Cinema Purgatorio #1
-We’ve said it before but it’s no less true now, when Alan Moore (Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Batman: The Killing Joke) launches a new project it’s worth reading.
-An anthology series at it’s heart, Cinema Purgatorio not only features a continual story from Alan Moore, but also from some of the industry’s top creative talent.
-The murderer’s row of writers on the series includes Garth Ennis (Preacher), Max Brooks (World War Z), Kieron Gillen (Darth Vader), and Christos Gage (Crossed: Badlands).
-Alan Moore will also be re-teaming with Kevon O’Neil on this series, the artist that has worked with him on every League of Extraordinary Gentlemen story.
3 Floyds Alpha King #1 (of 5)
-Originally slated to come out through Heavy Metal Magazine, 3 Floyds Alpha King is now an Image Comics property!
-Written by Brian Azzarello (Dark Knight III, Wonder Woman, 100 Bullets), this miniseries is guaranteed to be unusual in all the right ways.
-Azzarello is joined by one of the industry’s most respected veteran artists, Simon Bisley!
-When a couple of suburban bros create a home brew so astounding, an otherworldly king crosses dimensions to posses it. Things don’t go well.
Renato Jones: The One Percent #1
-A modern day Robin Hood tale, but with far more cursing, violence, and debauchery.
-This new Image series will be written, drawn, colored, and completely overseen by Kaare Andrews (Iron Fist the Living Weapon, Spider-Man Reign).
-In a world where the rich have devoured an even greater amount of the public’s gross economy, Renato Jones is the hero who will make them pay.
-Expect crude, raunchy, and gruesome on the level of Kick-Ass!
The Punisher #1
-A new era of The Punisher begins fresh off the heels of his successful appearance in the Daredevil Netflix series.
-New and old combine on creative duties as up-and-coming writer Becky Cloonan (Southern Cross, Gotham Academy), and veteran artist Steve Dillon (Preacher, Punisher) join forces.
-Frank goes on the road with this storyline, heading out on the hunt for a villain that causes him an emotional distress he hasn’t felt since his family died.
-The hunter becomes the hunted, however, as a dangerous gun-for-hire is sent after Frank.
