WHY WE LOVE IT: There’s nothing scarier than horror that
hits home—a tale of terror only one or two steps removed from our reality. THE
EMPTY MAN is a dystopic version of the world we know, where a terrifying
disease has taken on almost deific connotations.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: Cullen Bunn (THE SIXTH GUN, VENOM)
and Vanesa R. Del Rey (HIT) are two of the most exciting talents in the
industry, and perfectly in sync on this haunting new crime procedural.
WHAT IT’S ABOUT: It’s been one year since the first
reported case of the Empty Man disease, and no drug has been able to slow its
progress. The cause is unknown, and the symptoms include fits of rage, hideous
hallucinations, suicidal dementia, followed by death, or a near lifeless,
"empty" state of catatonia. As murder cults rise nationwide, the FBI
and CDC enter a joint investigation of the Empty Man, hoping to piece together
clues to stop the cult and uncover a cure.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: Fans of John Constantine and Dr.
Strange will love this new take on the magic-wielding hero who battles demons
on the streets… and in his own mind. Thomas has money and fame, but also the
burden of a being this generation’s occult warrior. Can he survive the battles
both within and without?
WHAT IT’S ABOUT: Thomas Alsop is the current “Hand of the
Island,” a title handed down from generation to generation. He guards Manhattan
from evil, using his family’s prowess for magic. Being a thoroughly modern
warlock, he deals with something even more evil than demons… reality
television!

Cover Artists: A: Eric Powell B: Joe Quinones C: Chris

WHY WE LOVE IT: BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA is one of our
favorite cult-classic films because it mashed together ’80s action and
supernatural fantasy movies with ’70s kung-fu flicks. This is the first time
any new BIG TROUBLE stories have been officially told, and we have the film’s original director, John Carpenter, working with Eric Powell (THE GOON) on the
story. You can’t beat that!
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: Eric Powell is a huge fan of BIG
TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, so the sense of humor and over-the-top action he
brings to THE GOON will be all over this book. Trust us, Brian Churilla’s (THE
SIXTH GUN: SONS OF THE GUN) art on this is all kinds of fun.
WHAT IT’S ABOUT: Jack Burton, a macho, truck-driving
adventurer, finds a stowaway hiding on his rig, The Pork Chop Express, but that
soon becomes the least of his troubles. He helped his best friend Wang save his
fiancée from the clutches of a demon, but now the wedding has been invaded by
more evil forces with one thing on their minds—revenge against Jack Burton!
