Back in Stock!
Some of our previously sold out bestsellers are once again available to order from your local comic shops, as well as in stock at our store.
Olympus - In this high-octane adventure, chaos is unleashed when a group of brash archaeology graduate students and a team of ruthless mercenaries are shipwrecked together on the legendary Mount Olympus - a mountainous island populated by the deadliest monsters known to Greek mythology. Written by Geoff Johns (Green Lantern, Superman) and Kris Grimminger (Witchblade, The Possessed), with vivid line art by Butch Guice (Captain America, Ninjak).
The White Lama - Late 19th century Tibet, after the Grand Lama Mipam dies, Gabriel, the orphan of white explorers, is chosen as his reincarnation. As he is raised by a local family, the seeds of corruption and despair sprout across the land, and it will be up to the "White Lama" to fight his way back to the light. Alexandro Jodorowsky (The Metabarons, The Incal) partners with artist Georges Bess (Son of the Gun) to tell a breath-taking & spiritual epic adventure set at the "Roof of the World."
The Metabarons - A must-read cult spin-off of The Incal, by Mœbius and Jodorowsky, centering around the fascinating lineage of the ultimate warrior. This collection introduces the Metabaron's bloodline and reveals the origins of their deep-seated principles. Find out the source of the family's vast wealth, learn why every Metabaron has cybernetic implants, and why the only way to become the next Metabaron is for him to defeat his own father in a mortal combat. Follow each successive generation as it struggles to overcome the forces amassed against it in a galaxy corrupted by greed, power, and terror. A true classic in the pantheon of graphic storytelling and Science Fiction as a whole.
The Technopriests - After the Greek tragedy of The Metabarons, Alexandro Jodorowsky comes back to his biblical roots with this quest reminiscent of Moses and set on a galactic scale. To top it off, the characters and the theme of virtual reality are tailor-made for artist Zoran Janjetov (Before The Incal), who finds in Jodorowsky his perfect match. Albino, hero of this space odyssey, remembers here his childhood, his apprenticeship, and the big and small battles he had to fight to fulfill his ambitions in a universe where technological advances are paradoxically matched only by the cruelty and the barbarism of the forces controlling it.
Releases for 10/14/15
