IDW offers The Last Resort

New five-issue mini series by Palmiotti and Gray launching in July

Six-page preview available here


immy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, writers of the hit series, Jonah Hex and Power Girl, are teaming up with IDW on a brand new, five-issue mini series. The Last Resort pays homage to 1970's disaster films and grindhouse classics with non-stop adrenalin, courtesy of flesh-eating bio waste victims and a bevy of sexy broads. Get a six-page sneak peak here!

"Jimmy and Justin, besides being fun to work with, are two of the best high-concept guys in comics," said IDW special projects editor, Scott Dunbier. "Their ideas are great and they know how to tell good stories."

Issue #1 of The Last Resort features amazing cover art from Darwyn Cooke, the series regular cover artist, and Amanda Conner, who provides a lovely variant. The entire series will be beautifully illustrated by Giancarlo Caracuzzo, who captures each gruesome moment and voluptuous figure with painstaking attention to detail.

Jimmy Palmiotti commented, "The Last Resort is just what I want after months of super hero comics. I want my comics: R-rated; I want my sexy broads topless and I want our characters to be regular Joes that will just about do any atrocious thing to stay live. The great thing about working with IDW is that, unlike most companies, they let us write whatever we want, and we went nuts with this book."

"The Last Resort is a mash up of all the genres that Jimmy and I love: the disaster flick, the monster movie, survival horror and the idea that people are more messed up than we'd like to admit," said Justin Gray. "The fact that all of this is set in what would be paradise makes it all the most entertaining. We're not trying to reinvent the wheel, sorry about that, but we are trying to entertain the equally sick-minded."

The Last Resort will be available in stores in July 2009. Diamond Previews catalog #MAY09 0921.

ZOMBIE TALES COMES BACK TO LIFE THIS JULY

ACADEMY AWARD-NOMINATED WRITER KIM KRIZAN'S
CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED
EPIC ZOMBIE SAGA
COLLECTED FOR THE FIRST TIME

The living dead walk among us! Zombies have taken over the planet! Humans only exist as novelty attractions… or worse. But today is the day of revolution and soon the tide will turn on undead supremacy!


Enter the world of ZOMBIE TALES 2061. From Academy Award-nomintated writer Kim Krizan (BEFORE SUNRISE, BEFORE SUNSET) comes an epic saga ripped from the pages of the critically acclaimed ZOMBIE TALES anthology and collected in one volume for the first time!

Best known for writing the generation definining romance movies BEFORE SUNRISE and BEFORE SUNSET, Krizan jumped into the horror genre with both feet, delivering a unique new vision of the zombie apocalypse for Zombie Tales: The Series #1. Originally planned as just an 8 pager and slotted between stories from more seasoned horror vets Steve Niles and Joe R. Lansdale, critics and fans spotlighted Krizan's freshman horror venture and clamored for a sequel. Krizan immediately expanded her Zombie universe into a triptych, finally collected in one easy reading volume with ZOMBIE TALES 2061.

"When horror tastemaker RUE MORGUE MAGAZINE begs for a sequel, you know you have a hit on your hands," said Publisher Ross Richie. "I really don't think people have seen as an original take on Zombies since Romero's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. That is how blown away I was by this book."

"It was great fun for me to write '2061' and it's an honor to have it collected," said ZOMBIE TALES writer Kim Krizan. "Though it seemed on the surface to be a light, fun project, it really gets to the heart of what I believe about our species. For me, zombie dominance is now!"

Outside garnering an Academy Award nomination for BEFORE SUNSET, Krizan also acted in the cult films SLACKER, DAZED AND CONFUSED and WAKING LIFE. Her turn as high school teacher Ginny Stroud in DAZED AND CONFUSED led her to speak the immortal lines "...this summer when you're being inundated with all this American bicentennial Fourth Of July brouhaha, don't forget what you're celebrating, and that's the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn't want to pay their taxes."

When asked about the rumor of a Zombified follow-up to the BEFORE SUNRISE franchise, Krizan had no comment.

ZOMBIE TALES 2061 features 24 pages of interior art by newcomer Jon Reed and a cover by Patrick McEvoy. SRP: $3.99, Diamond Order Code: MAY090726

TOP COW PR: Top Cow Announces Cyberforce/Hunter-Killer #1 in Stores on July 22nd

OPPOSING TOP COW TEAMS COLLIDE

CYBERFORCE/HUNTER-KILLER #1

Top Cow Productions, Inc. proudly announced today the crossover of Cyberforce and Hunter-Killer. Slated for a July 2009 release, Cyberforce/Hunter-Killer #1 is the first in a six issue limited series that pits each team against the other in a conflict.


The event follows hot on the heels of the recent events of Fusion, which crossed Cyberforce and Hunter-Killer against Marvel Comics’ Avengers and Thunderbolts.

Cyberforce/Hunter-Killer #1 is written by Mark Waid, who co-created Hunter-Killer with Top Cow CEO and founder Marc Silvestri in 2005. Artistic duties will be performed by Kenneth Rocafort, (Madame Mirage, Pilot Season: The Core) who drew the final four issues of the initial Hunter-Killer season.

