Shadowman #1There’s a million dreams in the Big Easy. But now its worst nightmare is about to come true. As the forces of darkness prepare to claim New Orleans as their own, Jack Boniface must embrace the legacy he was born to uphold. As Shadowman, Jack is about to become the only thing that stands between his city and an army of unspeakable monstrosities from beyond the night. But is the mantle of Shadowman a blessing or a curse? And what is the true cost of his otherworldly power? $2.99 PSI Division: Fear the DarknessShe knows what you’re thinking… In a bleak future overrun with crime, Psi-Judge Cassandra Anderson and the PSI Division utilise their extraordinary abilities to protect the city from dangerous psychic criminals. Six felons have died in Sector House 12 – burned to death in the holding-cubes in mysterious circumstances. Called in to psychically read the crime scene, Psi-Judge Anderson encounters ever-increasing signs that a malignant psychic presence is at work. As her investigation unfolds, something dark prepares to strike from the shadows. Prepare yourself for a tense and intriguing investigation that will blow your mind. $5.99 The Uniques Tales Volume 1The Uniques Tales is a companion short story series to The Uniques, featuring characters and events from throughout the Uniques universe – past, present, and perhaps even future. In 1939, the first person with superhuman powers was discovered. Since then, these “Uniques” have made an indelible mark on society. Some have become heroes and villains, icons and legends, while others have simply wanted normal lives like anyone else. Collected herein are the first chapters of the Uniques Tales—stories spanning more than a half century, telling the history of the uniques and of our relationship with them. From a lonely Irish cliff side to a quiet Los Angeles hospital bed; from the McCarthy era to civil rights marches; from the second World War to the Cold War—these are the stories that shaped the world of The Uniques. Husband and Wife creators Comfort Love and Adam Withers team up with a collection of amazing creative talent from across the comic spectrum to bring you the first volume of The Uniques Tales, telling the history of a world where the super is common, but heroes are not. $2.99 Helsing: Legacy BornShe was born into a legacy that she wants no part of. She bears the mantle of a special family who have devoted their lives in a secret war against creatures who are said not to exist…but they do. Samantha Helsing must struggle with her birthright as she seeks out the mysterious organization of the Tophet. The members of the Tophet hold a terrible secret which Samantha is not only part of, but wants to destroy. The only problem is that Samantha can’t remember her past beyond the last three years and the only memory she has of her husband, is the dead face that is etched into her mind. Featuring the artwork of X-Men’s John Lowe, Guy Davis, and early work from Batman’s Don Kramer. $4.99 |
