Published Tue, 17 Feb 2015 15:30:52 -0600

It's time for Providence. We first mentioned it a few years ago, and in May it comes to fruition…

GOD IS DEAD VOL 05 TPB
$19.99 US
Cover: Jacen Burrows
Writer: Mike Costa
Art: Emiliano Urdinola and Juan Frigeri
MR, Color, 160 pages

The Great Deceiver threw the world into chaos when after millennia of plotting and planning he finally killed God. Now Satan has initiated a pact to release the Titans upon the pantheons of gods still fighting for dominion over man. After all the Earth has been through, after all the pantheons have done to each other, after all the centuries of hate have boiled to the surface, what could possibly unite the Gods of old? Something unspeakable is coming to this devastated planet. Series author Mike Costa opens a World-shattering new story as the worst fears of the most powerful deities come true – the Titans have returned! More powerful than ever, and with horrific giant beasts at their bidding, the Titans are back and plan to eliminate the gods once and for all! This volume collects issues #25 – 30 of the ongoing God is Dead series.

NEONOMICON TPB NEW PRINTING
$19.99 US
Writer: Alan Moore
Cover & Art: Jacen Burrows
MR, Color, 160 pages

Prepare for Providence with the first chapter of the epic, NEONOMICON! Comic book legend Alan Moore (WATCHMEN) and brilliant artist Jacen Burrows deliver a chilling tale of Lovecraftian horror! Brears and Lamper, two young and cocky FBI agents, investigate a fresh series of ritual murders somehow tied to the final undercover assignment of Aldo Sax -the once golden boy of the Bureau, now a convicted killer and inmate of a maximum security prison. From their interrogation of Sax (where he spoke exclusively in inhuman tongues) to a related drug raid on a seedy rock club rife with arcane symbols and otherworldly lyrics, they suspect that they are on the trail of something awful… but nothing can prepare them for the creeping insanity and unspeakable terrors they will face in the small harbor town of Innsmouth. NEONOMICON collects Alan Moore's comic book series for the first time in its entirety – including his original graphic novel, THE COURTYARD, which chronicled Aldo Sax's tragic encounter with the (somewhat) mortal agents of the Old Ones!

PROVIDENCE #1 REGULAR COVER
$3.99 US
Writer: Alan Moore
Covers and Art: Jacen Burrows
MR, Color, 32 pages, monthly, 1 of 12

The most important work of 2015 begins here with the long-awaited arrival of Alan Moore's breathtaking epic PROVIDENCE with his artistic partner Jacen Burrows. In his most carefully considered work in decades, Moore deconstructs all of Lovecraft's concepts, reinventing the entirety of his work inside a painstakingly researched framework of American history. Both sequel and prequel to NEONOMICON, PROVIDENCE begins in 1919 and blends the mythical visions of HPL flawlessly into the cauldron of racial and sexual intolerance that defined that era on the East Coast of America. Every line from artist Jacen Burrows is perfectly honed to complete this immersive experience. The result is a breathtaking masterpiece of sequential art that will define modern horror for this generation. Invoking a comparison it to a prior literary masterpiece is not something to be handled lightly, but in scope, importance and execution: Providence is the Watchmen of horror.
Moore has designed every cover, every single page, and every nuance of this work to create his most fully-realized vision to date. There are no ads, all 32 pages are written by Moore, and Jacen Burrows has spent the past two years slaving over the finest detail possible on the pages. The entire work is already written, intricately crafted to tie the most nuanced threads together over the breadth of the series. Painstakingly researched, meticulously produced, this is a sequential masterpiece that will serve as important a call to the next generation of comic book writers as Watchmen did 30 years ago: this is a definitive demonstration of just how good a comic book can be. Available with Regular, Pantheon, Portrait, Dreamscape Wraparound, Women of HPL, and a special Ancient Tome Incentive cover, all by collaborator Jacen Burrows.
