Announced at San Diego Comic Con, Avatar Press is publishing a new series, Dark Gods, by Justin Jordan and German Erramouspe, in November.

That's the one. Featuring drawings of ancient megalith monsters returning to the modern world… and they don't look particularly happy about all. But maybe that's just me reading too much into it.

Justin Jordan came to prominence with his Image series Luther Strode, while being picked up by DC, Valiant and Skybound, writing Green Lantern: New Guardians, Shadowman, Team 7 and Dead Body Road.

While German Erramouspe, is more familiar for his other work for Avatar, including Disenchanted, Night Of The Living Dead, Crossed and God Is Dead.

Here's the Diamond Previews article… clicky for biggy.

Of course, it's not all Dark Gods, Avatar Press also have a second volume of Si Spurrier and Erramouspe's Disenchanted Vol 2, a third volume of God Is Dead, and Extinction Parade: War reached the last issue of its second arc, #5, David Lapham keeps telling horrible stories of the Crossed, and we get two issues of God Is Dead, finishing that book's fourth arc.

Here are the solicitations for the rest of Avatar Press in November.

Mankind prayed for salvation. As the gods of mythology fought and destroyed around them, they hoped and spoke in hushed tones of the return of the Christian God. Now Jesus Christ has risen and once again walks among mortals. But thousands of years of recounting the stories of the Bible won't prepare people for the truth about the All Powerful. They believed that Jesus was the savior of the human race and that he would return to do so again. Now the Son of God has come back but his salvation comes as the most horrific of prices. The most audacious arc of God Is Dead has arrived as MIKE COSTA delivers the intensity and darkness in a world of divine wrath. God is Dead Vol 3 TP collects issues #13 – 18 of the ongoing comic book series.
