Megalith: The Olympus Saga #2 lays its cards on the table revealing a disappointing hand

Posted on by Leave a comment

CODENAME OLYMPUS is on the move! The deep space mecha-robot that razed half of Baltimore marches towards Washington, DC leaving death and destruction in its wake. Nuclear-armed fighter jets stand by, awaiting instructions to take out Olympus…and what’s left of the city. Locked inside the towering megalith, Baltimore beat cop Jack Casey and the last survivors of an elite government breach team are all that stand between the city and nuclear annihilation. Facing down savage, otherworldly predators and a brutal barrage of deadly tests, the team must scale miles of harsh terrain in a hostile alien world to reach the head, and destroy Olympus from the inside. With minutes before launch and countless lives on the line, the clock is ticking. Because Olympus is only the beginning–and a second, far larger monolith is hurtling towards Earth.

Tankers vs. Ancient Aliens #1 is mindless fun with big guns and big dinosaurs

Posted on by Leave a comment

The Tankers were sent back 65 million years into the past with a simple mission. To use their weaponized mech-suits to divert the asteroid that annihilated the dinosaurs and buy a little more time before extinction – and a lot more future oil reserves. But deep in Earth’s prehistoric past, something far deadlier than dinosaurs lies in wait. A species of star-faring, super-advanced ancient aliens! Battle-hardened by millennia of galaxy-spanning civil war, the ancient aliens have come to Earth armed to the teeth and ready to unleash the most fearsome arsenal unknown to man. Now the Tankers must wage an all-out war against ancient aliens and monstrous super-dinosaurs alike if they hope to fight their way back to a future worth saving!

Hank Howard, Pizza Detective: A Slice of Life #2 delivers the reveal with all the toppings

Posted on by Leave a comment

While Detective Hank Howard was busy getting hot and heavy with an old flame, Big Caligula customer George Horvath’s body grew colder than day-old pizza. Now, South Florida’s favorite regional pizza chain is under fire, assailed by wrongful death accusations from the grieving widow he left behind. But something smells fishy, and it’s not the anchovies. Hank knows Horvath was murdered by someone looking to get their palm greased and he’s out to prove it. Locked in a deadly game of cat and mouse, Hank must brave a den of thieves – The Gasparilla Pirate Festival – to hunt down the killer and bring them to justice. But he better stay frosty because someone’s packing heat and this festival promised fireworks.

Bad Idea reveals Hank Howard, Pizza Detective Movie Moments Editions

Posted on by Leave a comment

On July 8th, Hank Howard, Pizza Detective, returns to stands with an all new one-shot special — The Inside Job #1! And it’s coming with a brand-new series of covers homaging the BIGGEST movies of the 80s! 

David Lapham, the Eisner Award-winning artist behind seminal crime classics Stray Bullets reimagines the end of this all-new Hank Howard whodunnit with the Hank Howard, Pizza Detective Movie Moments!

A collection of four must-have covers, each one paying tribute to the greatest genre filmmakers of the 1980’s: David Cronenberg, Paul Verhoeven, Steven Spielberg, and of course, John Carpenter.

Something’s rotten at Big Caligula’s Pizza, location #212 — and it’s not just last week’s mozzarella. Cash tips have fallen off a cliff, and the question on everyone’s lips is, why? Has service really gone downhill, or is there something, or someone, more sinister to blame? 

Corporate smells trouble, and they’ve called in their best man for the job. Enter, Hank Howard. Armed with a mind as sharp as a tack, nerves of steel, and an ironclad stomach, Hank’s about to dive into a mystery hotter than a fresh-baked pie and his only lead won’t talk. Literally. It’s the location’s mascot, Biggie. The employees who don the oversized Roman Emperor garb are forbidden from talking in front of customers. Ruins the illusion for the kids. 

Thankfully, Hank’s not flying solo. Location #212 just happens to be the stomping grounds of Hank’s old buddy, the pizza crust loving dog, Cali. Together, they’ll sniff out clues, chomp down leads, and uncover secrets that could rock the pizza world to its core.

Hank Howard, Pizza Detective: The Inside Job is written by Robert Venditti with art and covers by David Lapham. It arrives in stores on July 8.
