In eighteenth-century Venisalle, faith governs life and death, and the guilty
hide their shame behind masks, showing their faces only in the secret rites of
the confessional. It is to this stronghold of the Inquisition that the souls of
Hell have escaped to possess the living, spreading sin, murder, and chaos. Amid
the carnage, one man is blessed with the clarity to recognize the demons that
prey on his countrymen—and the means to return them to the fires of Hell. But as
the stakes rise, the lines separating good and evil begin to blur, and the
Marquis—the dark avenger whom even demons fear to cross—finds himself torn
between the blind faith that has defined his life and the bitter truths exposed
under his new sight.

struggle with her conscience if she is to be strong enough to kill those of her
friends who have been turned into monsters!

Mi-Kyung Yun (W/A)
On sale Sept 9
b&w, 176 pages $9.95
TPB, 5 3/4" x 8 1/4"
Gods and mortals alike are in love with Soah! Driven from her husband Habaek’s
magical kingdom, Soah’s life back on Earth has been pretty miserable so far,
despite her many admirers. With Habaek’s mother and some of his supposed friends
conspiring against him, will the cursed Water God finally come to his senses and
rescue Soah?
Humor, drama, and a bit of horror combine in this story, as Soah tries to
uncover the truth behind her strange husband’s curse and his previous wife’s
early, brutal demise. Complicating everything, Habaek—her powerful, moody
husband—must live in the form of a little boy during the day, returning to his
true adult body at night.

Even as Gendo plots to submit his entire staff to aerobics training, the

objectives . . . which means he’s soon enrolling in Shinji’s class! Such a
pretty boy starts turning heads inside homeroom 2-A . . . even Shinji’s—which
causes Rei and Asuka to agree to join forces, on the grounds that Kaworu’s
presence could cause trouble for NERV. The irony is that, even if that’s just
their excuse—they’re right!

MYSPACE DARK HORSE PRESENTS #22
Guy Davis (W/A), Tatsuya Ishida (W/A), Alec Longstreth (W/A), and Carolyn Main
(W/A)
Sinfest creator Tatsuya Ishida brings a beloved creation and hugely popular
webcomics series that explores religion, advertising, and politics to MDHP in
May.
Acclaimed B.P.R.D. artist Guy Davis introduces readers to The Marquis, the story
of an eighteenth-century dark avenger who is able to recognize the demons that
trouble his fellow faith-governed countrymen and return them to the fires of
Hell.
All followed by a much lighter, trippier adventure to the zoo from newcomer
Carolyn Main.
Alec Longstreth has been self-publishing his Ignatz award-winning comics series
Phase 7 since 2002, and makes his Dark Horse debut with a wholly original new
tale.
