Published Mon, 17 Feb 2020 09:00:15 -0600

As Black Mask make their switch to original graphic novels and collection – apart from those rare moments when they go mad – here are Black Mask's May 2020 solicitations, seen here for the first time, probably. And we being with Maria Llovet, making quite a name for herself in American comics right now.

LOUD [OGN – paperback]
Writer / Artist: Maria Llovet
Mature
$9.99
96 pages / Full Color
ISBN: 978-1-62875-240-3
Synopsis: The LOUD nightclub. A latecomer stripper, a pissed waitress, a hitmen couple, a suspension bondage performer, a pregnant teenager, a clan of vampires, a pedophile, a lesbian junkie, a divorcing middle-aged woman, a sadistic dominatrix, and many other souls in search of love, drugs, and blood converge at the hottest club in town on a night that none will ever forget. If they survive.
LOUD is like THE HUNGER if directed by Tarantino — a stylish, tripped-out bloodbath of beautiful and vicious decadence.
You'll feel the beat throbbing in your skull, smell the sweat, taste the blood, and lose yourself in the wicked underworld masterfully wrought by MARIA LLOVET (Faithless, There's Nothing There).
LOUD is the kind of book that will get into your spine and give you flashbacks twenty years later, you'll turn to your friend and say "remember when comics had guts and creators made books like LOUD?"
The smash hit that instantly sold out of its hardcover printing, now available for the first time in paperback.

But he's also a dangerous candidate for one reason unknown to Mezign: Colin's true motive is to enter the mind of his catatonic daughter and bring her out of a coma.
