BATMAN/DEATHBLOW: AFTER THE FIRE
Batman. Deathblow.
One
of these men is the world's greatest detective with unlimited resources
for his vigilante quest for justice. The other is a soldier, a black-ops
killer who does whatever it takes for the greater good. One holds life
sacred above all else, while the other wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet
in your brain if his mission called for it. So what happens when the two
meet? We'll never know...because Michael Cray, code-named Deathblow, is
dead.
WildStorm Productions proudly presents one of the most unusual crossovers
ever with BATMAN/DEATHBLOW: AFTER THE FIRE a 3-issue Prestige
Format miniseries written by Brian Azzarello (100 BULLETS, HELLBLAZER),
with stunning, evocative art by Lee Bermejo (SUPERMAN/GEN13) &
Tim Bradstreet (HELLBLAZER covers). The Dark Knight faces the daunting
task of finishing a job that someone else started but for reasons that
remain a mystery refused to finish. That someone was Michael Cray. And
as Batman picks up the pieces of this unfinished job, he digs up the past
of a man who was involved in political actions in which diplomacy was not
an option. The Dark Knight gradually learns the two had more in common
than he would like to admit.
AFTER
THE FIRE is a mystery that spans a decade a tale of secret agents,
double agents and a charismatic madman with a fiery, lethal touch. It's
also the story of two very different kinds of heroes, and the explosive
results of the two crossing paths...even if one of them is dead!

project is supported with house and trade ads.

GEN13:
SUPER-HUMAN LIKE YOU
TRADE PAPERBACK
Multitalented Adam Warren began a new era in the history of WildStorm's
resident super-teen group GEN13 when he took over the book's
reins as writer and cover artist. Now the first six issues of his run are
collected in GEN13: SUPER-HUMAN LIKE YOU a 144-page
WildStorm Productions trade paperback reprinting GEN13 #60-65.
With
artists ranging from Adam Warren (who provides a new cover), to the slick
good-girl art of Ed Benes, to the distinctive stylings of rising superstar
Kaare Andrews and others, there's something in this collection for every
comics fan. Beginning with "Behind the Power" a story that encapsulated
the team's past and presented its possible future Warren's trademark low
humor, vast knowledge of pop culture, and depth of characterization set
the stage. In short order, the team returns to La Jolla, California; is
reunited with a beloved figure from the past; battles a fast-food employee
gone bad; runs afoul of a trio of powerful brothers; and meets another
super-team (an encounter leading to romance for some, and a battle with
ferrets for others. That's right: ferrets. Did we mention the low humor?)
SUPER-HUMAN LIKE YOU is almost more fun than is allowed by law!
This
project is supported with house ads.
