Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Absent Bodies!" Collects Cleaners (2008) #1-4. Written by Mark Wheaton and Joshua Hale Fialkov. Art by Rahsan Ekedal. In the dark tradition of Los Angeles noir, The Cleaners is the story of a ragtag team of for-hire trauma-scene cleaners led by ex-surgeon Robert Bellarmine. Contracted with sanitizing some of the nastiest crime and accident scenes in the tri-county LA basin, the team battles against what could only be described as the grim, unknowable face of the supernatural. But by focusing on the scientific explanation, no matter how aberrant or extraordinary, they counteract centuries-old superstition to prove things are seldom what they seem. In Absent Bodies, Bellarmine and his crew take on a series of gruesome tasks starting with a bloodbath that covers an entire neighborhood. This investigation leads them toward uncovering a disturbing mystery involving missing people-mostly children-which dates back longer than the history of the city itself. The co-creator/writer of The Cleaners, Mark Wheaton, was also the writer of the new feature film Friday the 13th! Softcover, 120 pages, full color. Cover price $14.95.

Written by Ken Pisani. Art and cover by Arturo Lauria.

The future: a dying Earth has been abandoned, the poor and weak left behind. While Earth's elite survivors colonized Mars, its outcasts - the miscreants, criminals, fringe-dwellers, crackpot scientists, and sociopaths - fled inward, to Venus ("a place fit for scumbags").

Three generations later, the denizens of Venus, strengthened by hardship forged in brutality and hellish conditions, are thriving. Attracted by the successful launch of Venus's second floating "cloud city," the corporate fascists of the Mars Council launch an insurgency for control of Venus ... but Braxton, the third generation leader of this colony of outlaws, will fight to save his family dynasty.

Previously published in Dark Horse Presents, this is the collection - and continuation - of Ken Pisani and Arturo Lauria's highly praised sci-fi drama Colonus.

1st Edition - 1st printing. Written by Neil Gaiman. Art by Michael Zulli. From the New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman comes a brand new hardcover collection, featuring two magical and disturbing stories lushly adapted to comics by veteran painter Michael Zulli (The Last Temptation). Newly rewritten by Gaiman for this graphic novel, these two ominous stories from the author's award-winning prose, Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fictions and Illusions, feature animals and people not being quite what they seem. In "The Price," a black cat like a small panther arrives at a country home and is soon beset by mysterious and vicious wounds. What is he fighting every night that could do this, and why does he persist? "The Daughter of Owls" recounts an eerie old tale of a foundling girl who was left - with an owl pellet - as a newborn on the steps of the Dymton Church. She was soon cloistered away in a local convent, but by her fourteenth year word of her beauty had spread - and those who would prey upon her faced unforeseen consequences. 2004 will saw the release of the much-anticipated MirrorMask, a film written by Neil Gaiman and directed by longtime collaborator Dave McKean for the Jim Henson Company and Columbia Tristar. Hardcover, 48 pages, full color. Cover price $12.95.
