world, DMC's
accomplishments read like a laundry list of musical and cultural
accolades: Grammy-nominated musician, Emmy-winning life story,
multi-platinum recording artist, 2009 Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame inductee,
and rap/rock pioneer who influenced music the first time he touched a
mic. Before co-founding Run-DMC, DMC grew up reading comics and
developed a passion for them. "When I started with Run-DMC, I was a
nervous little nerdy kid," says DMC. "I didn't want to get up in front
of a crowd and rhyme; but what gave me confidence, out there on stage
was pretending that I was the Hulk on the microphone."</div>

In
2014 DMC's childhood passion came to fruition when he, along with his
Editor-in-Chief Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez and Senior Editor Riggs
Morales, teamed up with some prominent fixtures in the comic book world
to craft his first 48-page graphic novel, a 100% authentic,
unapologetic, indie comic book under the Darryl Makes Comics imprint.
The graphic novel, <i>DMC #1</i>, garnered critical praise and
attention when it debuted in 2014 featuring some of the comic industry's
finest talent. The story was created by DMC and Damion Scott (<i>Batman</i>, <i>Robin</i>, <i>Solo</i>), with Ronald Wimberly (Vertigo/DC, <i>Something Wicked This Way Comes</i>, <i>Prince of Cats</i>)
serving as creative consultant to develop the script. Each chapter is
visualized by different teams of artists, including Chase Conley (<i>Black Dynamite</i>), Jeff Stokely (<i>Six-Gun Gorilla</i>, <i id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502744473597_47592">The Reason for Dragons</i>), Felipe Smith (<i>Peepo Choo</i>, <i>Ghost Rider</i>), Mike & Mark Davis, the Mad Twiinz (<i>Black Dynamite</i>, <i>The Boondocks</i>), Shawn Crystal (<i>Arkham Manor</i>),
and colorist Chris Sotomayor, not to mention cover art from industry
legends Sal Buscema and Bob Wick, and graffiti pioneer MARE 139 (<i>Style Wars</i>).</div>

Set
in hip hop's revolutionary era of the 1980s, the first comic featured
DMC as a superhero fighting for justice in an alternate universe. Wild
Style-inspired graffiti covers every surface of this world, as the true
grit of pre-Giuliani New York is captured among the pages of this
graphic novel. In his second graphic novel, released December 2, 2015,
DMC returned and fulfilled his promise to expand the Darryl Makes Comics
universe! In it, readers met more heroes like LAK6, Sifu Horus, and The
Breaks! They are on the cusp of the b-boy hero movement but first they
must take on the status quo that has been misleading New York City.
Based on a story by Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Greg Pak (Marvel's <i>Totally Awesome Hulk</i>, DC's <i>Batman/Superman</i>), and Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez, written by Amy Chu (DC's <i>Poison Ivy</i>, <i>Sensation Comics' Wonder Woman</i>) and illustrated by an incredible roster of talent featuring Juan Doe (Marvel's <i>Wolverines</i>), Sung Goo Won (Cartoon Network's <i>Black Dynamite</i>), award-winning artist Afu Chan (Society of Illustrators 2012), Marcus Williams (Action Lab's <i>Hero Cats</i>) and Elliot Fernandez (DC's <i>Harley Quinn/Powergirl</i>), <i>DMC</i>
#2 features color art by Christopher Sotomayor and Eisner-winning
colorist Gabriel Bautista. The covers are art directed by Edgardo
Miranda- Rodriguez and illustrated by comic book industry giant Humberto
Ramos (Marvel's <i>Spider-Man</i>, <i>X-Men</i>) and graffiti king Bio of the Tats Cru, with color art by Edgardo Delgado (Marvel's <i>Spider-Man</i>), <i>DMC</i> #2 also offers a variant cover by comic book industry legend Bill Sienkiewicz and graffiti curator and artist Alan Ket.</div>

Darryl
Makes Comics is dedicated to the idea that every walk of life has
heroes and stories worth telling. "Hip hop was always based on
creativity," DMC says, "so what we're trying to do with this comic book
is not trying to create anything that's new; we're just going to show
the world what's already there...the beauty and the creativity of it."
DMC will be releasing his third issue in late 2017.</div>

PORTLAND,
OR, 08/08/2017 — Image Comics is pleased to announce that the
fan-favorite story ATOMAHAWK by Donny Cates (GOD COUNTRY, REDNECK), Ian
Bederman, and Taylor Esposito will be collected into a deluxe,
full-color, oversized edition and available this October.<br />

out-of-this-world adventure of the Cyberzerker and his mighty Atomahawk.

