"Skyward is a great new series with a great hook and jaw-dropping artwork by Lee Garbett. Highly recommended!" —Jeff Lemire
PORTLAND, OR, 01/23/2018 — Writer Joe Henderson (showrunner of Fox’s Lucifer) and artist Lee Garbett (Lucifer, Loki: Agent of Asgard) team up for an all-new gravity-defying series in SKYWARD. The new series is set to launch this April. 

“Skyward is my all of my favorite things mashed together,” said Henderson. “It’s a coming-of-age story filled with action and humor, devastation and hope. It explores a world turned upside down, where anyone can leap tall buildings with a single bound… but if you jump too high, you die. And getting to see Lee Garbett bring it to glorious life is a dream come true.” 

In SKYWARD, gravity on Earth suddenly becomes a fraction of what it is now. Twenty years later, humanity has adapted to its new, low-gravity reality. For one Willa Fowler—a woman born just after the fateful “G-day”—life after gravity it pretty awesome. Until she accidentally stumbles into a dangerous plan to bring gravity back. A plan that could get her killed…

Garbett added: "When I first read the pitch for Skyward it felt like fate had had a hand in putting it my way. Like it had been written for me and designed to push all my buttons. Joe Henderson's script—as well as that killer high-concept—was so rich, his characters so warm and full of life, that I was hooked and holding on to this baby with both hands like it was chained to the ground on G-Day. I hope the readers will have the same experience.”

SKYWARD is an adventure-filled exploration of our world turned upside down and a young woman’s journey to find her place in it.

SKYWARD #1 (Diamond Code FEB180510) and will be available on Wednesday, April 18th. The final order cutoff for retailers is Monday, March 26th.

PORTLAND, OR, 01/23/2018 — Image Comics will bring FEAR AGENT—the critically-acclaimed, science-fiction odyssey by Rick Remender, Tony Moore, and Jerome Opeña—back to print as a series of master edition trade paperbacks. Each trade paperback will collect ten issues of the seminal, pulp classic and will feature never-before-seen scripts, variant covers, designs, and concept art. 

Beginning with FEAR AGENT: FINAL EDITION, VOL. 1, which hits stores this April, veteran fans and new recruits alike can experience the whiskey-soaked, laser-scorched life of Heath Huston, the galaxy’s last hope.

“I chronicled the hardest ten years of my life through Heath Huston and his drunken plight to save eternity and couldn't be more excited to share our love letter to EC Comics with a new audience,” said Remender. “The series is drenched in love from Tony Moore, Jerome Opeña and some of the best artists in the world.”

FEAR AGENT first made waves when Remender famously described it, in an interview with Comic Book Resources, as their response to a sci-fi genre that'd “lost its stones.” Heralded as an addictive homage to the popular sci-fi adventure of the ’50s, FEAR AGENT was the series that catapulted Remender’s reputation for action-packed sci-fi with heartstring-tugging character building. It laid the groundwork for such hits as, BLACK SCIENCE co-created with artist Matteo Scalera, LOW co-created with artist Greg Tocchini, and his re-teaming and co-creation with Opeña on SEVEN TO ETERNITY. 

Moore added: “Rick and Jerome are the collaborators of a lifetime, and we all poured our blood, sweat, and tears into these pages, sometimes literally. This series was a hard-fought labor of love for the genre and the pantheon of mid-century comicbook titans who continue to inspire us the most, and I personally could not be more proud of it."

The FEAR AGENT adventure unfolds when down-and-out alien exterminator Heath Huston stumbles upon an extraterrestrial plot to commit genocide against the human species, he must put down the bottle and resume his role as a peacekeeper...the last Fear Agent.

Opeña added: "Working on Fear Agent was some of the most fun I've ever had in comics and it's great to see the book get the recognition it deserves all these years later. I'm eternally grateful to Rick and Tony for inviting me along to collaborate with them and it's an honor to have my name associated with the book in any way."

FEAR AGENT: FINAL EDITION, VOL. 1 (ISBN: 978-1-5343-0797-1, Diamond Code FEB180517) hits stores on Wednesday, April 25th. The final order cutoff for comics retailers in Monday, March 12th. It hits bookstores on Tuesday, May 1st and will be available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, IndieBound, Books-a-Million, and Indigo. 
 
