The sixth issue of Fist of Justice is scheduled for a September release. Will we nail it? Of course! Know why? Becuase the issue is already drawn and colored. We’re currently working on issue #7 at the moment.

Our hopes are to keep FOJ out there every other month for as long as we can keep getting distributed. So if you’re a fan of the series — you NEED to have your local shop order these for you.

Here’s the solicit info for this issue:
A blast from Marc Mason’s past shows up and turns on the heat.  Because you demanded it! The return of Blaze!  And just who is this old man claiming to know who Fist of Justice really is?  Trust us when we say, he’s going to change Fist of Justice’s life forever!

Written by Mike Imboden, illustrated by Pow Rodrix, colored by Edemilson Alexandre, lettered by Ed Dukeshire, edited by Mike Exner III, cover by Chad Hardin

Prime Cuts is back after a little hiatus. Why the hiatus? Because we no longer solicit books until they’re completely done (minus lettering). This method should get our books out on the months they’re suppose to be released.

BloodRayne: Prime Cuts #3 (of 4)
by Chad Lambert, Chase Conley, Oscar Bazaldua, Pow Rodrix, Ed Dukeshire
covers by Michael DiPascale, incentive cover by Juanmar

Prime Cuts is back with three new blood-soaked tales — all set within the hit video game series! From a zombie plague caused by the Queen on the Underworld to a sideshow carnival featuring body parts of the original King of Hell, there’s plenty to keep Rayne busy doing what she does best!

Look for it in better comic shops March 2009

Sword of Dracula is back in an all-new mini-series. Originally solicited as a 2-issue run, we’ve upped it one issue because two is not enough.

Sword of Dracula: The Dracula War #2 (of 3)
by Jason Henderson, Greg Scott, Digikore, Ed Dukeshire, cover by Rich Pellegrino

The year’s most exciting vampire comic continues: The King of Vampires and the world’s most dangerous terrorist, Dracula, has taken over a major international airport. All entrances are blocked. Thousands are dead. Now it’s all-out war as Ronnie Van Helsing leads UN-backed commando force the Polidorium into the vampires’ lair. But Dracula has greater plans than he is letting on– as the clock ticks down on doomsday.

Here’s the info and cover for the 4th issue of Fist of Justice.

Fist of Justice #4
by Mike Imboden, Chad Hardin, Eduardo Savid, John Wycough, Ed Dukeshire, Mickey Clausen
Cover by Yildiray Cinar and Deon Nuckols

For Fist of Justice, adjusting to life in the 21st century hasn’t been easy: There’s the Internet, smartphones, the War on Terror, Hannah Montana — oh, and a 10-foot-tall monster made of molten rock intent on destroying everything in its path. And did we mention a rampaging horde of mole men? Suddenly, the 20th century looks a lot better.

Look for it in the October Previews for items shipping in December 2008.

March rolled in fast! And before you know it, it’ll be over. This month we see the following titles:

BloodRayne: Prime Cuts #2
by Chad Lambert, Ignacio Calero, Jake Bilbao, Dan Campos
The “stories within the story” of the groundbreaking video games continue with three blood-spattering prime cuts! This issue features a suicide bomber with a soul, the hunt for Kagan’s trans-dimensional nunchucks, and an evil so sinister it could only thrive in corporate America!

Dark 48 #2 (of 2)
by Steven O’Connell, Daniel Indro, Joel Seguin
Always expect the unexpected. Anthem lives by that motto, especially since they seemed to have found a male unaffected by the virus. That means there possibly can be a cure. To get him out of there, Battle Corp Delta will have to run a gauntlet through the darkened hallways, always watching their backs for the crazies. The hospital with all its shadows resembles a haunted house. They’ve been trained well but some scenarios like this one couldn’t have been imagined. One thing is certain, some of them will survive to fight another day…and one of them will die.

These titles should arrive in comic shops around the last week of this month. I believe BloodRayne will most likely end up falling into the next month around the first or second week of April. Keep watch here on the blog for actual release dates!
