"Each of the major characters, the Ranger, Tonto, Rebecca the Chief, all get insightful scenes. This book is one of the best on the stands, for it doesn't rely on big action sequences, but on its story." – UnleashTheFanboy.com
"For those that like the character, or simply want to read Western comics, this is a series worth picking up… it contains a lot of action, and gives the reader better insight into the origin of The Lone Ranger's faithful companion." – MajorSpoilers.com
"Nothing short of excellence. We've had a full year of great stories by the same creative team. That is VERY rare in today's comic industry… If you're not reading this title, you're really missing out. It IS a Western comic, but it's first and foremost a great comic book set in the Old West.

PANTHA VOL. 1: THE GODDESS AND THE DANGEROUS GAME TP

Brandon Jerwa (w)
Pow Rodrix (a)
Mark Texeira (c)

FC • 152 pages • $19.99 • Teen+

Leaping and roaring into the comic world from her debut in the pages of VAMPIRELLA, the mysterious crimefighter called PANTHA has endured since the 1960s. This feline femme fatale has remained relatively obscure over the years, but she always returns to give horror-action fans something scary (and a little sexy) to sink their fangs into. This new story presents Pantha as the last living avatar of the Egyptian goddess Sekhmet. Commanded by Ra to walk the earth for all eternity as atonement for Sekhmet's transgressions in life, Pantha seeks out evil in all its guises. With the power to transform from a beautiful woman into a feral panther, this is one super-heroine who is much more than just a pretty face. Reluctantly joining forces with a sorcerer, a demon, a vampire, and a sarcastic medium whose body is covered with chattering mouths, Pantha wages war against a mind-bending array of villains. If you can find another comic series that offers villainy in the forms of a snake-woman, the body stealing Whore of Babylon, a reincarnated Egyptian god, hybrid bat-people, public domain bloodsuckers, and the weird souls who lurk inside an ancient amulet…well, you should let us know, so we can contact our attorneys. Writer Brandon Jerwa and artist Pow Rodrix clearly enjoy playing with these characters, delivering a pulpy, Roger Corman-esque adventure that brings all the necessary action, intrigue, and characterization that comic readers crave…without forgetting that comics can be fun sometimes, too.
COLLECTION FEATURES:

• The complete 4-issue mini-series by Scott Beatty and Ron Adrian
• All of the fully painted covers by Alex Ross
• Sketches and character designs by Alex Ross

"The panels are dynamic and captivating, as the script allows the action therein to pilot this story to a strong finish." – The Fellowship of the Geeks
"As a pure pulp comic, Pantha delivers" – Unleash the Fanboy

MERCILESS: THE RISE OF MING TP

Scott Beatty (w) Ron Adrian (a) Alex Ross (c)
FC • 104 pages • $16.99 • Teen+

Set decades before the would-be interplanetary conqueror turned his attentions upon an unwitting Earth, MERCILESS chronicles the formative years of Prince Ming, heir to all he surveys and all the fabulous peoples of distant Mongo, a planet politically divided by its divergent species and as physically fractured as the ring of shattered moons orbiting it. Disillusioned by his father's rule and anxious to begin his own dynasty, Ming engineers events to seat himself upon the imperial throne of Mongo, sooner rather than later. Ming's ascent to power is as much a descent into his own depravity as he strikes alliances and sparks wars of expansion to cement his claim, finding time for love (or lust, depending on one's point-of-view) and uniting all of Mongo under one rule… HIS. Ming's adversaries underestimate him at their peril. He has a plan. In fact, he ALWAYS has a plan… and it doesn't end on Mongo. Armed with mindboggling weapons of planetary destruction, Ming the Merciless won't settle for anything less than dominion over his world… and every galaxy in the known universe!
COLLECTION FEATURES:

• The complete 4-issue mini-series by Scott Beatty and Ron Adrian
• All of the fully painted covers by Alex Ross
• Sketches and character designs by Alex Ross
"Beatty keeps Ming cool and merciless just the way he should be. It's actually very refreshing to see that the Ming we are introduced to at the height of his power was as cold and calculating a man during his father's reign."
