CITY OF OTHERS #3 (of 4) Publisher: Dark Horse Comics Writers: Steve Niles Pencils: Bernie Wrightson Colorists: Jose Villarrubia Part 3 of 4 The epic journey of murderer-turned-monster Stosh "Blud" Bludowski continues in this third issue of Bernie Wrightson and Steve Niles's City of Others! A murderer as remorseless as Blud isn't made in a day, as readers will see in the flashback sequence showing his cruel childhood forays into killing. But things are changing for Blud now that he's chosen eternal life among the Others, and the man who was barely human before is now tortured by his own acts of brutality. But there is little time for reflection now, as Blud must put his newfound emotion to better use by rallying to save what remains of his new family--the Others.

FAKER #1 (of 6) Publisher: DC Comics/Vertigo Comics Writers: Mike Carey Pencils: Jock Covers: Jock Part 1 of 6 In the numbing cold of a Minnesota winter, Jessie Kidby and her freshman friends kick off their second semester with a wild party. But in the aftermath of the big blow-out, things start to go horribly wrong for all of them. Jessie is troubled by nasty memories she's been suppressing for years, while her best friend Nick Philo has become an un-person: Nobody outside their tight-knit little clique can remember seeing him before, and his records have been erased from the college's computers. At first, it doesn't seem like a big deal, but it becomes increasingly obvious that one of them is not what he appears to be. Chock full of ruthless characters with hidden agendas, FAKER takes place during freshman year in college; the ultimate time of reinvention, where, if you're up for it, you can lie, cheat and fake your way through almost anything. FAKER is by the Eisner-nominated team of Mike Carey (LUCIFER, CROSSING MIDNIGHT) and Jock (THE LOSERS).

Mia makes the fateful mistake of phoning Daniel, a murderer from Melanie's past, who believes he's possessed by a demonic silverfish. And at midnight, on the boardwalk of a sleepy seaside town, Mia's survival will depend not only on whether Suzanne is good or evil, but whether Mia can find out which before Daniel reaches them...