“<em>Atomahawk</em> is what we call an ‘UNBREAKABLE STORY.’ Meaning
anything can happen, and the story will remain in check, said Cates in
an interview with <em>Image+</em> magazine. “Time travel? Sure! Alien
Gladiator games set on a giant rotting Frankenstein body stranded in
space? Why not? We have SO MANY badass and insane ideas to show you all.
HE-MAN FRONTING IRON MAIDEN AS LEAD SINGER WITH THE VOLUME TURNED UP TO
LSD!!!! It's a lot of fun, folks!”<br />

PORTLAND,
OR, 08/08/2017 — Image Comics is pleased to announce THE DOOMSTER’S
MONOLITHIC POCKET ALPHABET, written by Theo Prasidis and illustrated by
Maarten Donders. The 64 page, full-color, pocket-sized, hardcover book
puts a cheeky spin on small illustrated books in the vein of Edward
Gorey’s <em>The Gashlycrumb Tinies</em> and Tim Burton’s <em>The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy</em> and will hit stores this November.<br />
<br />
In five decades of wretched existence, doom metal has evolved into a
vast orchard of unearthly delights. Bongs, goats, amps and a lot of
naked nuns, all collide into this stunningly visualized, whimsical,
mature-rated gift book. Explore the genre’s unholy rites with THE
DOOMSTER’S MONOLITHIC POCKET ALPHABET, the definitive illustrated
lexicon of all things doom. Or be doomed!<br />
<br />
"Watching our beloved genre grow exponentially in popularity over the
years, we decided to have a little fun with its clichés and inside
jokes. The result is a really special, ultra heavy little book and we
cannot wait to show it to the world. November is a time for DOOM!" said
Prasidis and Donders.<br />
<br />
THE DOOMSTER’S MONOLITHIC POCKET ALPHABET (ISBN: 978-1-5343-0595-3) will
hit stores on Wednesday, November 8th. The final order cutoff deadline
for comics retailers is Monday, October 9th.<br />
<br />
It will be available in bookstores on Tuesday, November 14th and can be pre-ordered now on <a href="http://imagecomics.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=23ff117928e9c67d4b80d4493&id=665e2de1cf&e=c48001570b" rel="nofollow" style="color: #cc1018; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">Amazon</a>, Barnes & Noble, IndieBound, and Indigo.</div>

While
frequently noted for their award-winning solo careers, both Mark
Wheatley and Marc Hempel are frequently reminded by fans of their
success as collaborators. <i>Tarzan</i>, <i>Jonny Quest</i>, <i>Titanic Tales</i>, and <i>Doctor Cyborg</i> are
just a few of their other projects together. Most recently, over the
past two years, they have fully restored their acclaimed Vertigo graphic
novel <i>Breathtaker</i> for Titan Comics. Additionally, they've
developed a companion touring show of the original art for the project
organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum. Long out of print, it was
originally serialized and then collected into a best-selling trade
paperback by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint 20 years ago, where it was a
best-seller. Their work, both together and separately was extensively
profiled in <i id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502744473597_42239">IS Art: The Art of Insight Studios</i>.</div>

"We
tell anyone who asks that the Baltimore Comic-Con remains one of the
most staunchly comic-centric conventions on the circuit. Yes, we're
biased toward our hometown show, but that doesn't explain the staying
power, the guest-to-fan ratio, and the amazing atmosphere of this
convention. The guest list just can't be beat by any other show of this
size or even many that are quite a bit bigger," said Mark Wheatley.
"We're extremely happy our big, annual gathering of the tribe happens
right here in Baltimore, and we're looking forward to making some great
announcements."</div>
