Sex Vol 1: The Summer of Hard, the first trade paperback collection of the hot new Image Comics series, releases this November. The book will be priced at $9.99 and contains the first eight issues of the controversial and acclaimed series.

Man of Action Studios‘ Joe Casey and artist Piotr Kowalski are the creators of the best-selling monthly series, which features retired superhero Simon Cooke and his pained attempts to re-acclimate to a normal, civilian lifestyle that he was never that good at to begin with. Of course, in Saturn City, nothing is “normal” and each month Sex delves into its psycho-erotic, urban underbelly — chock-full of former enemies and former allies — with unflinching abandon.

Sex Vol 1: The Summer of Hard trade paperback is suggested for mature readers and will be in stores on November 27. It can be pre-ordered in the September issue of Previews (SEP130552).
