GEORGE CHANCE: THE GREEN GHOST VOL 01
(W) Greg Hatcher, et. al. (A) Zachary Brunner

Former stage magician George Chance, by various twists of fate, becomes an eerie vigilante to help the police solve baffling, unique mysteries. He is aided by his loyal crew made up of former glamour girl, Merry White, circus little man, Tiny Tim Terry, former bookmaker and gambler Joe harper and Glenn Saunders, a novice magician who is his identical double.
Created by writer G. T. Fleming-Roberts in the 1940s, the Green Ghost and his team battled all manner of villainy in some of teh most macabre pulp adventures ever recorded. Now Chance & Company are back in four brand new tales as chronicled by a quartet of today's finest New Pulp writers; Michael Panush, B. C. Bell, Erwin Roberts and Seattle's own Greg Hatcher.

High above the city, in a multi-million dollar penthouse, Danny Rand, a.k.a. Iron Fist, 'The Living Weapon,' is haunted by the consequences of choosing death over life. A message from Iron Fist's mystical homeland of K'un-Lun brings Danny back to his blood soaked origin of betrayal and vengeance! Revenge is a weapon that cuts both ways.... Will Danny survive the bloodletting? A one-of-a-kind kung fu action epic directed by the inimitable Kaare Andrews!

AW YEAH, the funkiest kung-fu fightin white man to ever grace the pages of a comic book is back in a barrage of golden fist fury courtesy of the dynamically diabolic Kaare Andrews!! Danny Rand has been seen here and there since the unfortunate cancellation of his near perfect series "Immortal Iron Fist," but fret not dear readers, the one true Iron Fist is back to punch holes of awesomeness into your brain with blood dripping pages of pure martial arts intensity!!

FIELD #1

(W) Ed Brisson (A) Simon Roy

A man wakes in a field wearing nothing but his underwear. He's got no idea who he is or how he got there. His only connection to the outside world is a cell phone that receives mysterious texts warning him of impending danger. Danger like Christian, an ex-Bible salesman in the middle of a crime spree fueled by Christian Rock, dirty sex, meth, murder, and keeping this underwear-clad, nameless, and past-less man close by his side.

From the writer of Sheltered and the artist of Prophet comes a new thriller with overtones of 'Old Boy' and 'Breaking Bad' as well as a weird, almost naked amnesiac dude thrown in for good measure! Simon Roy has been absolutely killing it on both 'Prophet' and his recent book 'Jan's Atomic Heart,' and with his fantastic sense of light and color, this is sure to be one hell of a ride! Brisson has also achieved some success with his recent movie/tv deal thing for 'Sheltered,' so don't miss out on what may be the next Hollywood blockbuster!
