On sale Jan 13

FC, 40 pages $3.50/Miniseries

A centuries-old interstellar conflict threatens humanity’s very existence as a long-lost Predator clan stakes its claim for galactic dominance, intent on exterminating its rival clan, the selfsame trophy hunters who have plagued Earth’s history and every world they have touched. And if the advanced technology and military precision of this new threat weren’t enough, they have an even more terrifying weapon at their disposal—Aliens, weaponized and under their malefic control. This puts earthmen in the dangerous position of parlaying with the same alien warriors who have relentlessly hunted them, and who better to carry out the negotiations than Machiko Naguchi, the only human known to have spent time alongside the Hunters.

On sale Jan 13

FC, 32 pages $3.50/Miniseries

Taking place after the events in Solomon Kane: The Castle of the Devil—but written to stand on its own—this new series delves deep into the horrors scattered throughout Germany’s Black Forest. When Kane comes across gypsies being terrorized by roving bandits, he’s not sure what’s worse—the bandits who wish to rob and rape innocent travelers or the evils that spew forth from the forest, intent on killing every man and woman around! With creature designs by Eisner Award-winning artist Guy Davis, this series uses Robert E. Howard’s “Death’s Black Riders” fragment and the “Rattle of Bones” short story as springboards to launch into a suspenseful and terrifying new excursion with Howard’s troubled Puritan hero.

FC, 40 pages $2.99/Ongoing

Defying Yasmela’s orders, Conan sets himself on a runaway course that will end his time fighting with the combined forces of Amalric’s mercenaries, the Khorajan army, and Julion of Koth’s rebel soldiers. Our newest issue marks a turning point in Conan’s career as a sword for hire, when he and his comrades find themselves without work or direction. An old battle wound threatens the life of Amalric, the leader of the restless mercenaries, and the rekindled affair between Princess Yasmela and Prince Julion continues to enrage Conan—who must take action in order to save face.

This original tale explores events alluded to in Robert E. Howard’s Conan tales, taking place right after Dark Horse’s Black Colossus story arc and building to the birth of Conan’s “Free Companions”!

Driven from their homeland by plummeting temperatures, massive herbivore herds migrate south in search of a better place to spend the winter months.

HC, 8 3/8" x 10 7/8"

Private investigator John Blacksad is up to his feline ears in mystery, digging into the backstories behind murders, child abductions, and nuclear secrets. Guarnido’s sumptuously painted pages and rich cinematic style bring the world of 1950s America to vibrant life, with Canales weaving in fascinating tales of conspiracy, racial tension, and the “red scare” Communist witch hunts of the time. Guarnido reinvents anthropomorphism in these pages, and industry colleagues no less than Will Eisner, Jim Steranko, and Tim Sale are fans!

Whether John Blacksad is falling for dangerous women or getting beaten to within an inch of his life, his stories are, simply put, unforgettable.

HC, 10 1/8" x 8 1/4"

Lewis Carroll’s universally known story of a little girl who falls down a rabbit hole into a magical wonderland is given a new spin in this lushly illustrated version of the classic tale.

Alice was sitting in a field reading when a white rabbit scampered by. She didn’t know what was odder: that the rabbit was running on its hind legs, wearing a jacket, and carrying a pocket watch, or that it was talking, shouting, “I’m late! I’m late!” From the moment she decided to follow the rabbit into his rabbit hole, Alice was transported to a fantastical place called Wonderland, where anything was possible. All of the familiar characters are here: the Hatter, the March Hare, the Cheshire Cat, the Caterpillar, and the wicked Queen of Hearts.

Meanwhile, Kate Corrigan heads to Hunte Castle in Austria, where Hellboy killed the Conqueror Worm, on her own rescue mission—to save ectoplasmic special agent Johann Kraus, possessed by the ghost of Lobster Johnson.

Written by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi, and drawn by 2009 Eisner winner Guy Davis, B.P.R.D.: King of Fear wraps up the Scorched Earth trilogy, which started with The Warning and The Black Goddess.

Buffy Season Eight Volume 6 showcases the first retreat of the Slayer legion. Vampires have solid footing at the top of the totem and Slayers have been crushed to the bottom—in short, no one likes Buffy anymore . . . least of all this season’s mysterious Big Bad, Twilight, who is hot on her magical trail!

Now that it’s the world against Slayers, Buffy must find a way to return the status quo to… status quo — and keep her girls alive long enough to do it! Enter Oz, the only person/werewolf Buffy knows who is down with the suppression of magic, and can take the Slayer army off of Twilight’s magic-specific radar.

