"Showman Killer" Returns with "The Golden Child"

TITAN COMICS TO PUBLISH SECOND IN THE SHOWMAN KILLER SERIES, THE GOLDEN CHILD

May 18, 2016, Titan Comics will be publishing The Golden Child, the second in the hit science fiction saga, Showman Killer.

By visionary writer and director Alejandro Jodorowsky with art from Nicolas Fructus this second in the series will feature the trademark esoteric flair and uncompromising vision that made the first in the series such a hit.

"A prophet of creativity...one of the most inspiring artists of our time." - Kanye West on Alejandro Jodorowsky

In a moment of madness, the heartless Showman Killer has found himself responsible for a helpless infant, forced upon him by the mysterious Ibis. The Showman Killer must unravel the mystery of the forces at work in the cosmos, and find out exactly why this child is so important.

"The Golden Child is the second in the Showman Killer series and takes us even deeper into the mind of a man created with no ethics, no moral code or boundaries," says Titan Comics editor, Lizzie Kaye. "Jodorowsky's writing paired with Fructas' art makes this graphic novel a real treat for readers."

Showman Killer: The Golden Child ​ will be available in stores and ​on ​digital devices from May 18, 2016 and is available to order from JANUARY PREVIEWS (order code: JAN161697)

Image Comics' "Revival" Enters New Story Arc with Issue #36

REVIVAL STEPS OUT IN NEW STORY ARC

Issue #36 is a stand-alone before the new arc begins

New York Times bestselling writer Tim Seeley (HACK/SLASH) and Eisner Award-winning artist Mike Norton (IT GIRL & THE ATOMICS) will launch a special stand-alone issue in their ongoing rural noir series REVIVAL this January.

Previously in REVIVAL, the rural town of Wausau, Wisconsin was rocked by a vicious attack on its county courthouse, and Dana fought to protect Em from the scarred assassin Black Deer—casting a harsh light on the goings-on at The Farm in the process.

In REVIVAL #36, 98-year-old fitness guru Lester Majak reassesses what it means to live forever in a city full of the undead.

“Issue #36 focuses on one man's experience in Wausau, in the new status quo set up after issue #35,” said Seeley. “It's a bittersweet story about living with death when that doesn't mean what it used to.”

REVIVAL #36 (Diamond code NOV150539) hits stores Wednesday, January 27th, 2016. Final order cutoff deadline for retailers is Monday, January 4th, 2016.

Image Comics' "Wolf" Moves Into Second Story Arc

WOLF TEARS INTO NEW STORY ARC

Featuring artist Ricardo Lopez Ortiz

Bestselling writer Ales Kot (ZERO, THE SURFACE) and artist Ricardo Lopez Ortiz (ZERO) will launch a new story arc in their ongoing mythical noir series WOLF this January.

Previously in WOLF, Antoine Wolfe got us rolling on the road to hell and back when he and the teenaged maybe-Antichrist Anita kicked off what might just be the Apocalypse.

In WOLF #5, Anita and Wolfe try to pick up the pieces—five years later.

"WOLF #5 begins 4 years after the events of the first collection, and everything in the comic reflects that—down to the creative team. While Matt Taylor is still in charge of all the collected edition covers together with our designer, Tom Muller, the monthly artist torch has been passed to Ricardo Lopez Ortiz, a fantastic new talent whose qualities far outweigh his still modest comics credentials,” said Kot. “Wolfe wakes up in a prison that will seem familiar to careful readers—while Anita drags something dead back home. A home that features more than one character you may have assumed gone forever… but in comics, as in life, unexpected resurrections sometimes happen when you're looking the other way—or when you're waiting for a new issue."

“As tough as it is to fill in the giant art shoes that Matt Taylor left behind, I'm incredibly excited to take over on art duties for this new arc of Wolf,” said Ortiz. “The whole creative team has come together beautifully and concocted an eerily fun and mind-bending trip of a story that will knock readers for a loop and leave them hungry for more.”

WOLF #5 (Diamond code: NOV150576) hits stores Wednesday, January 20th, 2015. Final order cutoff deadline for retailers is Monday, December 28th.

Neil Gaiman's "How to Talk to Girls at Parties" Becomes a Graphic Novel

MOON AND BÁ ADAPT NEIL GAIMAN’S “HOW TO TALK TO GIRLS AT PARTIES”

In June 2016, Dark Horse Books will be pleased to offer How to Talk to Girls at Parties, a brilliant new graphic novel adaptation of an award-winning short story from Neil Gaiman—one of the most celebrated authors of our time—by award-winning artists Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá.

Originally published in Neil Gaiman’s Fragile Things: Short Fiction and Wonders, “How to Talk to Girls at Parties” quickly became a celebrated work, receiving a nomination for a 2007 Hugo Award for Best Short Story and winning the Locus Award for Best Short Story the same year.

Now Moon and Bá are set to adapt the Gaiman story they were born to draw in a sumptuous graphic novel that is not to be missed.

“They have a storytelling aesthetic where [depicting] body language is everything. The story is all about what’s in the narrators’ heads, so it can be very hard to do that in comics. It’s incredibly enjoyable to write a story and see them make it real,” said Neil Gaiman in an exclusive interview with Publishers Weekly.

In How to Talk to Girls at Parties, two teenage boys are in for a tremendous shock when they crash a party where the girls are far more than they appear!

How to Talk to Girls at Parties is in stores June 15, 2016.

Neil Gaiman's How to Talk to Girls at Parties (Hardcover) | 978-1-61655-955-7 | 6/15/2016 | $17.99

Coming soon:
The Facts in the Case of the Departure of Miss Finch (Hardcover, Second Edition) | 978-1-61655-949-6 | 4/20/2016 | $13.99

Creatures of the Night (Hardcover, Second Edition) | 978-1-50670-025-0 | 11/2/16 | $12.99

Also available from Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá :
Two Brothers (Hardcover) | 978-1-61655-856-7 | $24.99


About Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of more than twenty books, and is the recipient of numerous literary honors. Originally from England, he now lives in America.

About Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá
Multiple Eisner Award winners Fábio and Gabriel were born in São Paulo in June 5th, 1976 and have, in one way or another, been telling stories ever since. Now, they tell stories doing comic books and graphic novels (which are essentially the same thing). They are Brazil's very own WONDER TWINS.

About Dark Horse Comics
