Celebrated comic book writer Matthew Rosenberg and his brother Mark Elijah Rosenberg previously announced a team up with artist Andy Macdonald, colorist Francesco Segala, and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou for If Destruction Be Our Lot, the anticipated 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 premier a beautiful new cinematic trailer in time for orders to be placed with your local comic shop!
In If Destruction Be Our Lot, humanity is extinct and all that remains are the robots who once helped us. They 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.
The full lineup of covers for issues number 1 and 2 have been revealed, and include series artist Andy MacDonald, Jerome Opeña, 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!
If Destruction Be Our Lot #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, May 6:

Sarahti Gassmalla has about a decade of working in comics retail. Starting as an intern, she is now a part owner and co-manager at Fantom Comics. She is involved in inventory ordering, event coordination, and representing the store at events such as Baltimore Comic-Con, ComicsPro, New York Comic-Con, and Small Press Expo. She runs the Fantom Comics’ recurring Queer Book Club, occasionally interviews creators for author events, and manages the weekly Final Order Cutoff.
Her relationship with sequential art began at a young age as a regular reader of Pearls Before Swine, Mutts, and other Washington Post Sunday comic strips. These days, reading the “Sunday comics” means reading the newest chapter updates of her favorite Shonen Jump titles — Akane Banashi, Blue Box, Ichi The Witch, and One Piece to name just a few. Her western comics journey started with reading the original Runaways at the library and borrowing a friend’s copy of Young Avengers. Visiting Fantom Comics the first time before she worked there is what introduced her to single issue comics, collecting titles like 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank, Joyride, and Monstress. If she is not reading, she’s doodling, finding new ways to get at least ten friends in a room together, or binging crime thriller TV. Sarahti was born and raised in Washington, DC where she still resides.

Avoid waiting in additional lines — get your tickets online!
Cliff Chiang’s artwork has been hailed for its “fluid and confident storytelling” and “sweeping linework and nuanced style.” Graduating from Harvard University with a joint degree in English Literature and Visual Arts, he worked in editorial at Disney Adventures Magazine and Vertigo/DC Comics before making the leap into freelance illustration. Best known as the artist of the New York Times best-selling Wonder Woman (with writer Brian Azzarello) and Eisner Award-winning Paper Girls (with writer Brian K. Vaughan), his most recent work is the acclaimed Catwoman: Lonely City which he both wrote and drew.
Mark Chiarello is an American painter and illustrator based in Burbank, CA, known for his work with companies such as Lucasfilm, Disney, Mondo, Criterion, Carhartt, Topps, DC, and Marvel Comics. After attending the Pratt Institute in the 1980s, he began his career in the comic book industry. Chiarello painted the Batman/Houdini: The Devil’s Workshop graphic novel, winning the 1993 National Cartoonists Society Award for Best Comic Book, and was the first colorist on Mike Mignola’s Hellboy series.
He served as SVP, Art and Design Director at DC Comics for 27 years, overseeing projects like Batman: Black and White, Solo, and Wednesday Comics, and was the editor of New Frontier. Chiarello also played a key role in the Batman: Hush collaboration between Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb. He co-authored The DC Comics Guide to Coloring and Lettering Comics with Todd Klein.

In 2020, he self-published Baseball 100 with Nel Yomtov and illustrated his first children’s book, Alien to Zombie (2021).

He is also known for his work with Marvel on Deadpool. Dave is the principal founder of “Drink and Draw”, a get-together of professional artists that spawned an art book by the same name.
Mr. Johnson earned the 2002 Eisner Award for Best Cover Artist. He was also nominated for an Eisner in 2004 for his work on the critically-acclaimed DC Elseworlds miniseries Superman: Red Son, which is now a perennial bestseller in graphic novel form.

The superstar team of Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang redefined Wonder Woman during the New 52, and now their game-changing run makes its Compact Comics debut, with this epic story now presented in a portable, casual reader friendly 5.5″ x 8.5″ format!
The Gods walk among us and only one woman would dare try to protect humanity from the wrath of such strange and powerful forces. But is she one of us–or one of them?
When Wonder Woman is willing to take a stand against Hera, Queen of the Gods, she makes herself an enemy. But Hera isn’t the one Wonder Woman should be worried about…her daughter, Strife, is coming to Paradise Island…and she has a secret that will shatter Wonder Woman’s life. Will the Amazons’ most powerful daughter be there to shield them from the wrath of Hera when she arrives?
When Hades and Poseidon need to settle who will be King of the Gods–Wonder Woman can’t let their turf war decimate the realm of man!
And what true story of the Gods is complete without a little trip to hell?
