With a day left until Christmas, and time running out for Santa’s innocent victims, Happy the Horse learns what turned Nick Sax from golden cop to broken-down hitman. But can he convince Nick to do the right thing or is it Happy’s turn to face some uncomfortable home truths?

Image Comics continues it’s strings of hits and sell outs leading to new printings. Bedlam #1 which debuted this week to praise will receive a second printing that’ll hit stores on November 28, the same day as Bedlam #2. The comic is a new horror series by Nick Spencer and Riley Rossmo. Bedlam is a dark story about the “rehabilitated” mass murderer Madder Red — known a decade later as Fillmore Press. Recruited by the police to aid in capturing of other killers, Press finds himself fighting against his own nature — against Madder Red threatening to re-emerge.

MacGyver: Fugitive Gauntlet #1, co-written by the creator of the MacGyver television show, Lee David Zlotoff, will also receive a second printing. It will be in stores on November 28, along with MacGyver: Fugitive Gauntlet #2.

The comic re-introduces the world’s most resourceful hero, star of the television show MacGyver, which ran from 1985 until 1992.

Both the second issue and second printing of the first issue of Happy!, a four-issue miniseries by Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson, were released this Wednesday and quickly sold out at the distributor level. A third printing of Happy! #1 and a second printing of Happy! #2 will be in stores on December 5, the same day as  Happy! #3. Happy! tells the story of disgraced cop Nick Sax and his tiny blue companion, the winged horse Happy, who may or may not be a hallucination.

Revival #4 also sold out at the distributor level this past week Every issue of the ongoing series by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton about a small town where the dead came back to life for one fateful day has had multiple printings. The second printing of Revival #4 will be in stores on December 5.

Revival is one of the best new comics to hit stands this year mixing mystery, horror and an excellent focus on the individual, it should be in everyone’s pullbox each month.

Happy! #2

Story by: Grant Morrison Art By: Darick Robertson
Price: $2.99

Trapped in a mob hospital at the mercy of the cold-eyed torture expert Smoothie and his team of dedicated sadists, the only hope for Nick Sax is Happy the Horse! With three days to Black Christmas, can our unlikely duo stay together long enough to stop Pedo-Santa’s rampage?

Happy #1

Story by: Grant Morrison Art By: Darick Robertson
Price: $2.99

Meet NICK SAX – a corrupt, intoxicated ex-cop turned hit-man, adrift in a stinking twilight world of casual murder, soulless sex, eczema and betrayal.

With a hit gone wrong, a bullet in his side, the cops and the mob on his tail, and a monstrous child killer in a Santa suit on the loose, Nick and his world will be changed forever this Christmas.

By a tiny blue horse called Happy…

72 issues is a fantastic run and The Boys ends theirs this November when that issue is released. Writer Garth Ennis always intended for the series to be finite and issue #72 is his final statement. There’s been ninety issues in total with seventy-two for the main series and then three mini-series as well.

In The Boys #72, the long day closes on the Brooklyn Bridge, as our hero finally meets his destiny. There’s one last deal to be done, As Stillwell finds out the real cost of doing business, and one last surprise for Rayner too- as she begins her long-dreamed of political career. The Boys‘ story comes to an end in this final issue containing 24 pages of story, 5 pin-up pages of brand-new art as well as a complete cover gallery.

Of the many mysteries in Happy!, the new series by Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson being launched by Image Comics in September, the little blue horse for whom the comic is named is one of the most closely-guarded. The wait will be over on September 26, when Happy! lands in stores, and many readers will get their first glimpse of Happy courtesy of a special, secret variant cover by Madman creator Michael Allred, colored by Eisner Award winner Laura Allred.

But not before then.

A Christmas story featuring a fallen cop, soulless sex, casual murder, agonizing skin conditions… and a tiny feathered horse, Happy! is Morrison and Robertson’s first Image Comics series. The Allred variant cover of Happy! (JUL128081) is available for pre-order now.

Zenescope‘s Fly was a comic book series that flew under the radar and didn’t quite find the audience it deserved. The series was similar to The Cape in that both series explored the corruption of the individual by power, in this case the ability to fly and this series was a nice allegory about addiction. Well, now you’ve got a heads up warning that the series is back with a sequel, Fly: The Fall, set for an October release. Written by creator Raven Gregory, the series includes cover art for issue #1 by David Mack, Ale Garza and Darick Robertson.  Interior artwork will be handled by Robert Gill.

Fly: The Fall continues soon after the life-shattering events of the last volume.  Following the death if his ex-girlfriend, Eddie is now a broken man set on a path of self-destruction from which he may not return.  Meanwhile Francis sets his game-plan in motion to destroy the man who killed is father.  Set in a world where the super-heroes aren’t really heroes at all… How far would you go to Fly?

Fly: The Fall #1 hits shelves in October and is available for order in this month’s Diamond Previews.
