Online Entertainment’s award-winning EverQuest is the most
successful online fantasy role-playing game ever — with over
400,000 subscribers! Now WildStorm Productions is proud to present a brand
new tale of this amazing world in EVERQUEST: THE RUINS OF KUNARK —

MR. MAJESTIC
TRADE PAPERBACK
He
may be one of the most powerful characters in the WildStorm Universe. He's

old.

of their cosmic champion in MR. MAJESTIC, a 176-page trade paperback
collecting the first six mind-blowing issues of MR. MAJESTIC —

art of SUPERMAN penciller Ed McGuinness (who provides a new cover) & inker
Jason Martin (Battle Chasers).

MR.
MAJESTIC has it all: a time-bending tot; an intergalactic prison break; a
harem of seductive outer-space ultravixens; and the most ambitious,
largest-scale game of hide-and-seek in the history of the entire known and
unknown universe! Join Mr. Majestic — with special guests Ladytron and
Junior Majestic — on this tale of star faring high adventure!

OUT THERE #7
The
hottest new ongoing series from CLIFFHANGER! continues with the start of a
brand-new storyline! The 6-part "The Road to El Dorado" begins in OUT
THERE #7, written by Brian Augustyn with art and cover by superstar
artist Humberto Ramos & Sandra Hope.
It's
a new day and Zach, Jess, Casey, and Mark are still recovering from the
tragic events that have engulfed them, as their hometown of El Dorado City
is now gone. The four teens, along with Reverend Becky and Abel, have
taken to the road in the Grace Church bus. But as they drive the backwoods
of the California and Nevada desert, our heroes can only wonder about the
unique and special powers they were granted. It's a great responsibility
placed on their shoulders, and they'll use their gifts in order to bring
their home back to where it used to be.
Only
Draedalus' goblin underlings can provide some clues, offering some kind of
key to the limbo that El Dorado City is in. But first, our heroes must
find the goblins to get any answers. Does El Dorado City even still
exist, somewhere in the dark realm? Can our young heroes get back to it
and save their friends and families? As their quest begins they find
sanctuary in the town of Purgatory — a sad speck of dust that is home to
Max Ostrow, the comic-book creator behind the prophetic "Damn Nation." But
Purgatory is also infested by the hordes of Draedalus!
OUT
THERE #7 is a 32-page issue from CLIFFHANGER! PRODUCTIONS edited by Scott
Dunbier, arriving in comic-book stores December 26 with a cover price of
$2.50 U.S.
