MINI-MARVELS creator Chris Giarrusso brings back his creator owned hit in G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS!G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS, an all-new mini-series by MINI-MARVELS' cartoonist Chris Giarrusso, brings back everyone's favorite kid friendly superhero to the Image Universe this August!
"Getting to work on G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS has been a long time coming," Giarrusso said. "I had a great time working on MINI-MARVELS while it lasted, but I've also had some G-MAN stories I've wanted to tell for a while. Short MINI-MARVELS back-up strips are always fun, but with G-MAN, I finally have the opportunity to tell brand new full-length feature stories in full comics. This is the most ambitious project I've ever worked on. Fans of the kid super hero stuff I did in MINI MARVELS will be sure to enjoy the all-new kid super hero stuff I'm doing in G-MAN. The writing style and art style are identical - it's the same writer and artist, after all! I'm having a blast, and I hope MINI MARVELS fans will take a chance and check it out."
G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS begins shortly after the ending to the upcoming G-MAN: LEARNING TO FLY digest, with pieces of G-MAN’s magic cape falling into the wrong hands and things spinning out of control. G-MAN and his friends must battle to recover the pieces, but this time, the bad guys have the same powers as G-MAN! The five issue mini-series will shed a whole new light on the G-MAN universe with friends old and new coming to the fold for his biggest adventure yet.
Image Comics Publisher Eric Stephenson added, "Chris' sense of humor and cartooning give G-MAN an appeal to both children and adults alike akin to Pixar's INCREDIBLES or WALL*E. We're very proud to have G-MAN as part of the Image Comics library."
G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS #1, a 32-page full color comic book mini-series for $2.99, will be in-stores August 12th, 2009. G-MAN: LEARNING TO FLY (MAR092415), a 96-page full color digest-sized softcover for $9.99, will be in-stores May 20th, 2009.

SPRING BRINGS NEW FREE COMICS FROM TOP COW
DARKNESS #77 HEADLINES MAYS LET US WIN YOU OVER PROMOTION
Publisher unveils 25 participating retailers for month of May
Top Cow Productions, Inc. revealed today the names of the participating retailers in their Let Us Win YOU Over initiative for May and the next free issue in the program The Darkness #77.
The Let Us Win YOU Over initiative is a yearlong campaign by Top Cow Productions to give out free copies of its regular comics to potential fans in the U.S. and Canada through participating comic book stores. Each month, a different set of stores, each month a different free comic. The stores vary by geography and demographics. Top Cow has partnered with ComicsPRO to bring this promotion to fans and the majority of Mays retailers are members of ComicsPRO.
The Darkness #77 finds the titular character, Jackie Estacado fighting for his life against an ancient djinn protecting a mysterious and enchanting woman. The issue also finds Jackie confronting a mysterious new character who claims to have been a previous Darkness bearer and reveals something to Estacado that will send him on a new dangerous path. Regular writer Phil Hester writes the story with art by ongoing artist Michael Broussard. The issue will be in comic shops on Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 and normally retails for $2.99.
Hester and Broussard re-launched The Darkness to a ton of critical and fan acclaim so we wanted to spotlight their talents in one of their newest issues. Both guys have come a long way since their first arc Empire and with new colorist, Arif Prianto on board this issue really shines, said Filip Sablik, Publisher of Top Cow. This issue has it all action, an ancient mystery, compelling characters and choices, and of course beautiful art.
Top Cow rocks! It's great to see them reaching out to new readers with this awesome promotion, exclaimed Neal Rhone of Boomerang Comics Lewisville, TX, Readers make weekly decisions on what titles they will pick up, this is the perfect way for everyone to try some something new.
The single most effective marketing tool we have as retailers is getting a comic book directly into the reader's hands, commented Mike Banks of Samurai Comics in Phoenix, AZ, Top Cow is allowing us to take this one step further by allowing us to get their comics into the reader's hands, AND letting them take the book home with them... for free!
Top Cow is doing an excellent job of reinvigorating its' core titles! Darkness has an intriguing storyline portrayed with exceptional art. I look forward to sharing this book with new readers, added Ernie Pelletier of Friendly Neighborhood Comics in Bellinghma, MA.
A list of the participating retailers during the month of May (listed alphabetically by state) is included below. Additional information can be found at the official online home of the Let Us Win YOU Over initiative www.topcow.com/freecomics.

Darick Robertson is the co-creator of Transmetropolitan. After 20 years in the industry he can easily be considered a seasoned veteran of comics, having worked for Marvel, DC, Vertigo, and a few now defunct companies, such as Malibu Comics (where he co-created and designed the Nightman, and wrote and created Ripfire), Acclaim, Eclipse and Innovation. At 21 he broke into the mainstream with his work on Justice League for DC Comics. From there he went on to work for Marvel on Wolverine, Spider-man and most notably the New Warriors; A two year run with Fabian Nicieza, who in his own way was partially responsible for bringing Darick and Warren together on the project for Acclaim comics “The Man Of The Atom”, which lead Warren to choose Darick as his co-creator for Transmetropolitan. Transmetropolitan came about as a meeting of the minds for Darick and Warren.In 2002 his projects included the launch of the Marvel Max line with the title “Fury” written by Garth Ennis, which Rolling Stone magazine picked as the “cool comic of the year”. Also in 2002 was Spiderman: Sweet Charity written by TV veteran Ron Zimmerman.In May of 2002 Robertson went exclusive with Marvel comics and was picked to relaunch one of their flagship characters WOLVERINE, with writer Greg Rucka. He followed it with the critically acclaimed “Punisher: BORN” mini series with Garth Ennis and the first solo Nightcrawler series with play-write Roberto Aguirre Sacasa. In 2006 Darick resigned from his exclusivity at Marvel to do a new creator owned series with longtime friend and collaborator Garth Ennis entitled “the Boys”. DC/Wildstorm comics offered an exclusive contract to keep him tied down while he creates the first ongoing series for which he will design, pencil, ink and create the covers.In a storm of controversy, Wildstorm/DC cancelled “The Boys” after 6 issues and the title resumed with Dynamite! publishing in June of 2007
He agreed to answer 5 Quick Questions.
1) What would you say is your greatest achievement in comics?
At this point I feel most proud of co-creating two series, Transmetropolitan and The BOYS, with two excellent writers. Two writers whom i came up through the industry with, and to have those series both be regarded with Eisner nominations and other awards, as well as being lucrative. It's one thing to achieve some attention and success with Wolverine or Spider-man, and another altogether to be a part of something that you designed and help create.
2) Who was your favorite writer or artist that you worked with & why?
It's difficult to pick a favorite as it implies something about those you don't pick. I have been fortunate to work with many great writers. I would say any writer I've done a significant amount of titles or runs with is a writer I respect and love to work with.
3) What character you have never worked .., would you like to do & why?
It would probably be Batman, although I've done little things here and there. Batman, because I love the character, it was my first super hero favorite and he has great villains.
4) Who are your influences?
I have many, but I usually list Brian Bolland as my main influence, Neal Adams, Ross Andru, Jose Garcia Lopez, David Mazzuchelli, John Romita Jr, Dave Gibbons, Adam Hughes, Keving Maguire...
5) What hero or villain would you like to change if you could and why?
Firestorm, because I loved the original concept so much that I think DC missed a great opportunity to have their own Spider-man had Ronnie Raymond stayed the way he was originally conceived and then see the character grow up with the power, like Peter Parker didi with Spider man. I'm sure what's been done is cool in it's own way, but that's what I would do with it, if given the chance.
