Retail Price: $19.99 US
Cover: Jonathan Hickman
Writers: Jonathan Hickman and Mike Costa
Art: Di Amorim
MR, Color, 160 pages

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:Like a thunderbolt from heaven, the epic first volume of JONATHAN HICKMAN's God is Dead is here! Mankind has argued over the existence of gods since the dawn of time. In modern eras it's been fashionable to mock religious believers with taunts of scientific testimony and fact. But when the gods of old begin to reappear on earth and claim the domain of man for their own, the world is thrown into a state of utter anarchy. Now Horus walks the streets of Egypt, Zeus has taken over the Sistine Chapel, and Odin is coordinating the dissection of the earth among the returned deities. Mankind held sway over the world for thousands of years and their hubris over that time has made them powerful but when faced with the divine, can mortal weapons put an end to the second coming of the gods? As the world tumbles toward apocalypse, a group of scientists seek to do the impossible…give birth to the gods of science. God is Dead Vol 1 collects God is Dead issues #1-6.

DISENCHANTED VOL 01 TPB

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: SIMON SPURRIER welcomes you to Vermintown! The smash-hit webcomic is collected for the first time! Nobody gives a crap about the little people any more. Once they were the mainstay of folklore: goblins, leprechauns, pixies, and fey. But now? Dispossessed, forgotten, doubting even their own traditions, they've trickled into Vermintown: a vast and vile city of a million inch-tall malcontents. Sprawling through an abandoned subway station deep beneath London, here myth has given way to sleaze, drugs, gangland violence and interracial hatred. Vermintown is where magic went to die. What ever happened to magic? Disenchanted answers that question with all the ugliness of the fairy slums in this first chapter of the collected webseries disenchantedcomic.com.
