Image reveals the lineup of Variant Covers for If Destruction Be Our Lot

Posted on by Leave a comment

Writer Matthew Rosenberg and his brother Mark Elijah Rosenberg team up with artist Andy Macdonald colorist Francesco Segala, and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou for If Destruction Be Our Lot, a smart new speculative science fiction series painting an all too possible picture of humanity’s end.

Image Comics and the team behind this timely new ongoing announce the full lineup of covers for issues number 1 and 2 from series artist Andy MacDonald with Francesco Segala, Jerome Opeña and Neeraj Menon, James Harren, Tradd Moore, Tula Lotay, and Cliff Chiang.  Each issue will also feature a special ‘Where’s Abe?’ homage cover where the book’s protagonist wanders onto the cover of another beloved Image Comics title, as drawn by that book’s artist. Issue one’s Ice Cream Man homage is drawn by Martín Morazzo and issue two will have a Sex Criminals homage by Chip Zdarsky, with plenty more to come.

In If Destruction Be Our Lot, humanity is extinct and all that remains are the robots who once helped us. The robots are happier now, doing their work without human interference. But not Abe, a robotic replicant of Abraham Lincoln in search of meaning beyond the daily grind. Abe believes there must be something more out there beyond the edge of the city. After nearly getting killed, he’s determined to wander the Earth until he finds it… or gets recycled trying.

If Destruction Be Our Lot #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, May 6.

1/6 The Graphic Novel #4 lands with a thud with some interesting aspects overshadowed by the rest

Posted on by Leave a comment

In the final volume of this provocative series, our heroes lead a Democracy movement to resist the authoritarian Regime while debating the more perfect union that might replace it. Can they rise above their differences to prevail against violent repression, inner demons and, at times, each other? 1/6: The Graphic Novel asks and answers the question: what if the January 6, 2021 Insurrection had been successful? In an entertaining, chilling, and sometimes humorous form, 1/6 is a tale of authoritarian rule in the United States and a struggle for Democracy. Harvard Law School Professor Alan Jenkins and New York Times bestselling graphic novelist Gan Golan have teamed up with veteran comic book artists to depict in stunning detail what the Insurrectionists and their allies had planned on that day, the threats to our democracy that remain, and what can be done about it. Issue #2 through #4 include free access to both an Action Guide and a Curriculum Guide for Teachers and Community Leaders.

The End League gets a Complete Collection in March 2026

Posted on by

Writer Rick Remender merges the themes of The Road Warrior and Watchmen with stunning visuals by artists Eric Canete, Mat Broome, and Andy Macdonald in this desperate, pedal-to-the-metal fight for the future in The End League Complete Collection. Originally published in 2008, the entire series will be collected into one gorgeous trade paperback—featuring a new cover by Canete and series colorist Matt Wilson—and brought back to shelves in March 2026 from Image Comics.

In the New York Times bestselling hit series The End League, the world didn’t end with a bang, it ended with a takeover. Decades ago, the villains won. Civilization was reshaped into a brutal, broken landscape ruled by tyrants, cults, and monsters wearing familiar masks. Now the few remaining heroes—archetypes forged from the DNA of modern mythology—must attempt one final impossible mission: cross a villain dominated Earth to locate the last surviving artifact capable of turning the tide—the Hammer of Thor.

At its core, The End League is an examination of what super-humans would really mean for an ordinary planet: the catastrophic consequences of even the smallest mistake by an all-powerful being, and the ugly reality of what average people might do once handed impossible power. Essential reading for fans of Remender’s Uncanny X-Force.

The End League Complete Collection trade paperback (ISBN: 9781534334755) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, and at independent bookstores, Bookshop, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, April 7, 2026.

NYCC 2023: Z2 Rocks with Rock & Roll’s Heaviest Hitters

Posted on by
Z2 NYCC 2023

Z2 is set to raise their fist in celebration of their music creators this October at New York Comic Con with plans to host multiple signings at their booth, debut new titles, and participate in panels.

Z2 Comics will invade New York Comic Con in October with an array of talent appearing in support of current and upcoming graphic novels. While days and times are yet to be finalized, among those confirmed includes Halestorm, GWAR, Alan Robert of Life Of Agony, and Dee Snider of the legendary Twisted Sister.

The entire band of Halestorm, including Lzzy Hale, will appear at NYCC 2023 in support of their graphic novel entitled Hyde Manor released in late August 2023. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the 2012 EP Hello, It’s Mz Hyde and its ensuing LP, The Strange Case Of…, the Hyde Manor graphic novel depicts the members of Halestorm encountering sinister doppelgangers of themselves. Within the decrepit halls of Hyde Manor, mirror reflections independently talk back and photographs transform to reveal sordid prophecies, leading the band to slowly succumb to madness while recording a new album. The tale creaks and twists with doom-filled revelations, perfectly tied to Halestorm’s scorching discography. Twins Brittany and Brianna Winner (the Twin Soul series), artist Sara Scalia, cover artist Alison Sampson, and colorist DJ Alonso weave a tale of the celebrated group as they seek refuge in the titular Hyde Manor—a sprawling gothic estate perched on the remote end of the Oregon Coast. 

GWAR will also be attending NYCC to promote In the Duoverse Of Absurdity released earlier this year. The story follows the band into the multiverse where they encounter alternate versions of themselves from another dimension, forcing GWAR to defend their universe from the intruders. If unleashed upon the universe, these dark mirror incarnations would dominate and subjugate all of humanity to the will of The Master. In the Duoverse Of Absurdity is co-written by GWAR rhythm guitarist Michael Derks and singer Matt Maguire, with art by Andy MacDonald (2020 Machine Man) and Shane White (Negative Burn).

The legendary Twisted Sister frontman, Dee Snider will be on hand to support He’s Not Gonna Take It set to be released in late November. This new graphic novel will follow the impact of Dee’s battle for freedom of expression in the arts throughout his life. From a childhood where he was frequently silenced, through the early efforts to stifle his band’s music, to the open warfare of the PMRC hearings in Washington DC, and his current efforts on social media. He’s Not Gonna Take It tells the story of why free speech is so important to this man who has fought for it…even when it endangered everything that was important to him. 

Comic creator and bassist for the heavy metal band Life of Agony, Alan Robert will be signing copies of his just released Pantera: Vulgar Display of Power graphic novel exclusive cover at the Z2 booth. He’s created popular graphic novels such as Wire Hangers, Crawl to Me, and Killogy, as well as a horror-themed adult coloring book series called The Beauty of Horror. 

Finally, on Sunday, over a dozen contributors of the 2023 Eisner-winning and 2023 Ringo-winning The Illustrated Al, will be in attendance at the Z2 booth signing the “Weird Al” Yankovic art book for fans for the first time ever.
