James Bond, Red Sonja, The Spirit And Kiss Lead Dynamite's Full Solicitations For January 2017

For full disclosure, a story I did for Dynamite back in 2014 is bring reprinted as part of the Blood Queen Omnibus, so my name is listed below.

KISS: THE DEMON #1
Covers: Kyle Strahm, Tom Mandrake, Michael Adams Writer: Amy Chu, Erik Burnham Art: Eman Casallos

Before Blackwell, before Morpheus, there was the MUSIC. In a small town in Iowa, three young KISS fans meet at a concert and form their own band, unaware they are about to embark on a journey that will not only change their lives, but also the fate of the world. Prequel to the ongoing series.

KISS #4
Covers: Lucio Parrillo, Shouri Writer: Amy Chu Art: Kewbar Baal

Twin troublemakers Eran and Noa are back home. They now know Blackwell's secrets, but will anyone believe them? Fortunately, they have some tricks up their sleeves, and with some help from KISS, they are about to turn their world upside down…

Covers: Nick Bradshaw, J. Scott Campbell, Brandon Peterson, Giuseppe Camuncoli, Mel Rubi Writer: Amy Chu Art: Carlos Gomez

A new chapter for the Queen of the Hyrkanian Age. Our favorite warrior has faced the toughest of demons, foes and strange magic, but nothing has prepared this 6 ft. tall barbarian for…the modern world. Emerging from a subway construction site in New York City, confronted by cops and guns, Sonja fights for her survival in a new and hostile world. Is she here by accident or by design? Who brought her here, and why? By the creative team of Amy Chu (Poison Ivy, KISS) and Carlos Gomez (Dresden Files).

WILL EISNER'S THE SPIRIT: THE CORPSE-MAKERS #1
Cover: Francesco Francavilla Writer: Francesco Francavilla Art: Francesco Francavilla

A series of unexpected disappearances and deaths hit Central City. Initially these cases seem purely unrelated: no apparent connection between the victims makes it easy for the police to just file them as runaways or natural deaths. But when someone close to Ebony White disappears, The Spirit is on the case! From the mind of writer/artist & Eisner winner Francesco Francavilla, comes a thrilling tale of The Spirit that promises to tingle your spines.
