DELLEC #0

Publisher: Aspen Entertainment
Writers: Frank Mastromauro, Vince Hernandez
Pencils: Micah Gunnell, Rob Stull
Covers: Micah Gunnell

Sometimes evil should be afraid.

His name is Dellec.

A working class family man. A highly skilled metal fabricator. A man who will be forced to risk everything--including his own existence, to purge the world of all its treacherous forms of ill repute. However, what if that evil he seeks to destroy is also the very same force that created him? And what if this being was more than mortal altogether? The blazing fires of damnation reign down upon one man in this epic tale of vengeance, loss, and despair as Dellec attempts to not only battle immortality itself, but also the very perception of faith it's strength is built upon.

ALIENS VOLUME 3 #1

Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Writers: John Arcudi
Pencils: Zach Howard
Covers: Zach Howard
Colorists: Mark Irwin

A group of wildcat planetary prospectors plant their flag on a distant new world, rich in land, resources . . . and mystery. Within this seemingly uninhabited planet lies the greatest archaeological discovery in history, an ancient, abandoned complex of impossible proportions carved deep within the living rock, a mind-numbing labyrinth of passages, ramps, bridges, and galleries that seems to extend limitlessly. But as the exploration of the leviathan dead city proceeds deeper and deeper, the members of the team slowly begin to lose their grip on reality. But madness gives way to fear as the explorers begin to disappear one by one. Something else lives within the necropolis, a faceless horror as deadly and merciless as space itself, a lethal terror that has waited centuries to awake . . . and destroy.

At long last, Dark Horse Comics heralds the return of the heavyweight champion of modern science-fiction/horror, Aliens!

* Aliens #1 is the first act in the relaunch of all three classic Dark Horse/Fox comics series. The release of Aliens #1 will coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of the Ridley Scott-helmed film masterpiece, Alien, and will be preceded by an Aliens/Predator special for Free Comic Book Day!

* Featuring the top-flight creative team of writer John Arcudi (The Mask, B.P.R.D., Doom Patrol), penciller Zach Howard (Sean of the Dead, Outer Orbit), and inker Mark Irwin (X-Men: Age of Apocalypse, Batman, Amazing Spider-Man).

Guts, the Black Swordsman, and his companions have finally broken free of the monster-infested wilderness and arrived at the port city of Vritannis.

The group's only hope is to find a ship out of the city, but even if they manage to secure a vessel, will everyone be free to leave?

CONAN VOLUME 7: CIMMERIA TP

Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Writers: Timothy Truman
Pencils: Tomás Giorello, Richard Corben
Colorists: José Villarrubia

Conan volume 7: Cimmeria marks a transitional period in young Conan's life, as he spurns civilization -- with its turncoats and legal trappings -- and returns to the beloved, brutal country of Cimmeria, where he was born and raised. The dangers found in the snowy mountain passes of his barbaric homeland are a welcome change from the mind games and treachery Conan encountered in the cities of the East, but there are unfortunate lessons in treachery to be learned here, too. When a tentative truce with the Aesir is threatened by the actions of Caollan, the first woman Conan ever loved, Conan again finds himself at the heart of a larger conflict that will test not only his physical strength and cunning mind -- but his passionate heart as well.

* "(Truman) goes back to the same historical and mythical source material Howard must have used and mines it to expand on what Howard already did. Now that's the way to put your stamp on a Howard tale. As a result, this reeks of Robert E. Howard influence. There is blood and there is fire . . . there is death and despair and indomitable will. Basically, everything you could want from a Conan story." --ComicsBulletin.com

* The hardcover version is a direct market exclusive of the trade-paperback collection, printed to initial orders only!

Jedi Knights Anakin and Obi-Wan, with Padawan Ahsoka, travel to the planet Taloraan in hopes of gaining some useful allies for the Republic.

Vector is an epic story with repercussions for every era and every hero in the Star Wars galaxy. Told in four chapters, this is the concluding volume.

In Chapter Three (Rebellion Volume 4) Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia have to deal with Vector as it crosses their paths and changes the galaxy! On the dark surface of a desolate moon, Luke meets his first Jedi since Obi-Wan Kenobi, only to realize too late that Celeste Morne is far different than his fallen friend -- twisted by a Sith Talisman and enraged by Darth Vader!

Then, over 135 years later, in the final chapter (Legacy Volume 6), Cade Skywalker's plan to assassinate Emperor Darth Krayt is aided by a "secret weapon" in the form of Celeste Morne -- the Jedi Knight of the Old Republic who is in possession of, and possibly possessed by, the powerful Muur Talisman. Cade and Celeste will change the galaxy-for better, or for worse!

* The epic Star Wars: Vector storyline spread over four thousand years of history and crossed over four comic-book series -- Rebellion, Knights of the Old Republic, Dark Times, and Legacy!

USAGI YOJIMBO VOLUME 3 #120

Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Writers: Stan Sakai
Pencils: Stan Sakai
Inkers: Stan Sakai

There's no calm after the storm for the rabbit ronin as Usagi grapples with the fallout from "Traitors of the Earth" and uncovers a new mystery. While Kitsune recovers from her encounter with the wizard Hatakeyama, her protégée, Kiyoko, works to keep money coming in, using the performance and pickpocket lessons Kitsune has taught her.

Hiding from the police in an abandoned temple, Kiyoko overhears a plot to murder a rich merchant. She tries to get Usagi involved, but there's not much he can do when the merchant doesn't want help, and it's still not clear who wants the merchant dead, anyway.

"There's a clear love for the details of medieval Japanese life, landscape and habits that makes Usagi Yojimbo a joy to read."
-Geoff Hoppe, Comic Book Bin
