EX-CON #1

Dynamite is proud to present Ex-Con, the next book in a series of creator driven comics – with The Creators Unleashed, featuring all new concepts and characters from the industry's best and brightest! This month, we present Ex-Con, written by Duane Swierczynski (Cable/Deadpool. Judge Dredd)! 1985: L.A. con artist Cody Pomeray had a gift for looking inside a mark's soul with just a glance. But one fateful night, he targeted the wrong man — and was sentenced to the most savage prison in California. Pomeray would have been beaten to death on his first day if not for the intervention of Barnaby Creed, the most powerful crime lord in the Southland… 1989: Now Pomeray's out on parole, robbed of his special ability and tasked with doing Creed "a little favor." He has no idea he's just stepped into a long con, and this time, *he's* the mark…

ALICE COOPER #1
Joe Harris (w) Eman Casallos (a) David Mack (c)

The X-Files' Joe Harris takes on The Prince of Darkness – Alice Cooper in his FIRST ongoing comic series! Rock n' roll legend Alice Cooper was never a stranger to the mystic and the macabre. His stage shows were the stuff of legend, featuring snakes and pyrotechnics and the invocation of dark themes and darker forces. But while he was a legend in the waking world, few knew his role as "The Lord of Nightmares" beyond it, where he watched over us while we dreamed, and delivered horrors unto the deserving. Only someone took it all away from him, cast him out of his realm and locked him away… until now. And if he's going to reclaim his dark throne, he's going to need all the help he can get!

CHAOS #5
Tim Seeley (w) Mirka Andolfo (a) Emanuela Lupacchino, Tim Seeley, Nei Ruffino (c)

The secret origin of Purgatori revealed as the Chosen kids make their way to The Clearview Mental Institution to confront Dr. Price, Chastity and Evil Ernie before they can unleash a wave of mutilation! There's still time to pick up one of the most horrific comic books out there!

JIM BUTCHER'S THE DRESDEN FILES: WAR CRY #4
Jim Butcher, Mark Powers (w) Carlos Gomez (a) Stjepan Sejic (c)

A surprise ally has appeared, offering Harry and his beleaguered team salvation. Unfortunately, Baron Bravosa and his army of Red Court vampires have an ace up their collective sleeve–one that puts Dresden and co. at an even more severe disadvantage. With hours still to go till sunrise, Harry will be forced to make a decision that could win them the battle — but lose the war…

DEJAH OF MARS #4
Mark Rahner (w) Jethro Morales (a) Jay Anacleto (c)

FINAL ISSUE!!! Ruthless! Reckless! Remorseless! Dejah Thoris will shoot, hack and smash her way to her abducted husband – half a step ahead of the Helium Royal Guard. But the Red Reaper may kill John Carter first trying to extract the secret of his immortality. And if he can't do that, he's taking everyone on Barsoom with him – by activating the giant red cannons buried around the planet! The death-filled conclusion of Mark Rahner's brutal meditation on life and death after the end of Issus!
