Grant McKay, former member of The Anarchistic Order of Scientists, has finally done the impossible: He has deciphered Black Science and punched through the barriers of reality.

The only question is how far are they willing to go, and how much can they endure, to get home again?

Protectors, Inc.: Heroes in a world without super-powered bad guys. Heroes with corporate sponsors and far too polite rivalries and sporting franchises. Heroes without anything or anyone to fight…until one of them is murdered in ways that could only have been accomplished by someone with equal powers.

Solving the mystery falls to Lieutenant Detective John Riley, an ordinary man whose investigation takes him into a strange and dangerous world light years beyond his abilities to understand and very likely far beyond his capacity to survive. The trail leads to a fifty-year-old secret that could threaten the very existence of Protectors, Inc., an impossible love affair, and a serial killer whose work is not yet finished.

Hundreds are killed and the few desperate survivors are forced to hole up within the confines of the small rural town. Trapped in a tiny church, two soldiers fresh from the killing fields of Vietnam must do their best to defend a handful of civilians from the oncoming horde of flesh-eating cadavers. While a man named for the devil holds the barricaded sanctuary, a sniper in the belfry above practices his deadly trade, slaying the “disciples” of hell from a hundred yards away. Together, they must brave the living nightmares of 1968 and fight to hold their tiny piece of HALLOWED GROUND.

Accountability isn’t something Dr. David Loren worried about before. Sheltered behind the manned concrete perimeter of CED, so long as he continued to fulfill his contractual obligation to create inventions of destruction, David never had to think twice about being an arrogant jerk. But right now, David is on the wrong side of the military’s good graces. And accountability is a bitch.

Dr. David Loren’s work on the 36 barrel/600 rounds per minute Metalstorm led to an epiphany that he no longer wanted to create inventions of destruction for the military. But David has lived a sheltered life behind the barricades of a government-contracted think tank and has never directly been forced to come face to face with the deadly consequences of his actions… until now.

As the world eagerly awaits the gifts of their newest savior, Jim Downing’s struggle for control over the darkness within him threatens to jeopardize everything he has worked to build. Violence erupts in the deserts of Mexico as the K7 goes on a feeding frenzy, and for the first time Jim awakens to the realities of the monster that lives within him. Can a man live with so much blood on his hands, or will the weight of the world’s sins crush any hope of salvation?  While Jim wrestles with his new reality, an old adversary explores the true power behind Jim’s”miracles,” as THE CURSE makes his deadly return!

Also Featured: The K7-Leetha is a weapon of mass destruction birthed in the pits of Hell, a living creation built for one purpose — death. But what happens when a tool of unending violence has its own ambitions? A dark future awaits and the path forward begins here.

Review – Son of Merlin #1 and Think Tank #5

Son of Merlin #1

sonofmerlin01_coveraSimon Ambrose is a brilliant young professor at MIT. Always somewhat out of sync with the rest of the world, Simon is a man of science and does not put much stock in faith. When he discovers that he is the bastard son of the world’s greatest wizard Merlin, he is forced to put his skepticism aside and embrace a world of magic and the mayhem it embodies. Science and magic collide in this introductory priced first issue!

I enjoyed the first issue of this series. There’s some cool action, some nice art, but can’t say it’s anything that feels really new or different. That doesn’t mean it’s bad. It’s entertaining and for $1 there’s no excuse to not pick up this first issue.

There’s some nice twists in the first issue, at least one thing I haven’t seen before. But, the idea of taking Merlin and placing him in modern days or having him have some descendent in modern times that has to learn magic seems like something I’ve seen before.

But this issue is all about the set up. And it does that well. It’s a fun read, again $1, there’s no excuse to not get it. I think the series will have to be judge as a whole and when that’s done, this first issue will rise up a bit in it’s standing.

Think Tank #5

thinktank05_coverGenius slacker Dr. David Loren outsmart the government, the military, and the all of the brightest minds in science to escape the think tank he used to call his home and his job. But his tropical retreat isn’t as secluded as he would hope!

I loved the first volume of this series and the fact it went from a mini-series to an ongoing makes me so happy. How much did I like it? I bought two pages of original art. So yeah, I’m coming to this from a fan perspective. This first issue of the second arc though blew me away. I thought the first four issues were good? Yeah, just wait until you read this one.

David is back working for “the man” and how he wound up doing that is teased in flashbacks, but even then we don’t get the full story. In the present though, he presents a new weapon idea that had me saying “holy shit.” It’s something I didn’t think of.

And that leads to the theme of this second story arc, race and genetics. It’s prevalent in this first issue with a lot of discussion as to what makes us, us. Some pretty heady stuff for a comic book. Plus a weapon, which is possible, is discussed that will make you cringe.

The first story arc really focused on David Loren the person and his being a slacker. It had some mentions about the ethics of what he was doing, but that wasn’t the focus. Here though, it’s thrust to us and a hell of a topic for a comic to take on.

Writer Matt Hawkins has a great chance to really put forth an excellent discussion about war, weapons, technology, invention, ethics and more. Here’s hoping he goes where I think he does and discusses it all, while still giving us an entertaining read, just like he has with this issue.

“A DANGEROUS FAITH”

Long ago, the valiant Templar destroyed themselves through a vicious civil war, allowing the bloodthirsty crusade of the tyrant king Icarus to destroy mouse culture. Yet the inspiring tale of the young mouse Karic promises to restore the fractured Templar and overthrow the mad king. But while some accept Karic as a prophecy for good, still others see his rising legend as an omen of evil.

Thus begins the climactic chapter in the epic saga of hope and despair, of tragedy and triumph, and where every secret will at last be revealed.
