(W) Brian Holguin and Todd McFarlane (P) Angel Medina (I) Danny Miki (Cover) Greg Capullo and Todd McFarlane FC 32 pp $2.50 Monthly ongoing series In stores the week of August 27th. THE CONCEPT: Al Simmons, once the U.S. government's greatest soldier and most effective assassin, was mercilessly executed by his own men. Resurrected from the ashes of his own grave in a flawed agreement with the powers of darkness, Simmons is reborn as a creature from the depths of Hell. Disfigured, homeless and alone, this warrior now known as Spawn wanders the shadowy alleys of New York City in search of his past life. THIS ISSUE: "Mad Shadows, Part III."?Spawn and Nyx race against time to unravel the mystery surrounding a bizarre rash of brutal murders. All the evidence seems to point to the existence of legendary monsters -- werewolves, zombies, vampires and ghouls -- that emerge from the shadows then disappear without a trace. Convinced that there is a flesh- and-blood face behind all this carnage, Spawn follows the trail to an unlikely and surprising source. Cover price $2.50.

The Realm has all the hustle and bustle of life on the Earth today, with a little twist: Dragons and ogres, swords and sorcery are the norms in The Realm, seamlessly blended with our familiar human counterparts. In this fun and light-hearted adventure, follow the lives of three television show actors as they fight to make it big in Hollywood while interacting with a world very much like our own, but oh-so different. Stronger than a locomotive! Bigger than a breadbasket! It's the tale that refuses to be contained within the tiny pages of a comic! The epic comedy about three actors trying to make the big time in a world where modern society has evolved alongside sorcery explodes into trade format! The story that everyone has been talking about (or should have been talking about) is here in one collected volume. With the masterful scribing ability of rising superstar writer ROBERT KIRKMAN and the unique comical storytelling of the ever-talented MATT TYREE, TALES OF THE REALM is guaranteed to have you begging for an ongoing series...unless there is something wrong with you, in which case you need to see a doctor immediately.
