Get Lost in a Good Book and Never, Ever Return in The Fiction

BOOM! Studios has announces the June debut of The Fiction, a new limited series from Curt Pires and rising star artist David Rubín about a group of childhood friends who discover doorways to other worlds through a set of strange books, in the vein of The Unwritten and Jumanji.

Four childhood friends discover a box of strange books that, when read aloud, can transport them to the beautiful, imaginary worlds described within. But when one of them goes missing, the others vow never to reveal where they’ve been and what they’ve seen. Years later, when one of the remaining kids, now an adult, also mysteriously disappears, it’s up to the last two of the group to dig up their dusty books to find him and finally figure out what happened to their friend all those years ago.

The Fiction #1 arrives in comic shops on June 17th with a main cover by series artist David Rubín for the price of $3.99 under Diamond order code APR151177. Also available in a limited quantity are a 10 Years incentive cover by Frazer Irving and a retailer incentive cover by Tula Lotay.

Action Lab Unearths Gravedigger

Before Brubaker and Phillips did Criminal… Before Darwyn Cooke adapted Donald Westlake…there was “Digger.” Gravedigger by Christopher Mills and Rick Burchett has been hailed as a modern classic by critics and fans alike and now, the comic has found a new home with Action Lab‘s mature readers imprint, Danger Zone.

“The Predators” is a three-issue mini series that contains everything readers love in crime comics; hard-boiled action, gorgeous femme fatales, and a hero who’s a bit of a bastard. It’s not always easy being the bad guy, as career criminal “Gravedigger” McCrae knows all too well. Even with a .9mm automatic in his hand and a wealth of experience under his belt, the veteran thief still finds himself in deadly trouble when his well-laid plans go violently off the rails in a pair of violent, pulp fiction capers.

Gravedigger is a master class in hard-boiled comic action!

Issue One of Gravedigger is available for preorder now, and hits comic stands this July. Created and written by Chris Mills, the book is illustrated by multiple Eisner Award-winning artist Rick Burchett and comes with a limited edition variant cover by Dario Carrasco.
