Image Solicits for March
From
Comics
Continuum:
WANTED #4
Written by Mark Millar, art by J.G. Jones, colored by Paul Mounts,
cover by Jones.
It's mayhem in the underworld as the factions of the world-controlling
super-villain cadre known as The Fraternity square off against each
other. Who will live? Who will die? And what do the Dollmaster's
psycho-killer dolls have to do with it? Superheroes as you¹ve
never seen them before.
But comic book hype exactly as you've always seen it. ("Who will
live? Who will die?"? Wasn't that on the cover of every comic
from the 80s, especially if it was a John Byrne comic?)
PHANTOM JACK #1
Written by Mike Sangiacomo, art and cover by Mitchell Breitweiser.
Jack Baxter is a New York newspaper reporter who always seems to get
the impossible stories. He has a gift (or is it a curse?) to become
invisible at will. Sometimes he uses his powers for good, other times
for selfish gain. Despite his success, though, he's not a happy man. He
carries the guilt of letting a friend die in a foreign land, a friend
he could have saved if only he had the courage. And now he must go
back.
"Roach Motel." Meet the man who is not there. What would you do if you
were unseen? Jack Baxter confronts his fear to release the hero inside,
but no good deed goes unpunished.
Finally! And speaking of superhero clichés that never go
out of style, it's nice to see the
powers = gift + curse formula is
still limping along.
But the award for strangest solicit info has to go to...
BLOODSTREAM #2
Written by Adam Shaw and Penny Register, art and cover by Shaw.
Amber seduces the lab assistant and escapes her bonds. She then
navigates expertly through the BioGenCo complex as if guided by some
mysterious, unseen force.
And then she runs into some guards in the complex. And there's a
struggle. And I'm bored.