Select praise for FEAR AGENT:

"All involved supply enjoyable, thrilling, and sometimes beautiful...tones and styles of action, horror, and sci-fi in homage to the great EC comics of the 1950s." --Booklist

"Many books that rely on action don't necessarily do it well. Fear Agent doesn't have that problem. Tony Moore consistently delivers incredible visuals and designs while Rick Remender has an excellent sense of pacing. This book feels like a great Indiana Jones tale set in space (substitute Nazis for aliens)." --IGN

“There are really not many books that capture the adventure, humor, and seediness of our classic Sci-Fi notions of space as Fear Agent does. This is The Shootist meets Mars Attacks! with just the right mix of Barfly flown in for the art house benefit… an extremely high-quality release.” --Impose Magazine

“One of our favorite series. A fantastic fun book, that will emotionally hit you… there is nothing safe with this comic, Remender completely knocks the ground from under the characters in every single issue… it’s excellent, we highly, highly recommend it.” --Pulp Secret

“We love us some Fear Agent. It's rare that you're able to just throw away the rational part of your brain and enjoy some good escapist entertainment, especially when you're talking about science fiction.” --UGO

“Rick Remender's Fear Agent is a rare treat in comics these days. Fear Agent is not just great science fiction in a form of media that has seemed to have lost touch with the concept of it, but it's also just fun comics.” --Ain’t it Cool News

“Some SF stories get weighed down by the very details writers hope will bring them life. But Fear Agent isn’t one of them. It really will appeal to—not just SF fans—but to everyone who enjoys their adventures straight up.” --Paperback Reader

“Writer Rick Remender's story manhandles readers' imaginations with a multi-tiered, well-constructed story that is not just about the violence of an action hero but manages to squeeze in some of his humanity.” --The Washington Times

“Good sci-fi stories are really lacking in comics today and Fear Agent is one of the best. Grade: A.” --Comic World News

PORTLAND, OR, 01/23/2018 — The #1 New York Times bestselling writer Kyle Higgins (C.O.W.L., HADRIAN’S WALL, Nightwing) and artist Stephen Mooney (Half Past Danger, Grayson) join forces with Eisner Award-winning colorist Jordie Bellaire for an all-new series steeped in Cold War history, mystery, and spy-thriller action in THE DEAD HAND. The series is set to launch this April. 

THE DEAD HAND #1 introduces readers to Carter Carlson, a highly decorated operative during the Cold War. But in the fall of 1991, as the Soviet Union collapsed, Carter discovered a secret that not only changed his life…but also altered the course of history. Now, in 2018, as the mysterious “Dead Hand” threatens to end the world once again, the only thing standing in its way is the relationship between an old spy and a little boy.

"The Dead Hand mixes my love of historical fiction and huge action into one of the biggest stories I've ever written. It's Metal Gear Solid, James Bond, and John le Carré all mixed into one comic," said Higgins. "The end of the Cold War is an incredibly fascinating era—the proliferation of weapons and scientists from the Soviet Union, the complicated relationships between countries, the introduction of capitalism in Russia… it's a great backdrop for a story about the end of the world."

Mooney added: "I’m hugely excited to be embarking on this thrilling Cold War journey with Kyle, Jordie, and Clayton. The Dead Hand is exactly the type of sci-fi tinged espionage book I love as a reader, and I can’t wait for people to take a first step into this murky world. Be careful who you trust!"

THE DEAD HAND #1 (Diamond Code FEB180506) will be available on Wednesday, April 11th. The final order cutoff for retailers is Monday, March 19th.

Los Angeles, California, USA ~ January 14, 2018

Beautiful, monstrous, graceful, sinister, coy, sensual, shy, aggressive... these are only a few of the adjectives for mermaids that have captured the imaginations of people all over the world for centuries. But despite the differences of particular details, how is it that so many cultures have similar general descriptions of the same creature? Civilizations of people across the globe who haven't had contact with each other, yet share amazingly similar stories?

With only 5% of our Earth's oceans explored by humans, perhaps there are amazing secrets hidden within that unexplored 95%. Mysterious and intriguing secrets that only a few lucky people can even hope to catch a glimpse of in their lifetime.

Writer B. Alex Thompson and artist Nenad Cviticanin created Surfacing in order for readers to find the stories of these lucky (or unlucky) individuals.

Tales of suspense, romance, drama, and horror... stories as varied as the people who experience these chance encounters with beings only thought to be legend. But for better or for worse, they turn out to be oh, so real.

 You can find Surfacing comics via Indyplanet as well as via Comixology.

