HAUNT, the sales record-breaking new superhero series conceived by Todd McFarlane and Robert Kirkman, faces yet another sell out with both its first and second issues completely sold through on a distribution-level.
“Getting this reception a second time around has us all very excited,” Kirkman said. “HAUNT is having a tremendous launch at a period in time when the economy doesn’t really lend itself to people taking a chance on something new. Not only did the first issue set a recent sales record for Image, but as of last week the reprint and second issue are both gone despite very significant overprints. Todd and I are very appreciative of the fans and retailers supporting HAUNT. We hope to reward them back with years of stories to come.”
A serial killer is on the loose, one that hunts in public places and leaves no survivors, until now. Federal Agent O’Roark has been tracking the killer, but now he has become a victim, and one of two survivors. Forget about the full moon, Agent O’Roark’s life has just gotten hairy.

One of the most wonderful things about Bob Kirkman’s work on Invincible are the supporting characters, each of whom has depth and a life of their own, and most of whom have amazing named. Dupli-Kate. Shrinking Ray. Atom Eve. And the absolute, bull moose gonzo whopper most amazing name of all time: REX. SPLODE!

It’s been a while since I’ve done a full review checking in with the kids of Captain Dynamo, collectively known as Dynamo 5, the protectors of Tower City. In the absence of their deadbeat dad, five young people have banded together to fight against their pop’s old villains, working with his widow and the government agency known as FLAG (The Foundation for Law and Government) as superheroes. Recent months have seen the team break up, leaving super-strong Scrap alone to form her own new team. After a brutal battle with some of the most horrible creatures in their father’s rogue’s gallery, the original team is back together again… Just in time to get blindsided by their half-sister Synergy and her patron, the evil Father Gideon.
The fine people at Image Comics sent over sneak peeks of Savage Dragon #154, Sky Pirates of Neo Terra #2, and Tyrese Gibson’s Mayhem #3, all of which arrive in stores on November 4, 2009.
