The
magic is back!
ARROWSMITH
Welcome
to the world of Fletcher Arrowsmith…a world very much like our own, but
with one big difference: In his world, tales of folklore and legend —
wizards, trolls, dragons, magic — are real! It’s 1915, the world is at
war, and Fletcher aims to stay alive!
ARROWSMITH
is a 6-issue Cliffhanger! miniseries that reunites the acclaimed Avengers
team of writer Kurt Busiek (ASTRO CITY: LOCAL HEROES) and artists Carlos
Pacheco & Jésus Meriño (JLA/JSA: VIRTUE & VICE)
to create a coming-of-age story set in a magical new world filled with
exciting new characters!
Join
teenager Fletcher Arrowsmith as he runs away from home and takes his first
faltering steps into a confusing world, shedding his romantic illusions
as he discovers the dangers of unstable alliances and ancient, unleashed
evil. World War I is just getting under way, and more advanced weaponry
and armament are proving to be as important as magical power and creatures.
Arrowsmith
needs to choose sides in the struggle, but he soon realizes that if the
so-called good guys win, the world will be forever changed. But will it
be for better or worse? Will he be able to find his place — and himself
— in this world?

project is supported by house and trade ads, a full-color poster, a preview

What
if man wasn’t the first intelligent species on Earth?
EXTINCTION EVENT
Since
mankind took its first faltering steps from the primordial ooze, staking
a claim as master of this planet, we’ve always believed we were Earth’s
most advanced species.
We
were wrong.
EXTINCTION
EVENT is a 5-issue miniseries from WildStorm Productions written
by popular science fiction author Robert Weinberg (The Science of
Super-Heroes, Nightside) with art and covers by Brett Booth
(THUNDERCATS: THE DOGS OF WAR) that explores the idea that man was preceded
by a more technically advanced civilization. And now they’re back.
When a massive earthquake in the Texas desert unearths evidence of such
a civilization, the government recruits a team of specialists to discover
the origins of this advanced race and learn what happened to them. But
these questions soon take a back seat to a more immediate concern — one
that will turn this mission into an adventure of Jurassic proportions!
Over
65 million years ago, mutated, intelligent raptors ruled the globe. When
they discovered that a gigantic meteor was on a collision course with
Earth, they tunneled far beneath the planet’s surface and entered cryogenic
sleep, planning to return once the globe had recovered. But their wake-up
mechanism failed and the dinosaurs slept…until now. They've awakened,
and they want their world back.
Three
men and three women are now all that stands between intelligent, carnivorous
dinosaurs and the survival of humanity. It's going to be an extinction
event — but for which species?

For
these demons, it’s all about souls!
THE POSSESSED
Last
year over 765 cases of demonic possession were reported. Already this
year, that number has doubled.
Welcome
to the demon-infested world of THE POSSESSED, a 6-issue
Homage Comics miniseries from the fertile mind of writers Geoff Johns
(JSA, THE FLASH) & Kris Grimminger (Witchblade) and artist
Liam Sharp (GLOBAL FREQUENCY, The Incredible Hulk)!
Since
the dawn of mankind, spirits and demons of hellish origin have infested
the Earth through the possession of human hosts. The world’s religions
have striven to develop a means to combat this evil: exorcism. But today,
the battle for a soul's salvation must take on a new, militant form. With
a combination of ancient tools and advanced, technological firepower,
an elite group of men and women face these unseen horrors without hesitation
— an army of exorcists in soldiers' clothing, putting their souls on the
line for all humanity.
As
children, each of them was possessed. As adults, they have become our
world's greatest force against the evils of the afterlife. They have become…The
Possessed

RED
Everyone
has a talent…a special ability or proficiency to be exploited or used
for personal gain. Some people possess artistic or athletic talent…but
Paul Moses has a talent for murder.
RED,
an explosive 3-issue Homage Comics miniseries written by the critically
acclaimed Warren Ellis (PLANETARY, ORBITER) with art by Cully Hamner (THE
AUTHORITY), tells the tale of Paul Moses, a man whose taste for violence
was matched only by his ability to dish it out.
As
a C.I.A. operative, Moses made use of his unique talents for a lifetime,
shuttling around the world from one hotspot to the next, dealing justice
in its harshest form. Then he retired, content to live out his remaining
years in peace. Moses thought he could put it all behind him. Moses was
wrong.
When
a new administration takes over the White House, it brings about a political
change that directly affects the C.I.A. The new regime decides Moses knows
too much, and has to die…but killing him is easier said than done. Don’t
miss this action-packed story of survival and revenge!
