TRILLIUM #2
WRITTEN, ILLUSTRATED & COVER
BY JEFF LEMIRE
In the heart of the Amazon jungle, Nika, a scientist from the year 3797, and William, an explorer from 1921, struggle not only to survive but to make sense of the mind-bending events that have pulled them together across space and time. The mysteries continue to pile up as Vertigo's new sci-fi epic launches into high gear!
"Jeff Lemire has rapidly become a Canadian literary treasure since his work on Essex County. He's been on our list of writers that you should read everything they produce for quite sometime and he should be on your list as well. The next Alan Moore or Grant Morrison? Only time will tell but the man's creativity if it continues will undoubtedly reserve him a seat at that table."
GOD IS DEAD #1
(MATURE CONTENT)
(MATURE CONTENT)
WRITTEN BY JONATHAN HICKMAN & MIKE COSTA
ILLUSTRATED BY DI AMORIM
WITH A COVER BY JONATHAN HICKMAN
Like a thunderbolt from heaven, the epic launch issue of GOD IS DEAD is here! East of West and Fantastic Four author JONATHAN HICKMAN launches a fierce new series that stomps where others fear to tread. Mankind has argued over the existence of gods since the dawn of time. In modern eras it's been fashionable to mock religious believers with taunts of scientific testimony and fact. But when the gods of old begin to reappear on earth and claim the domain of man for their own, the world is thrown into a state of utter anarchy. Now Horus walks the streets of Egypt, Zeus has taken over the Sistine Chapel, and Odin is coordinating the dissection of the earth among the returned deities. Mankind held sway over the world for thousands of years and their hubris over that time has made them powerful but when faced with the divine, can mortal weapons put an end to the second coming of the gods? Available with a Regular cover by Jonathan Hickman, End of Days cover by super-star Jacen Burrows, a premium Iconic cover by Burrows that features a card stock cover and is limited to just 5000 copies, and a Pantheon Order Incentive cover by series artist Di Amorim.
"Avatar produces yet another controversial title, but for the first time with Jonathan Hickman. Marvel would not dare to publish a title like this. Hickman has been controversial in the face of political correctness in the past and he should be appreciated for it. He is not controversial for the sake of it and is unflinching in his need to tell a story truly and properly. It's amazing he's been able to exist quite successfully at Marvel as a result or at least so far. Please checkout his brilliant masterpieces Manhattan Projects, Nightly News and Pax Romana through Image Comics."
HIT #1 (MATURE CONTENT)
WRITTEN BY BRYCE CARLSON, ILLUSTRATED BY VANESA R. DEL REY WITH A COVER BY RYAN SOOK
"JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE PROVEN GUILTY...DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE INNOCENT."
WHY WE LOVE IT: We're suckers for classic film noir, crime comics, and pulp detective novels.
We love the secret history of law enforcement in our hometown, Los Angeles. Mostly, we love
stories about good men making hard decisions in unforgiving circumstances.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: HIT is a dark crime drama filled with murderers, rapists, and drug
lords...and the men who will stop at nothing to bring them to justice. If you're a fan of
CRIMINAL, PARKER, and TUMOR, then HIT is the series for you.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: Los Angeles. It's 1955. It's dark; it's sexy. It's dangerous. Everyone has
an angle. And while infamous gangster Mickey Cohen rots in a prison cell, Los Angeles ignores
the blackest parts of the city's heart...where clandestine groups of LAPD detectives moonlight
as sanctioned hitmen knows as "Hit Squads."

REALITY CHECK #1
WRITTEN BY GLEN BRUNSWICK & ILLUSTRATED/COVER BY PAUL LITTLE
A struggling artist, Willard Penn, scores an unlikely hit with his new comic. The story centers on a hero more concerned with his libido than serving justice. After an unexpected sell out, Willard can't recall anything about his story. That night the book's hero shows up outside Willard's window refusing to return to the comic until he finds true love. Exasperated, Willard is forced to help the lovesick hero meet the perfect woman. But he'll need to hurry because the book's villain, a homicidal maniac, has entered his world as well.
"Another gem from Image Comics. Amazing ideas being developed at Image that DC and Marvel just don't find themselves pursuing anymore. Keep it coming Image."
FOREVER EVIL #1
WRITTEN BY GEOFF JOHNS
& ILLUSTRATED/COVER BY DAVID FINCH
The first universe-wide event of The New 52 begins as FOREVER EVIL launches! The Justice League is DEAD! And the villains shall INHERIT the Earth! An epic tale of the world's greatest super-villains starts here!
"This is just down right evil but in a good way. The appearance of Ted Kord in the new 52 and the demise of Nightwing? Hopefully Johns can carry the potential of the first issue to the end of the series."
SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #17
WRITTEN BY DAN SLOTT
& ILLUSTRATED/COVER BY RYAN STEGMAN
HE'S BACK...BECAUSE YOU (LOUDLY) DEMANDED IT! THE RETURN OF SPIDEY 2099! (and an Osborn you have not seen in a while).
"A Spidey title has never been this much fun as Ryan Stegman is proving to be the best Spider-man artist in quite some time. This issue features a direct tie in to Age of Ultron and the pretense for a battle next issue we've waited 86 years for; Spider-Man vs. Spider-Man 2099. It's a good time to be a Spider-man fan."
UNTIL NEXT WEEK, LIVE IT LIKE YOU LOVE IT!
