Is genetically modified food an end to world hunger or a first class ticket to the apocalypse? Dan Miller is a plant biologist working with a small team perfecting an accelerated plant growth process. When things go wrong, Los Angeles pays the price in a disaster story unlike any before.
From writers Marc Bernardin and Adam Freeman, artist Afua Richardson, and Top Cow’s Minotaur Press comes Genius. A harrowing, action-packed tale of a city that declares war on a brilliant young woman pushed to the edge. Complete in five parts, every issue of Genius will ship weekly in August.
What if the greatest military mind of our generation was born to a people who are already supremely conditioned to wage war, who know nothing but violence since birth, and must continually adapt to new predators in order to survive? What if the second coming of Alexander the Great, of Genghis Khan, of Napoleon, of Patton…what if it was a teenaged girl from South Central, L.A. named Destiny? And what if she decides to secede three blocks of the ‘hood from the Union? Who is going to take it back from her and her army of gangbangers? Who CAN?
All five issues of Genius will be available weekly, throughout August.Genius #1 arrives in stores on 8/6 for $3.99. It is available to pre-order with Diamond Code JUN140478.

All FOUR issues of Minotaur Press’s latest miniseries will be released in April, and the covers for all four issues connect to form one larger image.
Coming this June from Minotaur Press, Top Cow publisher Matt Hawkins teams up with artist Linda Sejic in a haunting story that gives a Sinclair-eque speculation of the future spoils of genetically modified food consumption.
Dan Miller is a plant biologist working with a small team perfecting an accelerated plant growth process. When things start to go wrong, Los Angeles finds itself careening toward unforeseen disaster.
In a release Hawkins said:
Wildfire came out of an obsession I had researching genetically modified food. When I discovered that both pro and con are shamelessly lying and covering up facts I wanted to do something fun, but rooted in the core science of what they’re doing and the debate. This is basically a disaster story unlike any before!
Wildfire #1 arrives in stores on 6/11, and will be available for $3.99. It can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code APR140497. Cover B, featuring art by Stjepan Sejic, can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code APR140498.
Mike Stone wants nothing more than to marry the woman of his dreams… but the last woman of his dreams wants nothing more than to stop him. This April, the new Shotgun Wedding miniseries from Top Cow‘s Minotaur Press imprint will give you a slice of vengeful wedding drama to look forward to each week, all month long.
William Harms and Edward Pun introduce an assassin named Mike and his smart, sexy, 2nd-grade-teacher fiancée, Denise. Mike loves Denise more than anything in the world, but Chloe—his first fiance who got left in the lurch—has been plotting her revenge.
In a release Harms said:
Grosse Pointe Blank is one of my favorite movies. I absolutely love the balance it strikes in tone between Martin’s job—killing people—and how he struggles to reconcile that with the rest of his life. Ever since that movie came out, I’ve been wanting to write a story about an assassin and then one day a little lightbulb went off in my head and I thought, Imagine if an assassin was going to get married, and on that very special day, all of his enemies showed up… and one them was his ex-fiancée.
All four issues will come out in April, one a week and will each be available for $3.99. The first issue in the four-issue miniseries Shotgun Wedding arrives in stores on 4/2 and can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code FEB140515.
Shotgun Wedding #2 can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code: FEB140516 and will be available on 4/9. Shotgun Wedding #3 can be pre-orded using Diamond Code: FEB140517 and will be available on 4/16, and Shotgun Wedding #4 can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code: FEB140518 and will be available on 4/23.
Think Tank #1, the debut of the new Image Comics/Minotaur Press mini-series written by Matt Hawkins with art by Rahsan Ekedal, has sold out and will receive a second printing.
The science-infused series is about the journey of Dr. David Loren, genius and former child prodigy, whose change of conscience about developing weapons has explosive consequences — and not the kind his military bosses expect from him. Originally solicited as a four-issue miniseries, Think Tank has now been expanded to a be a longer series, with Hawkins and Rahsan signing on to continue the series for as long as they have a story to tell.
The second printing of Think Tank #1 is due in stores on August 29 and can be ordered now with the Diamond code JUN128162.

In the noir tradition of Chandler and Spillane comes SUNSET, a two-fisted tale of revenge and redemption.

Now, in the twilight of his life, Nick will lose everything he cares about except two things: revenge… and the chance to die with his guns blazing.
Writer CHRISTOS GAGE (Avengers Academy, GI Joe: Cobra) and artist JORGE LUCAS (THE DARKNESS) promise to hit hard with Minotaur Press’s first original graphic novel that will make you forget all about your Prius and organic whole-grain trans-fat-free diet.
