ZERO #2 -- One of our favorite new IMAGE titles of the year continues this Wednesday!
We were literally blown away by how freakin' much we dug the first issue of Image's new series, ZERO, with it's innovative storytelling techniques, it's non-stop action-oriented storytelling, and the premise of an ongoing series that features one-shot stories surrounding the mysterious Agent Zero.
In this week's ZERO #2, it's the year 2019, and Edward Zero is in shanghai.

Last Fall, Batman: DEATH OF THE FAMILY, was one of the biggest storylines going, and it's no surprise why: Scott Snyder & Greg Capullo brought the Joker back in a way that was truly frightening.

THE BLACK BEETLE VOL.1 NO WAY OUT ARRIVES THIS WEDNESDAY, COLLECTING FRANCESCO FRANCAVILLA'S INCREDIBLE DARK PULP HERO EPIC!
We're HUGE fans of Francesco Francavilla, and his incredible artwork on series like BATMAN: THE BLACK MIRROR, so when we saw he had his own thing coming out last year with THE BLACK BEETLE, we knew it was going to rock.
In THE BLACK BEETLE: NO WAY OUT, after witnessing an explosion that decimates the city's organized crime community, killing dozens, the Black Beetle -- Colt City's sleuthing sentinel -- is on the hunt for answers and justice.
Follow Francesco Francavilla's critically acclaimed pulp hero as he searches island prisons, dank sewers, and swanky nightclubs for the mysterious man known as Labyrinto.
Lush, gorgeous noir-charged artwork blend perfectly with an atmospheric mystery that immerses you completely in the story.

Image Comics's NOWHERE MEN returns this Wednesday with NOWHERE MEN #6 -- The Beauty and the Horror of SCIENCE!
In NOWHERE MEN, Science IS the NEW ROCK'N'ROLL, and we're loving every second of it.
Meet Dade Ellis, Simon Grimshaw, Emerson Strange and Thomas Walker, who at the dawn of a new age of enlightenment, ushered in a boom in scientific advancement that caused every kid in a garage with a drum kit to trash their snare, and start splitting atoms.
Now, decades later, in a world that's quickly become science-obsessed, with generations of kids growing up learning the art of physics instead of the art of power chords; science is the be all and end all.
It brings great beauty, and great horror.
And, the NOWHERE MEN are who we thank for that; they changed the world -- and we loved them for it.
But, where did it all go wrong? And, when progress is made at any and all costs, who ultimately pays the price?

If you took everything that was great about epic fantasy like A GAME OF THRONES, mixed it with modern sci-fi dramas like BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and FIREFLY, and then dropped it smack dab in the middle of the MARVEL UNIVERSE: you'd get GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY.
In this week's #7, the mysterious Angela has joined the team, and the massive effects of Infinity begin to rise, as the galaxy's most mismatched heroes find themselves at a crossroads!

BUSHIDO #3 -- THE SAMURAI VS. VAMPIRE MAYHEM CONTINUES!
As huge samurai fans, anytime we get a chance to get our samurai fix in comics -- we're usually pretty stoked.

This new IMAGE COMICS mini-series, which has been running as a weekly, has had us hooked in a big way.

Meet Kichiro. He's an outsider in feudal Japan. Lacking the Japanese blood that would allow him to become a samurai, Kichiro must fulfill his dreams of serving the shogun in a less traditional manner.. by eliminating every foreign supernatural threat that rears it's fangs.

Pure Samurai vs. Vampire bloodshed and awesomeness, we give BUSHIDO a thumbs-up, folks. Give it a shot!

In issue #19, the moment that changes the world of SPIDER-MAN... and the MARVEL UNIVERSE for years to come.

Is the Superior Spider-Man responsible for such a thing, or is it Spider-Man 2099?

This incredible creator-owned series tells the thrilling tale of Quinn, who has been left orphaned by an invasion of his homeland. Now, he and other lost villagers run headfirst into a conflict and world that is much bigger and fantastic than they could possibly imagine.
