Big week for Avatar Press as 4 different books hit the shelves including Crossed: Badlands, Crossed +100, Mercury Heat and Providence.

Crossed: Badlands #86

In the heart-stopping conclusion of "The Lesser of Two Evils," the remaining bridge survivors must fight for their lives… Against each other! After their humane gesture to save the lives of Morgan and Olivia by taking them into their confidence and welcoming them into the safety of the bridge stronghold, the group begins to fall victim to their own paranoia of one another. But is their distrust genuine, a result of the "survival guide" whose words they have followed to the letter, or perhaps something far, more sinister… And premeditated? Available with Regular & Torture Covers by Christian Zanier, Wraparound Cover by Ignacio Calero, C-Day Worldwide Cover by German Nobile, Art Deco Cover by Michael Dipascale, and Red Crossed Incentive Cover also by Zanier.

Crossed +100 #9

Simon Spurrier continues to take the incredible self-sustaining world of Alan Moore's Crossed +100 into a frightening new direction. Future Taylor attempts to uncover the cause behind the rising tide of Crossed populations in the new world. And in the darkness she finds that something insidious may cause her to question her most dear beliefs.

Mercury Heat #4

Kieron Gillen is unleashed in an original sci-fi epic like you've never seen! Cantankerous cop Luisa is on the trail of a killer and no amount of psychotic cyborg locals are going to get in her way. Fast paced action mixed with awesome sci-fi concepts makes Mercury Heat the must read thrill ride of the year. The smash-hit of FCBD continues monthly with the future world where cyborgs and memory crystals crash into a good old-fashion cop drama! Available with Regular, Wraparound, Art Nouveau, Excessive Force, and a special Interstellar Incentive Cover by Nahuel Lopez.

Providence #5

Alan Moore's horror event of the year continues to push the limits of the comic book medium with an incredible ad-free 40 page fifth issue! Robert Black is discovering a hidden underbelly of mind snapping terror as he uncovers the layers of repressed horror around him. This work has been researched and developed by Moore and Burrows over the course of several years. The end result is an amazing tome of Lovecraftian influenced nightmares where Moore has written every cover, every single page, and every nuance of this work to create his most fully-realized vision to date. Fans of Moore's immersive style and meticulous grasp of storytelling will be thrilled to add this essential piece of comics history to their collections! Available with Regular, Pantheon, Portrait, Dreamscape Wraparound, Women of HPL, and a special Ancient Tome Incentive cover, all by collaborator Jacen Burrows.
