Survive #3 is full of tension as the two survivors must decide if they’ll work together

Posted on by

617 feet below sea level: captured and left for dead! American operative Trent is bound inside the foundering hulk of the Akula-class submarine turned ticking time bomb. With mere minutes before the hull implodes, Trent must convince Stepan, the vengeful Russian sailor who vowed to bury him, of a deadly truth: the Turgenev isn’t freighting oil, but a covert stockpile of nuclear weapons. Now, the two enemies must set aside their personal war and navigate a gauntlet of crushing depths and lethal predators in the world’s most hostile environment if they’re going to escape to the surface and put a stop to a plan that could trigger global armageddon.

Colin Farrell and The Russo Brothers team for the Ordained Film Adaptation

Posted on by

Bad Idea looks to have a hit in the making with Ordained by Robert Venditti, Trevor Hairsine, Dave Stewart, and DC Hopkins. The first issue debuts on December 10 and already the film has been snatched for a film adaptation.

Colin Farrell is taking the cloth in Ordained joined by the Russo Brothers from an adaptation by Derek Kolstad.

Father Royston Craig became a priest late in life but he’s determined to make up for lost time. Along with his regular duties at his St. Louis church, he also performs the prayers of the last rites to patients on their deathbeds at the nearby hospital.

One day, he’s called to give these sacraments to Cormac Byrne, who doctors say won’t last the night. Byrne, like many others, has turned to God only at the end; he hasn’t been to church in decades. Father Roy is eager to hear his confession, but what starts as petty crime from a lifetime ago quickly becomes a horrifying litany of gangland violence and killings. Cormac Byrne is no ordinary man. He is, in fact, the head of the Irish mafia. God offers forgiveness to all who truly repent, and Father Roy completes his task by absolving Byrne of his mortal sins, leaving the man to die at peace…

…until the next morning. When Byrne makes a miraculous medical recovery. No longer at death’s door, Byrne is quick to return to his old ways. It’s business as usual and he’s got loose ends to tie up. First things first: KILL THE PRIEST who now knows where all the bodies are buried.

But Father Roy’s collar wasn’t always white, and Byrne is going to learn the hard way that Father Royston Craig was once Chief Petty Officer Royston Craig, a former Navy SEAL who found his faith in the midst of battle. Now Father Roy must face vicious gangsters, corrupt cops, and his own inner demons if he is to survive. And while he will be forced to tap into a violent skill set he thought never to again entertain, the one thing Father Roy will not do… is kill.

Planet Death #2 adds a little depth to all of the action

Posted on by

Last man standing! After a brutal barrage of alien gunfire decimates the entire landing force, Corporal Scott stands alone, left to bear witness as the alien horde’s towering hover ships skewer any remaining survivors. The human beachhead completely shattered, Scott must use every weapon in his arsenal as he single-handedly battles his way towards the devastating alien weapon he’s been tasked to destroy. But the alien army isn’t the only threat lurking on Planet Death. Hunted by a savage apex predator, Scott is thrust into a brutal battle for survival. There’s no backup. No escape. Just one mission: destroy the weapon or die trying.