PORTLAND, OR, 01/14/2018 — Superstar creators Gail Simone (Red Sonja, Secret Six) and Cat Staggs (Wonder Woman ‘77, Smallville Season 11) will release CROSSWIND, VOL. 1 from Image Comics this February. CROSSWIND is in development for a television series, with Simone slated to write as well as executively produce and Staggs to serve as a consulting producer. 

A slick and ruthless Chicago hitman. A smart but downtrodden Seattle housewife. When an inexplicable event strikes these two random strangers, their bodies, souls, and lives are switched—to potentially deadly effect.

“CROSSWIND is a dream project for co-creator/artist Cat Staggs and me: a crime fantasy with guts and heart and a downright mean streak at times,” said Simone. “It’s a venomous confection, two people whose lives are switched and they have no idea why. We loved every minute of making this book and hope you’ll love it, too, bodily injury and all.” 

“If you ever wondered what it was like to walk in someone else's shoes, CROSSWIND might make you think twice about that,” said Staggs. “Gail and I have worked to create a grounded and sometimes brutal fantasy that you won't be able to put down. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.”

CROSSWIND, VOL. 1 (Diamond code: NOV170676, ISBN: 978-1-5343-0474-1) hits comic book stores Wednesday, February 28th. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is Monday, January 15th.

CROSSWIND, VOL. 1 will be available in bookstores Tuesday, March 5th. It can be preordered via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indiebound, and Indigo.
Select praise for CROSSWIND:
 
“Freaky Friday—yes! But dark and twisted and such great art and page composition. And glints of humour. This is great, kinetic, mind-warping work. Art reminded me of Chaykin’s The Shadow meets Bill Sienkiewicz. I love this.” —Ian Rankin (Inspector Rebus novels)
 
“CROSSWIND is a fantastic story with very real stakes and consequences concerning identity in both physical and psychological ways.” —Comics Verse
 
“CROSSWIND will sneak up on you from behind and knock you sideways. Gail Simone is at her absolute sharpest, and Cat Staggs’s art is daring and sexy. Freakin’ impressive is what it is…!” —Cully Hamner (RED, The Question)

“Cat Staggs's art will grab you by the throat and kick you in the teeth. This is one creepy ride.” —Joe Harris (ROCKSTARS, X-Files)

“Simone and Staggs’ work together rivals that of even the best noir teams (Brubaker and Phillips better watch their backs).” —Monkeys Fighting Robots

"By the end of issue #1, I was absolutely hooked. The only thing more riveting than CROSSWIND’s two protagonists are these two incredible creators joining together at the peak of their powers." —Tom Taylor (All-New Wolverine, Injustice, The Deep)
 
“Beautifully illustrated and with a fresh take on a fairly worn-out trope, CROSSWIND is a fantastic new series from two creators working in perfect synergy.” —Big Comic Page
 
“Gail Simone’s dialogue kicks major ass and Cat Staggs’ artwork is superb and evocative.” —Tor.com, “The Top Spec-fic Comics of 2017”

“Staggs and Simone have delivered a great, cinematic experience.” —Black Nerd Problems

 Valiant is proud to present a brand-new look inside SHADOWMAN (2018) #1 – the FIRST ISSUE of the POWERFUL NEW ONGOING SERIES by superstar writer Andy Diggle (Green Arrow: Year One, Daredevil) and high-octane artist Stephen Segovia (Action Comics)! On March 28th, “FEAR OF THE DARK” – the fearsome first strike in Diggle’s two-year master plan for Valiant’s supernatural icon – starts here as Jack Boniface emerges from the Deadside and returns to the haunted city of his youth, New Orleans, to head off the coming of a terrible new threat that will irreparably scar the Valiant Universe in its wake…

“I love action comics and I love supernatural horror, and with SHADOWMAN I get to write both at the same time. It's win/win," Diggle told IGN. "I think Jack Boniface is a character with a lot of untapped potential. He started out as this upbeat, fresh-faced young guy and since then he's been through Hell and back. He's carrying a burden of guilt over some bad choices he made and that's fertile ground for a redemption story."
 
Don’t fear your demons… Fight them! Orphaned as a child and raised on the margins of society, Jack Boniface never knew his place in the world. Until he discovered it waiting for him…in a darkness far older than the reign of men…
 
Unbeknownst to him, Jack was fated to become the next in a long lineage of Shadowmen – mortals bound to violent voodoo spirits of immense power – that could safeguard our world against incursions from realms beyond. For years, he struggled to control the loa’s murderous urges – a battle he eventually lost.
 
