DEAD BODY ROAD [(W) Justin Jordan (A/CA) Matteo Scalera, Moreno DiNisio]DEAD BODY ROAD 

[(W) Justin Jordan (A/CA) Matteo Scalera, Moreno DiNisio]

Image comics crime story.


You remember them, surely?  From the Sandman.










Another Chance to get #0, this time with bonus content and new cover art.


Hulk drawn by one of the greatest super-hero artists the industry has ever known. It's got the original X-Men in it too.


New Templesmith (and friends), 'nuff said.


New from the writer of The Walking Dead.  Sure to be a hit (someone has already just tried to buy 15 copies from the website).


All of Sin City in one HUGE book. Eighty quid might seem expensive but it's less than the combined price of the seven paperbacks.


Geoff Johns, you like him, don't you?  John Romita Jr, you never expected him to be drawing DC Comics, did you?

CHARLES SCHULZ PEANUTS ARTIST ED HC

[(W/A/CA) Charles M. Schulz]

Peanuts as you've never seen it before unless you've had the opportunity to see Charles Shultz' original art boards


Based on some sort of video game that I hear is popular with the kids these days.



See that Frank Quitely? no, it's not his real name. Here's a big gorgeous book of his art, even thicker than the Brian Bolland and Adam Hughes books they did.

Pinnochio vs vampires. He lies then uses his nose as a stake.  'nuff said.


Sex Criminals is back.  This is the first issue after the vol 1 trade paperback. No more excuses.

Based on Harlan Elison's original version of the story.


Kaluta in big format.  It's gorgeous and has naked ladies in it.


Remember when you liked Hellblazer?  Well, this is much more like Hellblazer than DC's current Constantine series.  Give it a try.


Gillen, McKelvie, Image Comics.
