On the final dawn of an exhausted war, a rogue commander sets out on a warpath to confront a tyrannical baron.

CREATORS:

Story/Art: Fell Hound
Lettering/Logo: LetterSquids

SYNOPSIS:

Set in a sci-fi future after a decade of warfare against the despot Baron Klaus, a rogue embittered soldier decides to storm the Baron’s manor and kill him herself. A year later, stories are sung of her heroism, but the mystery of her motives remains. Thus begins the tale of COMMANDER RAO, a thrilling, fast-paced action comic of how violence begets violence, and how all the heroics of warfare are meaningless in the light of what has been lost.

QUOTE FROM FELL HOUND & OTHERS
:
“I never thought what began as an exercise to practice fight scenes would end up being my first published one-shot! With Commander Rao, I wanted to make something bombastic yet personal, a comic that would have you on the edge of your seat but leave you clutching your heart in the end. I hope readers will enjoy the fruits of those efforts. Being a fan of many Scout titles and creators over the past few years, it's all too exciting to have Commander Rao be a part of that roster! Thank you for believing in my comic.” - Fell Hound

PORTLAND, Ore. 08/24/2021 — Kyle Higgins and Felipe Watanabe’s breakout hit--Ordinary Gods—has sold out completely at the distributor level. Image Comics will fast-track both issues #1 and #2 for reprint in order to keep up with increasing demand for the series ahead of the exciting Ordinary Gods #3 release this September.


The Ordinary Gods #1 and #2 reprints will feature new cover art by Watanabe and Igor Monti.

"Ordinary Gods is a series that I've been working on and dreaming about for ten years—it's incredibly exciting to both Felipe and me for readers to finally see what we've been building," said Higgins. "Issue one was a shock to the system, issue two was the start of a recalibration. Now, issue three, is entering a bold new world. Christopher's journey, purpose, and the beings determined to kill him, are all building to an epic showdown at the end of the world."

In Ordinary Gods, readers meet Christopher. He’s 22. He's got two loving parents and a 12-year-old sister. He works at a paint store. He's in therapy. And, as it happens, he’s the reincarnation of one of the Five gods from a realm beyond our own, leaders in the “War of Immortals.” Now, in order to save everyone he cares about, Christopher will have to reconnect with his past lives and do the unthinkable: become a god again.

Watanabe added: "I was given this gift some time ago from Kyle and to help him tell this story has been pretty amazing. Now, with Joe joining us and being our great partner, it's been even more exciting to build this story six-handed. I can't wait for people to see what we're up to from issue three on."

In Ordinary Gods #3, the series welcomes a new member to the creative team—Joe Clark—to join Higgins as a co-writer. Clark is a multiple award winning music composer and arranger whose compositions and arrangements have been performed by the likes of Yo-Yo Ma, Randy Brecker, Jon Faddis, Kurt Elling, Phil Woods, Ira Sullivan, the Minnesota Orchestra, players from the Chicago Symphony, Louisiana Philharmonic, and more worldwide. His arrangements can also be heard on many albums, including Kanye West and Malik Yusef's "G.O.O.D. Morning G.O.O.D. Night.” He will join Higgins and Watanabe as a permanent co-writer on the series going forward. 

Ordinary Gods #1, second printing (Diamond Code JUL218467) and Ordinary Gods #2, second printing (Diamond Code JUL218466) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, September 22.

Ordinary Gods #3 (Diamond Code JUL210255) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, September 8.
