FEATURE ARTICLES


RELOAD/MEK
TRADE PAPERBACK

Click For Larger Image     Two tales from master storyteller Warren Ellis in one great volume: an espionage thriller that pushes action to its ultimate limits and a tale of revenge set in a not-too-distant future in which robotic enhancements have become the latest rage! The RELOAD/MEK trade paperback is wholly unique, printed in a flipbook format with each story featuring a separate cover.

     Paul Gulacy (CATWOMAN) & Jimmy Palmiotti (CATWOMAN, TWO-STEP) provide art for RELOAD, the story of Secret Service Agent Chris Royal. He thought the worst part of his day was going to be resisting the urge to smoke a cigarette, but before lunch, the President of the United States will be dead and Washington will be under siege…by a single woman! As thefourthrail.com says “RELOAD is important. You should read it.”

     On the flip-side, Ellis is joined by artists Steve Rolston (Queen and Country, Pounded) & Al Gordon (TOM STRONG) for MEK, a tale of cultural decay and murder. Sarissa Leon, one of the progenitors of mek culture, has returned home to find her city overrun with technological marvels — her “cyborg” children. But her return isn’t for nostalgia — she’s in town to investigate the murder of her former lover RJ Coin…an investigation that will lead her down a road she could never have predicted!

PLANETARY: CROSSING WORLDS
TRADE PAPERBACK

Click For Larger Image     Three stunning stories…three fantastic artists…one brilliant writer. Three PLANETARY crossovers — each written by Entertainment Weekly’s “It writer” Warren Ellis — are presented together in PLANETARY: CROSSING WORLDS! This 160-page volume, sporting a new cover by John Cassaday, brings together the following tales:

  • PLANETARY/THE AUTHORITY, featuring art by Phil Jimenez (WONDER WOMAN, New X-Men) and Andy Lanning, pits the world’s most visible team against the world’s most covert team.
  • PLANETARY/JLA, featuring art by Jerry Ordway (TOM STRONG), takes place on a world very much like our own, but also very different. On this world, Planetary is not who we know them to be…and neither is the JLA. Or are they?
  • PLANETARY/BATMAN, featuring art by Cassaday (PLANETARY), brings the members of Planetary to Gotham City on a mission to track down a serial killer. And that’s where they run into a hero who shouldn’t exist on this world: Batman!
