    RETURN OF THE GREMLINS #1 (of 3)

    Publisher:
    Dark Horse Comics
    Writers: Mike Richardson
    Pencils: Dean Yeagle
    Covers Dean Yeagle
    Colorists: Dan Jackson

    Part 1 of 3
    Our story opens on Gus, a man visiting England from the States. His grandfather's house is part of his inheritance, and he plans to sell it as soon as he can. Even though the locals think the house is haunted--something Gus immediately dismisses--a slick man named Mr. Snide promptly appears with his "associates" and makes an offer. But when Gus declines to sign over the house right then and there, Snide reveals that his arrangement with the mayor will seal the deal soon enough!

    Left to explore the place, Gus experiences a series of very odd events. How did his folded clothes end up in knots? Who on earth would drill a hole in a coffee cup? Certainly not ghosts, but for a former fighter pilot's abandoned old home, it sure is clean . . .

    When the house's tiny residents decide to take extreme measures, Gus will meet the gremlins up close and personal-just like his grandfather, who first discovered them sixty years ago!

    * Based on the classic Disney characters created by world-renowned author Roald Dahl!

    * Gremlins was the first children's book from author Roald Dahl.

    High schoolers Paul and Val, with Val's stepmother Linda, continue their aimless murder spree across the US. But when one of the group decides to abandon the others to return home will the others tolerate the defection or turn their murderous rage on the defector?

    "The beauty of it is that it doesn't feel forced; it's right on target. The tone, the mood, the drawing, the narrative flow--it all falls like dominoes." -ComicsComicsMag.com

    "Hernandez's art, as always, is a study in pregnant brushstrokes and pools of shadow . . . " -A.V. Club

    STAR TREK: NEW FRONTIER #1

    Publisher:
    IDW Publishing
    Writers: Peter David
    Pencils: Stephen Thompson
    Covers: Stephen Thompson

    In its first year of Star Trek comics, IDW Publishing broke out of the box with marquee titles like Star Trek: Year Four, the blockbuster Klingons: Blood Will Tell and the fan-favorite Alien Spotlight one-shots. Now, IDW takes it to the next level with the launch of its Star Trek: Second Stage lineup, featuring some of the top Star Trek creators in comics, books and television. It all begins here! New York Times Best-Selling author and comics legend Peter David, the hand-picked creator of the first Star Trek crew designed exclusively for print, celebrates the tenth anniversary of his creation by writing New Frontier’s first-ever comic book series, showcasing all-new stories and the official continuation of the hit books.

    In issue one, “Slingshot,” the most dangerous experimental vessel in the galaxy—a prototype time ship—has vanished, and it appears that the man who stole it is none other than Starfleet Admiral Edward Jellico. Only Mackenzie Calhoun and the crew of the Excalibur have a hope in finding him before the ship, intended purely for scientific exploration, is used to disrupt the space-time continuum. With art by Stephen Thompson (Beneath the Valley of Rage), who also delivers four painted covers available as a Quad Cover™, all bound in the same issue. Thompson also provides a bonus incentive cover featuring “Starfleet Captain Peter David” in the command chair!

    Gunplay is the haunting tale of a Buffalo Soldier named Abner, condemned to roam the Old West with a hellish curse slung at his waist: a demonic shooting iron that forces him to kill once a day or suffer soul-searing pain. His salvation lies in earning the trust of a boy he's never met; a boy with an angonizing secret of his own. This 32-page preview invites readers to ride alongside Abner as he transforms from nightmare gunman to high plains folk hero. Priest provides prose back-up stories in each issue, chronicling the Legend of Abner.

    NOTE: As Priest's prose story is serialized in just a few pages per-issue of "Gunplay," below are previewing pages from the comic book portion by Jorge Vega and Dominic Vivona

    "BATTERED AND BRUCED: THE GRIMMESE FAIRY TALE", Part 1 of 4
    The cross-over no one asked for -- or expected -- is finally here! Too big for the movie of television screen, Dynamite presents the ultimate "Why Not? tale as Ash and Army of Darkness meets Xena, the Warrior Princess in the first issue of this 4-part mini series event!

    Written by master ... uh, scribe, John Layman and illustrated by Miguel Montenegro, the first issue of our most unnecessary adventure finds Ashley J. Williams transported to the world of Xena and Gabrielle and most importantly Autolycus, who of course, bears more than a passing resemblance to our main man Ash. Throw in the Necornomicon and an evil little ash taking charge of a group of fairies (the winged kind) and hey, you've got yourselves a story! Featuring two covers, one by UDON studios and the other by Fabiano Neves!

    Fans, ask your retailer for the Udon Negative Art Incentive cover.

    Publisher:
    Avatar Press
    Writers: Warren Ellis, Mike Wolfer
    Pencils: Raulo Caceres
    Covers: Raulo Caceres, Mike Wolfer (Incentive)

    He has seen and participated in some of the most horrific, supernatural events that mortal eyes have ever beheld, but when his personal integrity has been attacked, the line has just been crossed! Combat Magician and Occult Detective William Gravel continues to cut a bloody swathe across the English countryside as he tracks down the next member of the Minor Seven, the secret enclave of occult practitioners who have unceremoniously ousted Gravel from their ranks. With two sections of the dissected occult artifact known as the Sigsand Manuscript now in his hands, Gravel has a new mission, beyond personal retribution: Retrieving of the remaining pieces of the Sigsand from the hands of the surviving Minor Seven. But that’s easier said than done, when the next magician on his list is an apparition, in control of a stampeding, blood-thirsty herd of ghost horses that charge forth into the night from “The Stables Of The Dead!” This issue is available with a regular cover by Mike Wolfer, a wraparound by Raulo Caceres, and also a rare 1-in-15 Black Magic Edition featuring a new cover by Wolfer.

    For every 15 books purchased (can be mix-and-match either of the covers), retailers may purchase one copy of Gravel #2 Black Magic Edition by artist Mike Wolfer.

    Covers: Fiona Staples, David Nakayama, Tim Seeley

    Her identity established, the enemy identified, and the goal set… Sheena’s ready to conquer a whole new jungle: The city itself!

    If you’re looking to stray from the mainstream books this week, Sheena is something to take a look at." ~comicpants.com
