There he meets Marshal Lee Carter, an earnest woman giving her all to maintain order, a grizzled Preacher, convinced that Pollux’ coming is a sign from God, and Emmerich Bell, the man who shot him down not moments after he dragged his body from the wreckage of his ship.What starts, as a struggle for survival quickly becomes a journey to the very edges of what it means to be human, as Pollux searches for answers among the ruins of this forgotten world. And if he can’t have answers, he’ll at least have his revenge.

From the creators of Viking, writer Ivan Brandon (Wolverine, Men of War) and artist Nic Klein (Captain America, Thor) reunite to bring you a chilling sci-fi tale from the strangest planet in the universe.

No longer content with merely fixing the Pillar and finding a way back home, they vow to uphold a new ideal: leave every dimension they visit better off than how they found it. Their idealism is put to the test, as infighting and conspiracy within the group put not only themselves, but all of the Eververse at risk. As Grant struggles to keep his children safe, he begins to see the cracks in his team’s commitment and trust towards one another. Just as he wanted to use the Pillar to achieve his dreams and hopes, so, it seems, did everyone else. And he has no idea how far some people are willing to go to see their ambitions met. Beset by dangers from all sides, the League barrels through dimension after dimension, struggling to do good, but nevertheless heading straight towards catastrophe!

The juggernaut creative team of writer Rick Remender and artist Matteo Scalera return to deliver the most thrilling and vibrant arc of Black Science yet, combining dark and fascinating character drama with mind-bending sci-fi pulp action and gorgeously rendered visuals to deliver one of the most fast-paced and exciting monthly comics on the stands.

OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA VOLUME 2 Soon to be a TV show on Cinemax!

Written by the creator of The Walking Dead!

Collects Outcast by Kirkman & Azaceta #7-12.

Reviews for Volume 1:

“Kirkman, creator of ‘The Walking Dead’ series, has launched another grim and civiliza-tion-menacing serial. The artwork of Azaceta is bold and coarse, with sophisticated and dramatic coloring. The overall effect is atmospherically creepy and yearns to be read. The television series is already under way.” -Library Journal (starred review)

“Why is Kyle a magnet for the forces of darkness, and why are they making a concerted effort to relegate him to an existence of endless misery? This first volume sets up that mys-tery, with Azaceta’s sleek, shadow-drenched artwork lending the wrenching proceedings the perfect accent of moody realism. There’s great potential here and seeing it through to its conclusion looks to be one hell of a ride.” — Publishers Weekly

Even though it lacks much ac-tion, the bold, gritty art fused with the utterly human dialogue gives this book all the punch it needs. I would recommend this book to someone who needs a reaffirmation that comic books can be much more than just popcorn entertainment.” -Capeless Crusader

VIRGIL Betrayed, beaten, and banished by his own, an outed cop fights his way across Jamaica to save his man and get revenge!

Virgil thought he was safe on the police force, but his gun and his attitude can’t protect him from his own secret - he’s gay. For thirty years he’s had two lives. In the uniform he’s the toughest on the street. Out of uniform he’s a loving boyfriend. But when his own precinct turns on him, his worlds explodes. They put his name in the paper, raided his house, and took his lover. They left him bleeding in the ocean. They shouldn’t have left him alive.

Virgil is the next era of exploitation, following in the steps of Shaft and Django Un-chained. Hard hitting crime noir given a fresh face but the same busted knuckles.

His brothers on the force thought they could tear Virgil down, but outing him has only set him free. They better be ready, because Virgil’s not leaving town without his man, and some blood on his hands.

Reviews for Volume 1:

“Kirkman, creator of ‘The Walking Dead’ series, has launched another grim and civiliza-tion-menacing serial. The artwork of Azaceta is bold and coarse, with sophisticated and dramatic coloring. The overall effect is atmospherically creepy and yearns to be read. The television series is already under way.” -Library Journal (starred review)

“Why is Kyle a magnet for the forces of darkness, and why are they making a concerted effort to relegate him to an existence of endless misery? This first volume sets up that mys-tery, with Azaceta’s sleek, shadow-drenched artwork lending the wrenching proceedings the perfect accent of moody realism. There’s great potential here and seeing it through to its conclusion looks to be one hell of a ride.” — Publishers Weekly

In the uniform he’s the toughest on the street. Out of uniform he’s a loving boyfriend. But when his own precinct turns on him, his worlds explodes.
