City of Heroes #1 (of 4); written by Steve Niles, art by Bernie Wrightson and covers by Jose Villarrubia
Walk up and down the streets long enough and the faces of people blur as too long on eye contact is often the start of something strange. What that strangeness happens to be, love or hate, depends on the heat of the day, the linger of the eye and the flick of the hair.
When it comes to horror comics, few artists can measure up to the legendary Bernie Wrightson. Now, after a long hiatus from making comics, Wrightson is back at the drawing table working side-by-side with acclaimed writer Steve Niles on the most exciting new horror comic of the year - City of Others.
Stosh Bludowski is a killer, born with the capacity for no apparent human emotion other than rage. Killing comes easy for Blud, and he makes a good living doing what's easy-until the day he meets two jobs in an alley who just won't die, and a grotesque mystery unfolds right in front of him. Soon, the remorseless killer is confronted by a reality he could never imagine, and he will be invited to make a decision once and for all . . . is he human, or is he Other?
"Bernie is one of my greatest heroes and influences in art. When it comes to horror, few creators have contributed more to the comics medium than Bernie has." -Alex Ross

Blood Nation from Platinum Studios is a lot of red, a lot of black, and a whole lot of, well, who knows when these things play all trailer and hand out little in the way of fish biscuits. Rob Moran and James Devlin take this into the two before John Keane comes in the second pair over Devlin.
Six limbs aplenty on the chopping block when Avatar Press let spew forth the
Plague of the Living Dead. Zombies, John Russo and Dheeraj Verma abound. Zombies this time getting another mix of the brain pie from fresh Vietnam War vets. Not that that isn't yet to be sucked dry yet.

The Creeper #1 (of 6); written by Steve Niles, art by Justiniano and Walden Wong, cover by Justiniano
