Merc comic books issue 1

1st printing.

Story and art by Reinhard Kleist.

Musician, novelist, poet, actor: Nick Cave (b. 1957) is a Renaissance man. His wide-ranging artistic output - always uncompromising, hypnotic, and intense - is defined by an extraordinary gift for storytelling. In Nick Cave: Mercy on Me, Reinhard Kleist employs a cast of characters drawn from Cave's music and writing to tell the story of a formidable artist and influencer. Kleist paints an expressive and enthralling portrait of Cave's childhood in Australia; his early years fronting The Birthday Party; the sublime highs of his success with The Bad Seeds; and the crippling lows of his battle with heroin. Kleist's graphic biography, like Cave's songs, is by turns electrifying, sentimental, morbid, and comic - but always engrossing.

1st printing. Collects St. Mercy (2021 Image) #1-4.

Written by John Zuur Platten. Art and cover by Atilio Rojo.

From the writer of Jurassic World Evolution, The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, and Wanted: Weapons of Fate comes a revenge tale that spans millennia! No good deed goes unpunished.

When Mercedes Oro, a young missionary on the outskirts of a small frontier town, takes in and cares for a dying outlaw, the outlaw's gang repays her by attacking her mission, killing her family, stealing the golden artifacts she swore to protect, and leaving her for dead with a dagger through her heart. Unbeknownst to the gang, the cursed dagger resurrects Mercedes, and she is reborn as St. Mercy, an avenging angel of death.

Now, she's out to recover her gold and deal violent retribution to those who wronged her, all while confronting Toctollissica, the spirit in the cursed Incan artifact that's keeping her amongst the living.

Softcover, 128 pages, full color.