With Oz’s assistance, the Slayers and Wiccans try to become “normal” through meditation and hard labor—although, not everyone sees the advantage of being magicless, namely, Willow, Giles, and Andrew. And they could be right. After all, is a peaceful life for a Slayer even possible? Collects issues #26-#30 of the ongoing series.

Eisner Award-winning artist Rafael Grampá (5, Hellblazer) makes his full-length comics debut with the critically acclaimed graphic novel Mesmo Delivery—a kinetic, bloody romp starring Rufo, an ex-boxer; Sangrecco, an Elvis impersonator; and a ragtag crew of overly confident drunks who pick the wrong delivery men to mess with.

Writer and director Christopher “mink” Morrison (Dust) and legendary artist Yoshitaka Amano (Final Fantasy, Vampire Hunter D) join forces to craft an unforgettable tale of destiny, danger, and hard-boiled sorcery, featuring over a hundred original paintings by Amano!

In the year 2020, bounty hunter Daniel Legend finds himself tracking a quarry of a different kind: his long-lost sister. Armed only with his wits, his gun, and a mysterious postcard, Daniel makes his way to the heart of the seedy Shinjuku district of Tokyo, where a clash between two underworlds—the criminal and the infernal—threatens the very fabric of reality.

GANTZ VOLUME 10

Hiroya Oku (W/A)

On sale Mar 31

b&w, 224 pages $12.99

TPB, 5 1/8" x 7 1/4"

Plots are starting to twist in the Gantz storyline! Has Kato disappeared forever? Who is this cute girl Kei’s falling in love with? Does someone on the Internet know the secret of Gantz? And who is this huge fighter roaming the streets of Japan looking for the greatest fighting challenge? Well, the challenge he’s looking for might come from the least likely of physical specimens.

So far, the story of Gantz knows few bounds when it comes to plot twists and a constantly changing cast. When it’s kill or be killed against a universe full of odd and resilient aliens, a lot of characters get killed off quickly. So far the most constant, and consistently evolving, character is Kei, a classic antihero. The question begins to set in . . . if Kei succeeds in fulfilling his contract with Gantz, will he be willing to give up these superhuman powers he’s begun to take for granted?

• Each volume of Gantz comes shrink-wrapped and carries an 18+ content advisory.

Despite the way “Baka Shinji” makes them boil, Asuka didn’t get her brains out of a gachapon machine, but from her mother, the brilliant but absent Dr. Kyoko Soryu. There could probably be less embarrassing places for a family reunion than at a drunken cherry- blossom-viewing party—but unfortunately, Asuka isn’t picking the occasion!

But even if he can evade those who are trying to kill him, Cade can’t escape the family legacy. Before this adventure is over, Cade will be forced to think about who he is and who he wants to be—helped along by his mother, his half sister, and the ghost of Luke Skywalker!

Dark Horse celebrates the month of November with a Thanksgiving tradition: excess! In that spirit, this epic installment of MySpace Dark Horse Presents is packed with all the excess we can muster.

First up, Conan, who can always be counted on to go heavy on wine, women, and song (and bloodshed). Darick Robertson (The Boys, Transmetropolitan) brings on the barbarism in part 1 of the two-part “Conan and the Mad King of Gaul,” a teaser for his upcoming One-Shot Wonder, Conan: The Weight of the Crown.

Solomon Kane may not be from Plymouth, but the conclusion of the Puritan warrior’s new tale by Scott Allie (Exurbia) and Guy Davis (The Marguis) is a feast of new monster designs, while a new Groo story by Sergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier (Groo: The Hogs of Horder) delivers more laughs than have any right to fit in two pages. Finally, Jeff Parker (Agents of Atlas) serves up dessert with a story drawn by newbie Ben Dewey. Join Dark Horse in giving thanks for this cornucopia of comics riches at darkhorsepresents!

MySpace Dark Horse Presents is a free online anthology that provides fresh content the first Wednesday of every month, with stories archived so that it’s never too late to join in and catch up.

IN THE WALNUT (YAOI)

(W/A) Toko Kawai

What do a gallery owner, Hideo Tanizaki, and a young, naïve filmmaker, Sohei Nakai, have in common? Well, both of them are 24-years-old – that’s a good start. They both graduated from the same art school – that can’t hurt either. The fact that Tanizaki has a perchance for art forgery is just one “minor” difference between the two that Tanizaki hopes to rectify pretty quickly. Under Tanizaki’s influence, Nakai is inducted into the shady world of counterfeit art and black market dealings. However, not all of Tanizaki’s soul has been corrupted by the promise of money and power. With a kind soul, perhaps even these high stake crimes can be put to good use.

