Faith #10 Offers "Faithless" Jumping On Point, Four Covers, More Joe Eisma Art

Published Tue, 24 Jan 2017 13:00:50 -0600

A brand new supervillain team will make its debut in April's Faith #5, which Valiant is calling "a sinister new jumping-on point introducing The Faithless, a terrorizing team of foes sworn to eliminate the one and only Faith "Zephyr" Herbert" in a press release. If you're one of the fans who held off on checking out Faith, even when Valiant shipped double the number of ordered Faith #5s (the one with the Hillary Clinton appearance Bleeding Cool published something like 37 articles about), then this is the time to do it, we suppose.

To entice you, Valiant is giving you the choice of four covers, only one of which is called a "variant" for some reason:

AITH #10 (ALL-NEW ARC! "THE FAITHLESS" – PART 1)
Written by JODY HOUSER
Art by JOE EISMA and MARGUERITE SAUVAGE
Cover A by KANO
Cover B by JENN ST-ONGE
Cover C by ELSA CHARRETIER
Variant Cover by RIAN GONZALES
$3.99 | 32 pgs. | T+ | On Sale APRIL 5 (FOC–3/13/17)

Valiant, if there are four covers, three of them are variants. Don't lie to us.

You may notice that Joe Eisma is still providing the art for the main story, as we learned back in December that Meghan Hetrick has been injured. How is she doing?

I had someone ping me and ask how my back was healing up (TY for asking!). Short answer: better, but i'm only working between 6-8hrs a day.

Which means my ability to do interior work is limited quite extensively at the moment. I'm good for covers though, and commissions soon :)

Never in my life would I have thought that an injury like that could knock me off my game for so long, but, time and exercise are helping :)

Here's some more information about this new story arc from the press release:

The villains are coming! Faith's most ruthless rogues – superhero actor-turned-real-life villain Chris Chriswell, high-tech burglar-for-hire Murder Mouse, the incubus-inhabited feline Dark Star, and undercover alien saboteur Sydney Pierce – have finally united, creating an unstoppable coalition of evil with one singular goal: Destroy Faith Herbert! Together, they are The Faithless…and if Los Angeles' greatest hero doesn't think fast and fly even faster, they're going to ground the sky-soaring psiot for good!

And here's the covers:

An just for good measure, here's that Hillary Clinton cover again, for no good reason. What, you thought you were gonna get away with not seeing it one more time?
