FARSCAPE: WAR TORN

     Farscape, the Sci-Fi Channel's hit television series, comes to comics courtesy of WildStorm Productions in FARSCAPE: WAR TORN — a 2-issue miniseries written by Marv Wolfman (CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS) with art by Robert Teranishi (STAR TREK: VOYAGER — PLANET KILLER) and featuring stunning photo covers.

Cover     American astronaut John Crichton, along with his shipmates aboard the sentient spacecraft Moya — Aeryn Sun, D'Argo, Rygel, Zhaan, and Chiana — arrive in a system inhabited by two different civilizations. Desperate for supplies, Crichton, Zhaan, and Chiana land on the Kylei, a tropical planet populated by a spiritual society. Meanwhile, Aeryn, D'Argo, and Rygel go to Garangee, a rocky planet with hard, industrious people.

     The Kylei and the Garangee have been at war over a third world, Tivara. Both claim it is their holy land, a place where infinite knowledge can be gained, knowledge that Crichton and company must have. Moya's crew must tread a delicate path to avoid fanning the flames of war between the two opposing civilizations, while attempting to gain access to the information that could lead the travel-weary crew back to their homes.

     This project is supported with house and trade ads.

     FARSCAPE: WAR TORN is a 2-issue miniseries from WildStorm Productions, edited by Neal J. Pozner. The 48-page issue #1 (with no ads) arrives in comic-book stores February 6 with a cover price of $4.95 U.S. Note: This is a resolicitation. All previous orders have been cancelled.


Enter a world where technology defines you.
ROBO DOJO

     First came the action-packed series NINJA BOY, followed by the otherworldly adventures in the TALEWEAVER miniseries. Now a third series proudly debuts as one of WildStorm Productions new "Pacific Rim" titles, ROBO DOJO — a 6-issue miniseries written by Marv Wolfman (FARSCAPE: WAR TORN, CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS) with art by Greg Lane (Robotech: Covert Ops) & Richard Bennett and covers by Michael Golden, set in a world where science is science fiction and state-of-the-art is history.

Cover     Join the members of Team Alpha as they enter the Mega Mecha Science Academy — a.k.a. "Robo Dojo" — the world's premier robotics and technology institute. The brightest young minds from around the globe are invited to develop their "robojin" — giant, powerful robotic constructs designed for everything from Mars exploration to deep-sea rescue. But others have something else in mind for Team Alpha and their robojin. And what threat does the nefarious Team Omega represent to their chances of winning the mysterious Platinum Project?

     Every issue of ROBO DOJO features a backup story: NANOBOTZ, written by J. Torres & Conor Libby with art by Dario Brizuela & Vince Russell. The evil boy billionaire Garreth Axton is threatening to destroy Techno City, and it's up to the Nanobotz — miniaturized heroes — to stop Garreth and his mechanical menaces. The tiny titans of Techno City are quickly on the scene, but will even their prodigious powers be enough to stop a plague of robo-locusts?

     This project is supported with house and trade ads.

     ROBO DOJO is a 6-issue WildStorm Productions miniseries, edited by Aaron Watanabe. The 40-page issue #1 arrives in comic-book stores February 13 with a cover price of $3.50 U.S. Subsequent issues will be 32 pages with a cover price of $2.95 U.S.


DIVINE RIGHT BOOK ONE
TRADE PAPERBACK

Cover     What happens when an ordinary guy ends up with the WildStorm Universe's most coveted secret? The surprising answers are found in DIVINE RIGHT BOOK ONE — a 176-page trade paperback collecting the first seven issues of the hit series, written and pencilled by the acclaimed Jim Lee (X-Men, WILDC.A.T.S., JUST IMAGINE…WONDER WOMAN), with inks by Scott Williams.

     Max Faraday, an underachieving student who spends all his time on the Internet (when he's not delivering pizzas), comes across something completely unexpected. He inadvertently receives the Creation Equation — a formula capable of tapping the limitless power of the universe. Now, all who seek the Creation Equation, including Internal Operations (I.O.), the Coda Sisterhood, and the evil Cardinal Lazarus, will stop at nothing to wrench its secrets from Max.

     Max, his sister Jenny, and his lowbrow roommate Devan Lawless find themselves confronted by assassins, ancient warriors, and demons at every turn. Not even the local burrito joint is safe! In order to survive, Max needs the help of the Fallen — a band of warriors sworn to keep the Creation Equation out of the wrong hands — plus an assist from GEN13's Lynch and Fairchild!

     This project is supported with house ads.

     DIVINE RIGHT BOOK ONE is a 176-page WildStorm Productions trade paperback and is suggested for mature readers. It arrives in comic-book stores February 27 with a cover price of $17.95 U.S. [New Release Date: March 6]
