VENOM: DARK ORIGINS #1 (of 5) - MARVEL COMICS
Find out the origins of the former employee of the Daily Bugle - Eddie Brock and the merger of the living alien symbiote. Zeb Wells and Angel Medina tackle the retelling of one of Spider-man's most renowned villain, Venom. A five part mini-series.
On the unlikely day when an embittered, washed-up journalist met a spurned symbiotic organism from an alien planet, one of Spider-Man’s greatest enemies was born – a force of evil and vengeance like no other in the Marvel Universe – VENOM! But is it as simple as that? Discover the true, twisted roots that gave rise to a lifetime of malevolence for Eddie Brock…AND the symbiote! Writer Zeb Wells (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN) and artist Angel Medina (SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN) shed a little light on one of Marvel’s darkest monsters!
Extreme violence and profanity, that's what we can expect from Garth Ennis' new mini-series - Crossed, a ten-part series. Crossed explores the pure evil that humans are truly capable of indulging after civilization crumbles in one terrifying moment by a worldwide infection that turns their victims into homicidal maniacs. Certain to be the most depraved and corrupt book of the year, this one is not for the faint of heart! Recommended for mature readers. From the team that brought you “Chronicles of Wormwood”.
Following up from Okko: Cycle of Water, Archaia Studio Press returns with Okko: Cycle Of Earth. Originally published in French and now the series is adapted for the English language. It is the Winter of 1109 in the official calendar of the Pajan Empire. Okko and his faithful companions - the mysterious masked Noburo, Noshin the monk and young Tikku - arrive at the City of the Blasting Powder. While seeking a guide to help them cross the perilous chain of the seven monasteries, they meet a skillful warrior: Mow of the Wind. Recommended for mature readers - contains violence adult themes, a four-part series.
Fathom volume three returns with an explosive first issue, continuing after the events of volume two and Fathom: Kiani. Aspen and Chance's romantic getaway is interrupted as they are put up against the murderous Killian and his daughter Kiani, as they try to strike the human race. Story by J.T Krul, Ale Garza and Sal Regla.
Robert Kirkman's Image universe continues to grow with another one of his characters getting his own ongoing series - Brit. The old timer is a superhero agent who works for a defence agency. Brit teams-up with Donald Ferguson on missions and answers to Cecil Stedman, who both appear in Kirkman's Invincible. So if you like Invincible, you will enjoy Brit.
Brought out of retirement, Brit is faced with a failing marriage, a new boss, an insecure partner and the return of... his sister? A new threat looms on the horizon that threatens to destroy the world. Brit will take it down, or die trying.