Waid reveals why a match-up between Cyberforce and Hunter-Killer works so well, “The Hunter-Killers are all about distrust of the government and Cyberforce is all about the distrust of mega-corporations, and if there’s a more appropriate time in our history to address both issues, I can’t think of it.” Cyberforce/Hunter-Killer #1 will mark the first time the Hunter-Killer team is brought in fully into the proper Top Cow universe.

In an interview with Newsarama.com, Rocafort exclaimed, “This is a dream come true to draw one of my favorite teams of all time, Cyberforce. And to combine that with the characters of Hunter-Killer, which I love to draw, and working with Mark again, this is an exciting project for me.”

“Working with creators like Mark and Kenneth is a pure pleasure and makes my life easy because there’s very little to improve upon as an editor,” added Filip Sablik, Top Cow Publisher, “On the surface this may appear to be just a meeting of two teams, but astute readers will soon realize that Mark and Kenneth have added an incredible level of nuance and depth to the story.”

Cyberforce/Hunter-Killer #1 features two connected covers by Rocafort that display a showdown between the two teams when displayed side by side. A third cover variant by Mike Choi and Sonia Oback will also be offered.

Each issue of Cyberforce/Hunter-Killer will retail for $2.99 as part of Top Cow’s ongoing pledge to keep all of their regular comics priced at $2.99 for the duration of the 2009 calendar year. The first issue is slated to land in comic shops on July 22nd, 2009.

Penciled by RICH BUCKLER, MIKE ZECK, SAL BUSCEMA, RON WILSON & JOHN BYRNE
Cover by RICH BUCKLER
The MARVEL MASTERWORKS enter Phase Two of the Marvel Age of Comics with the debut of one of comics’ most unique heroes—Deathlok! No longer a man, but a mockery of a man, an amalgam of reanimated flesh and computer circuitry, military strategist Col. Luther Manning has been locked in a state of living death. Stripped of his family, his humanity, but not his will, Manning has become the cyborg, Deathlok the Demolisher—a weapon of war programmed solely for destruction. A challenging blend of science fiction and psychological war journal, Deathlok set the pace for anti-heroes in the turbulent post-Watergate ’70s. Illustrated by Rich Buckler and co-written by Doug Moench and Bill Mantlo, Deathlok’s feature in ASTONISHING TALES forged a new path and pushed the moral relevance of Marvel Comics into a bold, and often frightening, new future. Collected for the first time ever, the complete Deathlok saga, culminating in a classic cross-time adventure with Captain America, is a must-have for each and every discerning Marvel reader!

PUNISHER: DARK REIGN PREMIERE HC

Penciled by JEROME OPEÑA
Cover by MIKE MCKONE
It’s a fight against the “Dark Reign” as the duty of chronicling Frank Castle’s war journal is passed to the new team of writer Rick Remender (End League, Fear Agent) and Jerome Opeña (WOLVERINE, Fear Agent). One man with one bullet, in the right place, at the right time, can change the world. That’s why the Punisher is perched atop a building on the Jersey shore with a high-powered Skrull rifle, his crosshairs trained on a target in Midtown Manhattan. But who is his target -- and why? One thing’s for sure: They’re anything but helpless. Someone is watching their back. Someone big. Enter: The Sentry! Collecting PUNISHER #1-5

But the Purgatory Squadron has a trump card. Now stranded three days in their own past, they just might be able to return to Earth without notice.

In the wake of Ragnarok, and after awakening from the sleep of the gods, Thor has set about restoring Asgard to its former grandeur — making it more majestic, more magnificent than ever. He has revived countless fellow Norse gods, from the brave Balder to the voluminous Volstagg to the treacherous Loki. But what of Odin, the All-Father? Where is the lion of Norse legend, the son of Bor, the one who took a godhood of rambunctious rabble-rousers and made of them a pantheon without peer? Why is he yet to be awakened? The answer is a secret known only by the God of Thunder — a secret buried deep inside a soul filled with the kind of fear and humiliation only a son can feel in the immense shadow of his father. Though, as Loki’s master plan will soon attest, Thor is not the only one with a secret to share. Collecting THOR #7-12; #600

The Punisher always knew he’d die on the job. But he didn’t know he’d have an expiration date. After busting up a slave ring in downtown Philadelphia, Frank Castle has been tricked, trapped, gassed, strapped to a table and injected with a serum that will turn him into a 220-pound corpse by dawn -- six hours from now. The people who grabbed him want him to do a simple little job and then they’ll give him the antidote -- simple, right? Guess again. The Punisher is nobody’s errand boy. There’s only one thing he wants to do before he dies: Take as many bastards as he can with him. Plus: there’s nothing like fishing with friends, especially when you’re about to launch the biggest criminal deal of your careers. On the high seas, life is sweet. That is, until your engine explodes. And your boat sinks. And there’s no food or water. And the puking starts. And the backstabbing begins.

Fearing for their lives, Kiden flees with her roommates: Bobby Soul, an ex-gangster with the ability to inhabit people’s minds; Tatiana, a runaway with unusual transformative abilities; and the autistic
Lil’ Bro. Kiden is desperate to rescue Cameron — but when it becomes clear she’s being framed for the disappearance, she finds herself in the crosshairs of the police and S.H.I.E.L.D. Now, Kiden is back to where she started: on the streets and on the run. Collecting NYX: NO WAY HOME #1-6.
