Black Summer #1 (of 7); written by Warren Ellis with art by Juan Jose Ryp
Suck the air out of a Coke bottle and leave it hanging on your face. Watch as the skin renders a red mark when you pull it away. Kind of get the same kind of feeling when you sleep on a coin for a bit. Wouldn't try it with a gun though. That's just a little too much like Russian Roulette.
This summer, the world goes black as Warren Ellis unveils his all-new super-powered heroes and villains epic that promises to be the biggest event of 2007! With art by the genius Juan Jose Ryp, no fan of The Authority or Wanted will want to miss this bleeding-edge eight issue masterpiece.
When the political situation in the USA becomes more than Horus can stand, he moves to take matters into his own hands. But since not all his other team-mates aren’t so eager to throw the world into chaos, an epic conflict starts to form. And no one will be safe as the bodies start to fall.

Now, Amber Benson gets in with the fray with a comic entitled,
Shadowplay, out from IDW Publishing...
In "Demon Father John's Pinwheel Blues," Amber Benson (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Ben [Templesmith] craft a tale of a syndicate of vampire street children that is turned upside down by new recruit Pinwheel.
In "Shunt," Christina Z and Ashley [Wood] present the tale of the perfect woman, who gives up the perfect life to uncover a heinous human slavery ring run by an elite group of vampires. Vampires who transform their beautiful female victims into the most sensually marketable product. Within the torture and depravity lies a twisted tale of obsessive passion and furious loyalty.
Apparently there is no escaping the claws of the Whedonverse.
