    (W) Jay Faerber (P) Billy Dallas Patton & Patrick Gleason (I) Damon Hacker & John Wycough You've asked us and asked us, "When is Image going to do super-hero books again?" Well, be careful what you wish for. This September, Image Comics proudly presents NOBLE CAUSES. We invite you to see a new side to the world's most famous super-heroes, a side that they don't want you to see. The Nobles are just like your family, that is if you family were rich, beautiful, and super-powered. NOBLE CAUSES is true labor of love written by Jay Faerber, the current writer of Titans from DC Comics, and a regular contributor to the quarterly anthology series, Gen-Active. No stranger to intriguing character driven stories and interpersonal relationships, Jay's past work includes stints on Green Lantern, Superboy, Generation X, New Warriors, and the X-Men. He and an incredible band of artistic jump starts have created a world where drama and power play out together in surprising new ways. It's the Fantastic Four meets the Kennedys. It's a book so entertaining that you'll punch yourself silly for missing. NOBLE CAUSES: FIRST IMPRESSIONS is a completely self-contained introduction to this new, on-going series. NOBLE CAUSES #1 will be released later this winter after we have several more issues inventoried and ready to print. Super-heroes? Yes. Role models? No. NOBLE CAUSES: FIRST IMPRESSIONS, a big first step into an even bigger, compelling new world. A self-contained introductory one-shot to the upcoming ongoing series. Every girl thinks her boyfriend is a catch, but Georgetown bookseller Liz Donnelly's got bragging rights --she's dating Dash Noble, the famous super-hero with the quick smile and quicker legs. She and Dash have reached that special place in their relationship where he wants her to meet his family... and what a family it is! The Nobles are the planet's premiere super-heroes, worshipped and adored the world over, but there's a side to them that the public doesn't see... a side they keep hidden. Join Liz as she becomes the first person to go behind closed doors and see the Noble family as they really are. Jay Faerber (Titans, New Warriors, Generation X) unveils his first creator-owned work in this introductory one-shot, which serves as the lead-in to the NOBLE CAUSES ongoing series, debuting in December! Featuring the incredible art team of penciller Billy Dallas Patton and inker Damon Hacker. BONUS 8-PAGE FLASHBACK TALE! When Liz arranged for the author of a "tell-all" book about the Nobles to do a signing at her bookstore, she hoped it'd bring in some customers... she never expected it'd bring in Dash Noble himself! See how Liz first met Dash in this Flashback Adventure, written by series creator Faerber and drawn by the regular back-up team of penciller Patrick Gleason & inker John Wycough! Cover price $2.95.

    But Lizzy's life comes apart when she steals a handful of coins from a sacred well to cover a debt. The well requires repayment, but it doesn't deal in coins. It needs wishes, and its minions will drown Lizzy in its depths if she doesn't grant them. Lizzy finds herself on a quest to uncover hidden memories, bestow great wealth, and face the magical secrets that nearly destroyed her family-and are now returning to threaten everything she has ever known.

    Story and art by Heloise Chochois.

    A young man has a horrible motorcycle accident. He wakes up in the hospital to discover that one of his arms has been amputated. Then a portrait on the wall of his hospital room begins to speak to him.

From this wonderfully absurd premise, the two begin an imaginary conversation that takes them through a sweeping history of surgical amputation, from the Stone Age to the Space Age.

    An adult graphic novel with a hilarious and satirical take on the "gig economy" as the residents of Fairhaven constantly hire the nearest monster hunter to keep their lives somewhat peaceful and intact.

    Based on the smash-hit audio serial, Bubble is a hilarious high-energy graphic novel with a satirical take on the "gig economy."

    Built and maintained by corporate benevolence, the city of Fairhaven is a literal bubble of safety and order (and amazing coffee) in the midst of the Brush, a harsh alien wilderness ruled by monstrous Imps and rogue bands of humans. Humans like Morgan, who's Brush-born and Bubble-raised and fully capable of fending off an Imp attack during her morning jog. She's got a great routine going-she has a chill day job, she recreationally kills the occasional Imp, then she takes that Imp home for her roommate and BFF, Annie, to transform into drugs as a side hustle. But cracks appear in her tidy life when one of those Imps nearly murders a delivery guy in her apartment, accidentally transforming him into a Brush-powered mutant in the process. And when Morgan's company launches Huntr, a gig economy app for Imp extermination, she finds herself press-ganged into kicking her stabby side job up to the next level as she battles a parade of monsters and monstrously Brush-turned citizens, from a living hipster beard to a book club hive mind.

    1st printing.

    Story and art by Tyler Page.

    A graphic memoir about Tyler, a child who is diagnosed with ADHD and has to discover for himself how to best manage it. Tyler's brain is different. Unlike his friends, he has a hard time paying attention in class. He acts out in goofy, over-the-top ways. Sometimes, he even does dangerous things-like cut up a bus seat with a pocketknife or hang out of an attic window.

    To the adults in his life, Tyler seems like a troublemaker. But he knows that he's not. Tyler is curious and creative. He's the best artist in his grade, and when he can focus, he gets great grades. He doesn't want to cause trouble, but sometimes he just feels like he can't control himself.

    In Button Pusher, cartoonist Tyler Page delves into his childhood experiences and explores what it means to grow up with ADHD. From diagnosis to treatment and beyond, Tyler's story is raw and enlightening, inviting you to see the world from a new perspective.

But Suri's self-confidence, cleverness, and ambition serve her well when a mysterious new wagon joins her camp-holding something very big, very loud, and very monstrous.
