Lazarus Order #1

Creative Team

Juan Doe (artist)Sloane M Siegel (writer)Juan Doe (cover_artist)

Description

In a medieval world where illness can lead to horrific and monstrous transformation, the Lazarus Order is mankind's final bastion, preventing uncontrollable chaos. Devout plague doctors have sacrificed their freedom in an oath to God, in exchange for supernatural abilities. However, their powers come at a great cost—the more they use them, the more it consumes them until they fade to nothing. Despite this sacrifice, they live in servitude and dedication to protecting humanity from vampires, werewolves, Rattusvir (Rat-man disease), the undead, and other variants of “The First Sickness.” Doctor Damien, a meek, middle-aged stickler for protocol, is sent to team up with Edward Talis, an older, opportunistic, charming veteran doctor. They respond to what seems to be a routine call to subdue and cure a Rattusvir, only to discover an omen that “The First Sickness” has set events in motion to destroy the Lazarus Order once and for all. Will they unravel its machinations before their oaths consume them? Or will they continue down their path towards righteous self-destruction, unaware of what foul monsters scheme beneath their feet?

Nikola Tesla TP

Giovanni Scarduelli (artist)Sergio Rossi (writer)Giovanni Scarduelli (cover_artist)

Description

Another unique book in Mad Cave's series of English print releases from Italian publisher Becco Giallo and Comixology Originals. Nikola Tesla follows two friends and collaborators making a film about the famous inventor's life—and debating, between themselves, the very merits of that reputation. Sardonic and honest, this graphic novel is a refreshing reflection on the extraordinary changes to modern culture since Tesla's era, as well as a fascinating insight into the turbulent life of the "mad genius." Who was Nikola Tesla? A brilliant inventor or a visionary uncoupled from his time? In this fictionalized exploration of his life, two filmmakers set out to settle the debate. Growing up in poverty in the mid-19th century under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Tesla studied and became an engineer on his own strength. He emigrated to America, where he was employed in the laboratory of the famous Thomas Edison, the inventor of the phonograph and the light bulb. But corruption and competition among Tesla's colleagues—chief among them Edison himself—led to the "War of Currents," a heated race for control of the world electricity market. Tesla came out on top of that race, but a strange and tragic confluence of events and prejudices led to his public downfall. With more than two hundred different patents and inventions over his lifetime, including the remote control and fluorescent lighting, Tesla is remembered today as one of the most important innovators in modern history. Sergio Rossi and Giovanni Scarduelli's funny, heartfelt retelling speaks not only to the inventor's legacy, but to our relationship with technology and the very concept of "genius."

Honoring over five decades of legacy, Speed Racer roars back to life with a high-octane new series that blends classic thrills with a bold vision for a new generation.

With the police closing in and a masked racer lurking in the shadows, Speed is about to learn that some races can’t be won with horsepower alone. Award-winning writer David Pepose (Space Ghost, Savage Avengers) and superstar artist Davide Tinto (Ultraman: The Mystery of the Ultraseven, Star Wars: Bounty Hunters) co-pilot an action-packed reboot of the classic franchise.