But now, after years of self-imposed exile, the man once known as Shadowman is returning home to sharpen the weapon within…and unleash a reckoning on the evils of our world that will soon send shockwaves through heaven and hell alike…
 
In the epic tradition of X-O MANOWAR and BLOODSHOT REBORN, a staggering new beginning for Valiant’s supernatural icon starts here on March 28th with PART ONE of “FEAR OF THE DARK” – a tense and gripping three-issue introduction pushing Jack Boniface to the farthest edge of fear itself…and into a startling, adrenaline-fueled fight for survival as Shadowman takes command of the birthright he was born to uphold!
 
This spring, red-hot creators Andy Diggle and Stephen Segovia lead the charge for Valiant’s biggest and most powerful ongoing series debut of 2018 in the all-new SHADOWMAN #1 – featuring covers by Eisner Award nominee Tonci Zonjic (Who is Jake Ellis?), Renato Guedes (BLOODSHOT SALVATION), Juan José Ryp(BRITANNIA), and Travel Foreman (Animal Man, The Ultimates)!
 
Then: Jack Boniface’s quest to reclaim his unearthly inheritance charges onward in SHADOWMAN #2! On April 25th, Valiant’s must-read new series launch of the New Year plunges even deeper into the darkest recesses of the Deadside to reveal the vengeful machinations of Baron Samedi!
 
Jack Boniface has only just returned home to New Orleans…but the Deadside won’t let him stay gone! From across the veil of life and death, the malignant presence of Baron Samedi – a ravenous voodoo deity bent on consolidating power at all costs – now seeks to infiltrate the mortal plane and claim the legacy of Shadowman for himself! But even as Jack and Alyssa marshal a defense to Samedi’s inhuman agenda, a monstrous new force – driven by killer instinct and a rabid hatred of the Shadowman – is about to turn the Big Easy’s back alleys into a hunting ground…
 
On April 25th, “FEAR OF THE DARK” stalks forward as Andy Diggle and Stephen Segovia bring a hard-hitting reckoning to SHADOWMAN #2 – featuring covers by Tonci Zonjic (Lobster Johnson), Renato Guedes (Wolverine), Juan José Ryp (HARBINGER RENEGADE), and Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night)!
 
PLUS: Valiant is rewarding fans who reserve the first arc of Valiant’s next essential monthly series with specially expanded, limited editions of each issue in the SHADOWMAN #1-3 PRE-ORDER EDITION BUNDLE – available only as a pre-order set! Released monthly from March through May 2018, each Valiant PRE-ORDER EDITION comes packed with trade paperback-style extras and bonus content, including creator commentary, behind-the-scenes looks at the creation of the comics, process character designs and artwork, and first looks at upcoming issues – plus an exclusive cover by visionary artist Raúl Allén (SECRET WEAPONS) that can’t be found anywhere else!
 
The only way to obtain the SHADOWMAN #1-3 PRE-ORDER EDITION BUNDLE is to reserve this limited item with your local comic shop by the initial order date (IOD) of January 25th, 2018! No more copies will be made available beyond that date and subsequent issues will not be offered in later solicitations!

PORTLAND, OR, 01/14/2018 — GLAAD Media Award-nominated writer Steve Orlando (VIRGIL, Midnighter) and acclaimed artist Garry Brown (BLACK ROAD) will launch the gritty revenge thriller CRUDE this April from Image Comics/Skybound Entertainment. 

Killers once feared Piotr Petrovich. Now, they’ve sent his son home to him—in a body bag.
 
Haunted by his failures, Piotr journeys across Russia to learn what type of man his son really was, while hunting the bastards who killed him. And once Piotr finds them, they will learn to fear him once more…

“It’s been an honor to work with Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics to bring Piotr Petrovich Bilibin's exciting, tragic story into the hands of readers,” said writer Steve Orlando. “The creative team involved in CRUDE has put together something vital, thrilling, bursting with gristle and energy. I can't wait for you all to join us in Blackstone, a blood-rusted world never before seen, where grit and greed are the currencies of the day."
 
“Visualizing the text that Steve has given me has been an astounding journey,” said artist Garry Brown. “Piotr Petrovich Bilibin’s path to redemption is just getting started, and I am excited to watch this project unfold.”

Get ready for an emotional, bone-shattering account of murder, masculinity, and mayhem.

CRUDE #1 hits comic book stores Wednesday, April 11th. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is Monday, March 19th.