High school freshman Shotaro Izumi has a problem. That problem is his childhood best friend, Makoto Natsuki. Natsuki lives the life of a prince. Ever since elementary school, his perfect looks and sweet disposition have won the hearts of everyone around him and attracted a gaggle of fans. But Natsuki's burst into fame has plunged Izumi into hell. Five years ago Izumi's offhanded criticism of his friend earned him the hatred of all the girls (and boys) in school, and it's only gotten worse since. His friendship with Natsuki was destroyed over the incident, and the ostracism has seriously warped his personality. The more Natsuki becomes a star, the more Izumi becomes a bitter social outcast. So when Natsuki asks Izumi one day what he can do to make up for everything, Izumi flippantly says "Go out with me" just to get a rise out of him. But to his shock, Natsuki takes him up on the offer—and seems to take it very seriously...

KING OF THE FLIES VOL. 1: HALLORAVE

by Pirus & Mezzo

64 pgs, Full Color, 9 x 12.5

$18.99 Hardcover

Set in a suburb that is both nowhere and everywhere, King of the Flies is a glorious bastard, combining the intricacy and subtlety of the best European graphic novels with a hyperdetailed, controlled noir style derived from the finest American cartoonists. King of the Flies first appears to be a series of unrelated short stories, each starring and narrated by a different protagonist, but it soon becomes clear that these seemingly disparate episodes weave together to form a single complex narrative, with events that are only glimpsed — revisited from different perspectives — revolving around a ne’er-do-well teenager at war with his stepfather and, apparently, the whole world. King of the Flies is designed as a trilogy of books, which will combine to form a single, stunning graphic novel!

ALMOST SILENT

by Jason

292 pgs, B&W, 6.25 x 8.5

$24.99 Hardcover

Almost Silent collects four original Jason graphic novels — three of them out of print for several years — into one compact and classy hardcover omnibus. “You Can’t Get There From Here,” the longest story of the book, tells the tale of a love triangle involving FRANKENSTEIN, Frankenstein’s Monster, and The Monster’s Bride! “Tell Me Something” is a brisk, near-totally-silent graphic novelette about love lost and found again, told with a tricky and tactful mixture of forward and back-flashing narrative. “Meow, Baby” is a collection of Jason’s smart short stories and gut bustin’ gags. “The Living and the Dead” is a hilariously deadpan and gory take on the traditional Romero-style ZOMBIE thriller. Almost Silent is a perfect starting point for a new reader as well as a handsome and handy, inexpensive collection for the committed Jason fan.

UNLOVABLE VOL. 2

by Esther Pearl Watson

408 pgs, Two Color, 5.75 x 5.75

$22.99 Hardcover

Loosely based on a teenager’s diary from the 1980s found in a gas station bathroom, Unlovable is the remarkable story of Tammy Pierce, as filtered through the pen of Los Angeles super-artist Esther Pearl Watson. This second and concluding volume picks up where the first volume left off and finishes Tammy’s tragicomic sophomore year of high school in 1985. This beautifully produced, dayglo-orange and sparkly pink hardcover presents over 400 pages of her sometimes ordinary, sometimes humiliating, often poignant and always hilarious exploits. Unlovable is about the rawness of trying to figure out who you are in a very public and humiliating way. Unlovable addresses these mysteries of adolescence through Tammy’s naiveté; girls and women in particular will find much that resonates, but men will also relate to Unlovable’s universal humor and wide cast of characters.

It's a perfect world, and it's up to Detectives Harvey Greer and Pete Ford of the Metro Police Department to keep it that way. But to do so they'll need to stop a techno-terrorist bent on returning society to a time when people lived their lives instead of merely experiencing them.

Measuring nearly 5” in height, this figure features zero articulation, zero accessories and zero signs of life!!

One of the most popular characters from that series is now the first in Kotobukiya’s new series of bishoujo figures that celebrate the classic character types in Japanese manga and anime, the “Legend Girls.” KAHO is the definition of the “imouto-kei” or sister type, an archetype seen in many Japanese stories. Clumsy and cheerful, the pretty cheerleader is known for addressing her brother as “Onii-chama.” Originally released as a garage kit in 2003, the legendary character is back and better than ever with coloring true to the anime series.

Kaho wears her brightly colored school uniform, standing poised on the toes of her right foot. Blown by soft wind, the pretty girl’s patterned skirt and brown silky hair flow naturally. The checkered skirt was the biggest hassle for painters of the garage kit, but no more! The detail work on Kaho is excellent, from her pretty face down to the laces on her tennis shoes and the intricate paint work on her skirt. “Moe” lovers will especially appreciate the space between her body and school uniform. Standing 7 inches tall (in 1/7th scale), Kaho was sculpted by Hide and is constructed of high-quality pvc plastic. Scheduled to ship in February 2010. (6600/PP361) (C: 1-1-3)
