Bestselling artist Declan Shalvey (Moon Knight, the upcoming INJECTION) adds punch to Mark Millar and Duncan Fegredo’s MPH for issue #5 with a dramatic variant. The Shalvey cover features color by Jordie Bellaire, and promises an explosive conclusion to the speed-enhanced storyline.

In MPH #5, the gang’s down to their last MPH pills and their speed powers are running on empty just as the Feds close in. Will they have enough juice to make it through a final showdown? And, at last, we learn what makes the mysterious Mr. Springfield so dangerous. This is an epic finale readers won’t see coming!

MPH follows a group of hard-luck youth in Motor City after they stumble upon a street drug called MPH that grants them the power of super speed. A high-octane urban adventure, MPH brings you super-speed like you’ve never seen before!

Donald Duck #1 launches in May, Mickey Mouse #1 in June, and in July, Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories will maintain the original numbering and launch with #721 as the first IDW issue. “The chance to bring Disney comics to fans, both old and new, is a fantastic opportunity,” said IDW editor Sarah Gaydos. “We cannot wait to get these into the hands of readers!” All four premiere issues will offer 48 pages of content for $3.99, with subsequent issues offering 40 pages per issue for that same cover price. “It’s the best bargain in the business,” said IDW archival editor David Gerstein. “No wonder it’s attracted Scrooge McDuck!

THE AUTUMNLANDS: TOOTH & CLAW REVEALS KARL KERSCHL VARIANT COVER
The fourth issue of the fantasy epic from Busiek and Dewey will feature a special variant cover

THE AUTUMNLANDS: TOOTH & CLAW, the bestselling fantasy epic from writer Kurt Busiek (Marvels, Astro City), artist Benjamin Dewey (I Was the Cat, Tragedy Series), Eisner-winning colorist Jordie Bellaire (THE MANHATTAN PROJECTS, PRETTY DEADLY), and letterer John Roshell of Comicraft, will feature the bold and enchanting artwork of Karl Kerschl (Gotham Academy, The Abominable Charles Christopher).

“I've been a huge fan of Karl Kerschl's for years,” said Busiek. “Not only is he a brilliant artist, but in Charles Christopher, he's proved that he can draw animals more expressively that just about anyone—he's up there with Walt Kelly. So I was thrilled he was up for doing an AUTUMNLANDS cover, and his portrait of Councillor Sandorst is so perfect Ben Dewey said Karl should take over the book. I think we'll stick with Ben, but damn, that's a sweet cover...!”

In THE AUTUMNLANDS: TOOTH & CLAW #4, with the Great Champion out of the way, the city is vulnerable to Goodfoot's machinations.

TOOTH AND CLAW #4 (Diamond Code DEC140770) will be available on 2/18. Cover by Kerschl will be available with Diamond Code DEC148186.

A LOST SON RETURNS IN IMAGE/SKYBOUND’S BIRTHRIGHT

Epic fantasy meets real life in series by Williamson and Bressan

In March’s BIRTHRIGHT from Image Comics/Skybound, the Rhodes have lived through every parent’s worst fear — their young son Mikey disappeared one year ago. Now, as their family disintegrates and hope fades, Mikey returns, but nothing could have prepared them for who he is now. Snatched from his life by beings from another world, Mikey became a hero whose destiny was to save the land of Terrenos. A grown man hardened by battles with dragons, trolls, and evil mages, Mikey is back to save Earth from the same peril that threatened Terrenos in this series by Joshua Williamson (NAILBITER, GHOSTED) and Andrei Bressan that turns fantasy into reality. In an interview with Comic Book Resources, Williamson spoke about the emotional core of BIRTHRIGHT. “Can you imagine losing a child? That is the scariest thing in the world to me,” he said. “The Unknown. The life lost. But then it brings the question of, what would you do to get that child back? How far would you go to get the kid back, and to keep the kid…. “As much as this book is about the drama, and fantasy aspects, it's really about family and loss,” he added. BIRTHRIGHT, VOLUME 1 will be in comic book stores on March 4 and in bookstores on March 17. It is specially priced at $9.99 and available for pre-order now.

BIRTHRIGHT, VOLUME 1: HOMECOMING by Joshua Williamson and Andrei Bressan (colors by Adriano Lucas) ISBN 978-1-63215-231-2 Diamond Comic order code JAN150622 128 pages, paperback, color $9.99 Collects BIRTHRIGHT #1-5 Rated Teen Plus In comic book stores March 4, bookstores March 17

Praise for BIRTHRIGHT: "One of the best new books on the block, marrying inventive fantasy with compelling drama." –Jeff Lake, IGN “[Williamson and Bressan] have managed to build not just a compelling fantasy world – something incredibly hard to do in comics – but added a depth of intrigue to the real world story as well as effectively capture the joyous reuniting of a family after a terrible loss.” –Cody Mudge, Capeless Crusader “Joshua Williamson takes a fantastical premise (a modern child lost to time and space, returning to the present from a barbaric fantasy era) and applies a strong sense of family and brotherhood to the proceedings. Andrei Bressan’s serious, harrowing art helps craft the illusion.” –Vince Ostrowski, Multiversity Comics “...an emotionally powerful story with great characters that is instantly compelling.” –Nick Couture, Comicosity

Congressman John Lewis Recruits Another Generation to MARCH with New Graphic Novel January 21, 2015 “With March, Congressman John Lewis takes us behind the scenes of some of the most pivotal moments of the Civil Rights Movement. In graphic novel form, his first-hand account makes these historic events both accessible and relevant to an entire new generation of Americans.” — LEVAR BURTON "Essential reading... March is a moving and important achievement." — USA Today "Riveting." — O, The Oprah Magazine An astonishingly accomplished graphic memoir." — NPR "Visually stunning… This insider’s view of the civil rights movement should be required reading for young and old; not to be missed."— School Library Journal (starred review) John Lewis has been many things in his career: a civil rights activist, a featured speaker at the March on Washington, a leader of the "Bloody Sunday" march in Selma, a respected member of Congress, a recipient of the Medal of Freedom, and a worldwide symbol of the power of nonviolent protest. With his latest project, he's added "#1 bestselling author," as his multi-part graphic novel autobiography, March, has become a smash success. Today, the long-awaited March Book Two reaches store shelves, poised to be even bigger than its predecessor — and perhaps even more relevant to this day and age. With March: Book Two, Congressman Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell give us a first-hand experience of milestone events that transformed the nation, including the 1961 Freedom Rides and the 1963 March on Washington. At a time when, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the majority of states earn a D or F grade in teaching the Civil Rights Movement to their young people, March has quickly become a key resource for schools, libraries, activists, and the general reader. It’s been adopted in classrooms nationwide, spent 40 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List, and even become the first graphic novel to win a Robert F. Kennedy Book Award. What's more, three major universities have planned their freshman orientations around March, compelling 15,000 students nationwide to read and discuss it in a single month. Why a graphic novel? Because John Lewis remembers the impact that a 1957 comic book "Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story" had on him and his whole generation, inspiring them to take up nonviolence and join the civil rights movement. Now he's having the same impact on young people today. As America continues to grapple with issues of race and the legacy of the civil rights movement, March offers an unforgettable success story and a way forward — one that's already been embraced by countless readers who are looking for hope today. Congressman John Lewis is an international icon, and his story is now more essential than ever. See why this project has become such a phenomenon — join the March!
