2nd and later printings. Collects Helm (2008 Dark Horse) #1-4.

Written by Jim Hardison. Art by Bart Sears and Randy Elliott. Cover by Dan Jackson.

Matt Blurdy's day has gone from crap to worse. Not only did his girlfriend break his heart at work - and in front of all of the video-store patrons - but he just got fired. All that's left to do is minibike his sorry, thirty-year-old (and freshly unemployed!) butt back home to his mom's basement and drown his sorrows in a bucket of extra-crispy chicken while contemplating where his life went wrong. On the way home, Matt decides to quiet his aching heart with a brief detour to a garage sale. When an ancient-looking helmet calls to him as "the Chosen One," exhorting him to don the mantle of the "Valhalladrim," Matt touches it with trembling fingers-and is jolted by raw magical power. Holy crap! Is he going to be a superhero? Is this why he always felt special even when everyone else thought he was a loser? Then the helm gets a sense of whom it's dealing with. Suddenly, it changes its tune: "I was mistaken. You are not the chosen one. Good day."

Introduction by Marv Wolfman.

2nd and later printings. Written by Mat Johnson. Art by Warren Pleece. Cover by Stephen John Philips. Writer Mat Johnson (HELLBLAZER: PAPA MIDNITE), winner of the prestigious Hurston-Wright Legacy Award for fiction, constructs a fearless graphic novel that is both a page-turning mystery and a disturbing exploration of race and self-image in America, masterfully illustrated with rich period detail by Wareen Pleece (THE INVISIBLES, HELLBLAZER). In the early 20th Century, when lynchings were commonplace throughout the American South, a few courageous reporters from the North risked their lives to expose these atrocities. They were African-American men who, due to their light skin color, could 'pass' among the white folks. They called this dangerous assignment going 'incognegro.' Zane Pinchback, a reporter for the New York-based New Holland Herald barely escapes with his life after his latest 'incognegro' story goes bad. But when he returns to the sanctuary of Harlem, he's sent to investigate the arrest of his own brother, charged with the brutal murder of a white woman in Mississippi. With a lynch mob already swarming, Zane must stay 'incognegro' long enough to uncover the truth behind the murder in order to save his brother - and himself. He finds that the answers are buried beneath layers of shifting identities, forbidden passions and secrets that run far deeper than skin color. Softcover, 7-in. x 9 1/2-in., 136 pages, B&W.

Written by David Tischman. Art by Kody Chamberlain. Cover by Brian Stelfreeze. TRACE ADKINS continues his comic book adventure as LUKE McBAIN -- who's taken a job at his family's Louisiana timber mill to keep an eye on his brother, Paul. Sawdust is in McBain's blood, but his blood's going to flow if he doesn't watch his back. An industrial "accident" and a talk with the family lawyer prove that. Paul's up to something...but what? Later, sitting high above the town of Eden, McBain sees a big house and a fancy party -- a sad look at how easy his life could've been. The mystery deepens when a romantic walk in the woods with Callie turns deadly, as a sniper uses the couple as target practice. Times are hard, and people want him dead -- but this axe handle-wielding, God-fearing Southern man ain't goin' down without a fight. He doesn't say much, but you can count on McBain! 32 pages, full color. Cover price $3.99.

Written by David Tischman. Art by Kody Chamberlain. Cover by Brian Stelfreeze. Luke McBain recovers from the second attempt on his life at a local bar -- until his brother's henchmen disrespect his girlfriend. That's not the way you treat a lady. Insults are hurled, punches are thrown, and bottles are broken in an all-out brawl, Louisiana style. But as the sheriff drives up, McBain sneaks out the back -- using the arrival of law enforcement to cover his break-in at Eden's Hall of Records, where he discovers his brother's true plan for the McBain family Mill. Later, when those henchmen cause the death of someone close to McBain, he's forced to reconsider his choice 14 years ago. If he had done the right thing, none of this would have happened. In many ways, this is his fault, and he's going to make it right...even if it means going back to jail. Country superstar TRACE ADKINS continues his comic book portrayal of Louisiana ex-con LUKE McBAIN, in a story of right and wrong in the modern South. 32 pages, full color. Cover price $3.99.

But the cops are on the way, and it doesn't look good. McBain's going back to jail...if he doesn't end up dead. It's all been building to this, as Luke McBain makes a final stand for what's right, while those in power stand in his way. Grab a cold one and stay down.
