A week and a half away, we already know that Nonplayer by Nate Simpson from Image Comics will be the big breakout hit of 2011. It's a given. Joining Chew, Morning Glories, Skullkickers and 27 as Image breakout hits. But what else is coming out shortly that may challenge it?

The Next Nonplayer – Green Wake?

Kurtis Wiebe and Riley Rossmo give us a tale that seems ripped from Vertigo and, like Chew, one they probably turned down. A tale of a town that seems very much like purgatory, far more than the locations seen in Lost or Twin Peaks. In that its denizens are lost, are trapped, there are rumours of a gleming city somewhere near.

And we meet two detectives in this town investigating that rare thing, a murder. Both are human but one is looking distinctively less.

The Next Nonplayer – Green Wake?

But this is not just some kind of CSI: Limbo, it's a disjointed journey of a separated man and a woman, with a foreshadowing of disaster ahead. This is not Undying Love, this is Love That Rotten A Long Time Ago But Is Still Dragging Them Along. It's dirty, it's rancid, it smells off the page. And it's pure dead brilliant. ANd I want a Carl plushie please,

Green Wake is published on the 6th April from Image Comics.
