"V for Vendetta writer Alan Moore and artist David Lloyd are throwing their support behind the growing Occupy Comics project along with Madman's Mike Allred and American Splendor's Dean Haspiel. Their support for Occupy Comics is another worthy piece of the 99 percent's overdue payback." - Wired "Regardless how you feel about the Occupy Movement, you'll find worthwhile stuff in this comic... great art, interesting history." - IGN "An unforgettable statement from the comics community." - Bleeding Cool The largest, most star-studded coalition of socially-conscious creators in the history of comics is now a book - and it's already a modern classic. Occupy Comics has inspired, shocked, enlightened, and provoked with its chorus of diverse voices. Featuring an all-star team of comic book legends while also debuting some of the hottest new creators around, Occupy Comics will stand the test of time. This deluxe book collects the Occupy Comics comic book series, launched in the early days of Occupy Wall Street to provide a forum for artistic expression about the goals and themes of the Occupy movement, create a time capsule of the protests, and raise funds to support the protesters (all profits are donated to Occupy-related initiatives). Collected book contains a 10-page, previously unreleased story by Amanda Palmer (Dresden Dolls) and David Mack (Kabuki, Daredevil).

Animal cruelty is the most pervasive form of torture in the modern world. The heroes who fight it don't wear capes, they wear ski-masks. Whether it's vicious dog-fighting clubs or senseless lab experiments force-feeding oven cleaners to monkeys, Jeanette Francis and Damon Guerrero have had enough. Using any and all means available to them, Jeanette and Damon not only rescue the animals but also avenge them - delivering harsh retribution to the animals' captors and tormentors. "Liberator is a comic with a purpose, a voice, and a platform. It also happens to be incredibly well written and paced. It's well worth your money, and some of the profits go to an incredible cause." - Bloody Disgusting A hard-edged vigilante series about young heroes who avenge the torture of animals, created by writer and real-life dog rescuer Matt Miner (Occupy Comics) with art by Javier Sanchez Aranda (Star Trek: The Next Generation). Cover by Tim Seeley (Revival, Hack/Slash). * 30% of Liberator profits will go to animal rescue initiatives. * "Unlike any comic book to date, Miner delivers a message about animal abuse with expert knowledge on the matter, while blending it with a gritty protagonist in the vein of Batman." -Comic Booked "It's refreshing to see a comic hero fighting for something I care about, rather than protecting the financial security of the rich and middle class. The comic world hasn't had anything approaching this since Grant Morrison's Animal Man chickened out during a laboratory arson... Comic books have always had the power to make the impossible and outlandish seem attainable, allowing us to get lost in vibrant fantasy. Following in this tradition, Liberator helps to bridge the gap between superherodom and ourselves. Damon doesn't do anything that any of us couldn't, a fact which makes his acts all the more extraordinary. -Earth First Journal Inspired by the exploits of ordinary people who risk their lives and freedom for defenseless animals, Liberator is a superhero comic for readers interested in real-world justice doled out to real-world villains. "It has an infectious energy, a bold purpose, and will speak to many... Liberator strikes for the core of the movement and will resonate with a far wider audience than anything more explicit or shocking. This ain't PETA, it's far too considered and powerful for that." - Comics Beat This book collects Liberator issues 1-4 into a single volume for the first time. It also includes 40 pages of brand-new, previously unreleased comics taking place in the Liberator world by a murderer's row of incredible, animal-loving comics creators: "This Is You" Written by Tim Seeley Illustrated by Tim Seeley (pencils/inks), K.

"A genuine spark of innovation is a precious thing, and Ballistic, by filmmaker Adam Egypt Mortimer and comics star Darick Robertson, transmits that spark with shocking force. It's a future classic, and it comes out in collected form next month." - Publishers Weekly Darick Robertson (Transmetropolitan, The Boys) and Adam Egypt Mortimer's madcap, psychedelic, transreal, utterly-wacko buddy adventure about Butch and his best friend Gun, a drug-addicted, genetically-modified, foul-mouthed firearm, as they attempt to elevate Butch from air conditioner repairman to master criminal in the twisted, eco-apocalyptic Repo City State, a reclaimed trash island built from DNA-based, living technology with bad attitudes. Ballistic marks Darick Robertson's return to the hard sci-fi worldbuilding of his classic Transmetropolitan, but mixed with The Boys' ultra-violence and the lunacy of Happy. Mortimer's mix of speculative science, pulpy noire, and drug-addled adventure cooks up a strange brew of Lethal Weapon by way of Cronenberg meets Dr. Who if written by Odd Future. Forward by Grant Morrison.

2015 Best Books of 2015 - Kirkus “Deftly unorthodox and wickedly delectable; not so much a story as an experience.” - Kirkus (Starred) "A horrific yarn of quantum physics, culture jamming, and conspiracy theory." - Wired "Saga meets Johnny The Homicidal Maniac! Pizzolo sprinkles a little of everything naughty and twisted into this unpredictable adventure/horror/sci-fi mash-up that is definitely not for kids, but it's damn cool. - Aint It Cool News Fallen gods, weaponized orgasms, and quantum physics-wielding technowizards collide in Pizzolo and Wieszczyk's beloved modern classic about a teenage orphan named Tommy and an escaped slavegirl named Halfpipe who travel through a post-nuke wasteland in search of a new heart for Tommy's dying sister. Launched as a comic book as well as a digital series featuring Davey Havok (singer AFI), Lance Henriksen (Aliens), Danielle Harris (Halloween movies), Justin Pierre (singer Motion City Soundtrack), Lydia Lunch (Richard Kern's Hardcore), and Bill Moseley (The Devil's Rejects), Godkiller's unique transmedia approach attracted over 500,000 readers and viewers and earned Pizzolo Wired Magazine's prestigious title of "World's Most Wired Comics Creator."

"Starts creepy and slowly ratchets up the dread until the last page." -Newsarama  In a future where our solar system has been colonized by wealthy elites, interstellar bounty hunters Dagmar, Rick, and Jules follow a missing girl's trail to a cult on Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon. When they arrive, the intrepid bounty hunters discover the cultists have provoked a terrifying force.  This ghost story in space reunites comics' king of macabre Steve Niles with his longtime collaborator Christopher Mitten, whose stylish mix of grit and flow matches Steve's sharp characterizations and taste for screams.  "Without a doubt the creepiest comic I've read this year. Everything comes together to make a truly haunting experience with an ever present feeling of crushing space dread." -AiPT!  "The true beauty of The Disciples rests in its haunting relatability. All humans in space are just a moment away from insignificance, and Niles and Company make sure you can feel it... we're forced to confront all of the terrifying truths we otherwise avoid in the safety of our terrestrial trappings." -Doom Rocket
