Image Comics Reveals More "Curse Words" Variant Covers

CURSE WORDS’ QUIRKY ANIMAL VARIANT COVERS REVEALED

Step aside, Wizord.

Image Comics is pleased to reveal two very special limited variant covers for CURSE WORDS #1 by Charles Soule (Daredevil, Death of Wolverine, Star Wars) and Ryan Browne (GOD HATES ASTRONAUTS) featuring supporting character Margaret, (#TeamMargaret), and none other than the viral Instagram sensation Simon, the cat. True to Simon’s sparkling personality, his cover will have a whimsical touch of glitter adding shimmer to his coat and the CURSE WORDS title logo.

In CURSE WORDS #1, a wizard has appeared in New York City, and he's casting wonderful spells, getting famous, getting rich—it's great! But it's not. This wizard has everyone fooled. He is actually an evil wizard, and evil things are on the way. CURSE WORDS is a gonzo modern fantasy, full of darkness, light… and magic.

Fans in search of these special, limited covers should contact their local comic shop for details on how to snag their copies. CURSE WORDS #1 Cover C Margaret (Diamond Code NOV168042) and CURSE WORDS #1 Cover D Simon (Diamond Code NOV168043) will hit comic book stores on Wednesday, January 18th, 2017. The final order cutoff deadline for comic book retailers is Monday, December 19th, 2016.

Image Comics Sends "Motor Crush #1" Back to Press


MOTOR CRUSH CAPTURES BATGIRL FAN FOLLOWING

#1 issue rushed back to print

MOTOR CRUSH #1—by Brenden Fletcher, Cameron Stewart, and Babs Tarr of Batgirl of Burnside fame—launched to instant success and immediate critical acclaim this week and Image Comics is sending it back to print in order to keep up with customer demand.

By day, Domino Swift competes for fame and fortune in a worldwide motorcycle racing league. By night, she cracks heads of rival gangs in brutal bike wars to gain possession of a rare, valuable contraband: an engine-boosting “machine narcotic” known as Crush.

MOTOR CRUSH remains available for purchase across all digital platforms, including the Image Comics website (imagecomics.com), the official Image Comics iOS app, Comixology’s website (comixology.com), iOS, Android, and Google Play.

MOTOR CRUSH #1, 2nd printing (Diamond Code NOV168052) and MOTOR CRUSH #2 Cover A by Tarr (NOV160629) and Cover B by Stewart (Diamond Code NOV160630) will be available on Wednesday, January 11th, 2017. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is Monday, December 19th, 2016.
