ABSOLUTION #1
Writer: Christos Gage Art: Roberto Viacava
Cover: Jacen Burrows
You've seen Christos Gage's work for Marvel, WildStorm, IDW and others, but
you've never seen his imagination unleashed with absolutely no
restrictions...until now. ABSOLUTION introduces John Dusk, a superhero in a
world where they're a sanctioned arm of law enforcement. But this veteran hero
has been scarred by his exposure to man's infinite capacity for evil, and he's
seen one too many perpetrators escape justice. One day he crosses the
line...lets a murderer die...and discovers it feels good. Surrounded by
sociopaths, both human and superhuman, who he knows will prey on others if
they're not stopped--permanently--how far will he go, knowing every step he
takes puts him further on a collision course with his teammates Alpha and The
Servant, not to mention his homicide detective girlfriend? Drawing on his
experience writing for TV crime dramas like Law & Order: SVU, and his years of
acclaimed work on comics like G.I. Joe: Cobra, StormWatch: PHD, and Avengers:
The Initiative, Gage and artist Roberto Viacava bring you a riveting,
no-punches-pulled saga that fans of shows like The Shield and Dexter, or comics
such as Powers and Sleeper, won't be able to put down. He wants to be
forgiven...but he doesn't want to stop. This series explodes into stores with a
Regular cover by Jacen Burrows, Wraparound and Crimefiles Edition (featuring the
lovely Alpha) by Juan Jose Ryp, and a rare Dual Signed Poster Edition, with the
signatures of Burrows and Gage, as a Retailer Order Incentive.

CROSSED #9
Writer: Garth Ennis Art/Cover: Jacen Burrows
The bloody conclusion of the horror series of the year has too much violence to
fit in a normal comic, so this final issue is super-sized! There is nothing left
to do but for Cindy and the last of her friends to take the battle to the
Crossed. It doesn’t go well. Garth Ennis takes no prisoners and offers no hope
in the most intense book of his career! Nothing is going right, but this is no
fairy tale -- there are no magic cures on the horizon. When civilization
crumbles in one terrifying moment; when people are gleefully breaking into
unthinkable acts of violence all around you; when everyone you love has died
screaming in agony: What do you do? There is no help. There is no hope. There is
no escape. There are only the Crossed. This stomach-churning vision is brought
to vivid by his partner in crime Jacen Burrows. This nihilistic ninth issue is
available with a Regular or Wraparound cover by Burrows as well as a rare Red
Crossed Edition by Burrows.

DOKTOR SLEEPLESS #14
Writer: Warren Ellis Art/Cover: Ivan Rodriguez
Readership: MR
Format: Full Color, 32 pages, monthly
UPC – 820023003273 14011
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Things are getting out of control. Everyone's looking for
Doktor Sleepless. But there's no sign that any of what's going wrong -- murders,
destruction, massive amounts of new drugs, war on the streets, domestic
terrorism, riots -- is actually his doing. No-one's seen him. In fact, the only
person ever seen coming out of the house on the hill is the Nurse. Which makes
journalist Sarah Berlin wonder: Is Doktor Sleepless already dead? Warren Ellis'
on-going satirical-political science fiction novel continues its decent into
madness. The issue is available with a regular cover by series artist Ivan
Rodriguez, or wraparound cover by Raulo Caceres, and also a rare Future Warning
Sign cover. (resolicited from February 09)
