    Empty Man (2014) 1A

    Written by Cullen Bunn. Art and Cover by Vanesa Del Rey. WHY WE LOVE IT: There's nothing scarier than horror that hits home-a tale of terror only one or two steps removed from our reality. THE EMPTY MAN is a dystopic version of the world we know, where a terrifying disease has taken on almost deific connotations. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: Cullen Bunn (THE SIXTH GUN, VENOM) and Vanesa R. Del Rey (HIT) are two of the most exciting talents in the industry, and perfectly in sync on this haunting new crime procedural. WHAT IT'S ABOUT: It's been one year since the first reported case of the Empty Man disease, and no drug has been able to slow its progress. The cause is unknown, and the symptoms include fits of rage, hideous hallucinations, suicidal dementia, followed by death, or a near lifeless, 'empty' state of catatonia. As murder cults rise nationwide, the FBI and CDC enter a joint investigation of the Empty Man, hoping to piece together clues to stop the cult and uncover a cure. 24 pages, full color. Cover price $3.99.

    Turok The Empty Souls (1997) 1A

    Regular art cover. The mantle has been passed down among the Saquin Nation for countless generations. It is a burden of responsibility -- of trust -- to protect mankind from a hidden threat. A race of evolved dinosaurs lives among us. Hundreds of years ago, they escaped an interdimensional nexus called the Lost Land and have been plotting, waiting, for the day when they can lead their people through the barrier to rightfully reclaim Earth as their own. The man accidentally responsible for allowing this to happen decreed that his family line would bear the weight of the world on their shoulders. The first born male in every generation would be Turok -- the Son of Stone -- the defender of Earth from the dinosaur menace -- and from supernatural threats and incursions from the Lost Land. The mantle has been passed on from generation to generation. For hundreds of years. The threat still exists. Now the current Turok is dying...and the next in line is more worried about hitting a breaking ball than saving the planet. Joshua Fireseed is a sophomore baseball star at Oklahoma College at Oklahoma City. He's turned his back on his culture, his traditions and his dysfunctional family because a .356 batting average, a possible pro contract and a rockin' social life matter more to him. Until he's called back home. And he's told he must begin his training to become the next Turok. To hunt dinosoids. To protect Earth. Because it's the family business. Nepotism sucks, don't it? Written by Fabian Nicieza, with art and cover by Rafael Kayanan. FC, 48 pgs. Cover price $3.95.
