Description

David and Maria Lapham, the Eisner Award-winning creators behind STRAY BULLETS, redefine the noir with THE DETECTIVE. Deftly combining the master worldbuilding of both Ridley Scott's BLADE RUNNER and the Wachowski's THE MATRIX with the intricate storytelling of Roman Polanski's CHINATOWN, and the groundbreaking visuals of Jack Kirby's FOURTH WORLD, the Laphams deliver a seminal neo-noir sci-fi epic. It's a cold morning in The City when Valencia Vallez wakes up in an unfamiliar bed with a revolver in her hand and a dead body at her side. She doesn't remember how she got there. She doesn't remember much of anything. Just the long list of names buzzing around her head--suspects in the brutal gangland execution of her husband. Lucky for her, Val's a homicide detective. The only trouble? In the City, so is everyone else. Val's hunt for answers has painted a target on her back. Caught between the crooked cops hot on her tail and the towering mechanical Judges looming over the City's rain-soaked streets, every lead Val runs down only raises more questions. What secrets lie hidden in Val's missing memories? Who is the Mastermind? In The City, the truth doesn't come easy. And when it does, you’ll wish it hadn't.

Description

Blockbuster screenwriter Derek Kolstad, creator and writer of the internationally acclaimed, box office dominating motion picture franchise JOHN WICK, New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (SUPERMAN ‘78), and Eisner Award-winning illustrator Alex Maleev (DAREDEVIL), hit the accelerator in the next issue of their white-knuckle, globe-spanning action/spy thrill ride. High-end repo man Cole Norton has taken on a new gig. He’s been hired by the US government to sneak into Russia to steal one of their bleeding edge next-generation fighter jets – the deadly Spearhead – in exchange for a cool $50 million. Any US agent tasked with gathering intelligence on the Spearhead program has been eliminated…including CIA special operative Breck Stanton, Cole’s former Air Force co-pilot and best friend. With Breck murdered on the streets of Moscow, it’s up to Cole to recover the intel Breck died to protect. But the muderous FSB agent Kovalev is hot on his trail and he’ll stop at nothing to kill Cole and bury the stolen state secrets with him.

Blockbuster screenwriter Derek Kolstad, creator and writer of the internationally acclaimed, box office dominating motion picture franchise JOHN WICK, New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (SUPERMAN ‘78), and Eisner Award-winning illustrator Alex Maleev (DAREDEVIL), tighten the screws in the penultimate issue of their white-knuckle, globe-spanning action/spy thrill ride. After a daring highspeed rail heist, Cole Norton has escaped the clutches of the Russian FSB welcoming brigade and infiltrated the city of Vorkuta. Now, deep in the arctic circle, Cole’s left hunting down the only lead Cole’s murdered friend Breck left behind: a single name stashed inside a bottle of bourbon – Valia Petrov – Breck’s mysterious in-country CIA contact and former flame. Together, they may be the only ones who can pull off Breck's unfinished mission — seize one of Russia's devastating Spearhead jets for the United States and reduce the remaining fleet to ash. But the treacherous Kovalev won’t let Cole slip through his fingers again. This time he’s brought back-up – a fully-armed squadron of Spetsnaz soldiers with orders to bring Cole down…no matter the cost.

Description

From New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (BRZRKR, THE HERO TRADE) and master illustrator Lewis LaRosa (PUNISHER MAX, BLOODSHOT) comes an explosive cosmic odyssey of unparalleled scope and artistry -- now in deluxe oversized hardcover format! Twenty minutes ago, a massive monolith crashed into the heart of Baltimore, obliterating 16 square blocks. No one knows where it came from or why. Somehow, the monstrous deep space object evaded the global surveillance net. Three elite breach teams were dispatched to penetrate its outer shell and disable it. Ten minutes ago, it sprouted tendrils that began ripping apart nearby streets, cars and even people using the raw material to print itself larger. Police, SWAT, the Feds, even NORAD were powerless to stop it. Just two minutes ago, the megalithic anomaly achieved its final form -- a gigantic, hundred-story tall, humanoid, mecha-robot -- then began marching towards Washington, DC. Now, our only hope is Officer Jack Casey, a beat cop scarred by the past, who along with what remains of the breach teams must scale the robot from the inside. If they can reach the head, they can destroy it, but time is running out. The government has scrambled a nuclear response and the world has just learned that a second, bigger monolith is about to impact Earth. Collecting OLYMPUS SAGA: MEGALITH #0-3 – the best-selling series that redefined the comic book blockbuster event – THE OLYMPUS SAGA: MEGALITH DELUXE EDITION HC comes packed with bonus material including designs, process art, sketches, and more!
