Dark Horse Comics has announced the latest original graphic novel from Mike Richardson and Gabriel Guzmán: Echoes.
Troubled pilot Fred Martin is caught in a bizarre storm and loses control of his aircraft. Martin awakens unharmed, only to discover that he is thirty years in the past with the impossible opportunity to right the wrong that ruined his future. But to prevent murder, will he commit murder?
Written by Richardson, creator of The Mask and Timecop, and illustrated by Guzmán, Echoes is fantasy drama on a human scale, a provocative journey into how the past is always present.
Echoes (978-1506701233 / $14.99) debuts on November 23, 2016.

About Top Cow Productions Inc.
Top Cow Productions, Inc. (www.topcow.com), a Los Angeles-based entertainment company, was founded in December of 1992 by artist Marc Silvestri, who also co-founded Image Comics earlier that same year. Top Cow currently publishes its line of comic books in 21 languages in over 55 different countries. The company has launched 20 franchises (18 original and two licensed) in the industry’s Top 10, seven at #1, a feat accomplished by no other publisher in the last two decades. Its flagship franchise, WITCHBLADE, was TNT’s #1 original film of 2000 and the subsequent TV series was released on DVD on July 29, 2008. WITCHBLADE is also the first American property to be fully adapted in Japan as an original anime and manga by Studio GONZO in 2006. Top Cow’s other flagship property, THE DARKNESS, was developed into a
The weekend is so near and that just means last minute planning for those of us heading to San Diego Comic-Con 2011. Have to say I’m very excited and hopefully we do you all proud as far as news. Well, while you contemplate what you hope to see and hear, here’s the news you might have missed.
The pick of this week is Echoes #5. It’s the final issue of this limited series and if you haven’t been reading this thriller you’ve been missing out. The five issue series is beyond fantastic and I can’t recommend it enough. It’s an early contender for limited series of the year and I really hope we see more comic like this.
Echoes #5 – See above.
Osborn #5 – This series is full of just some twisted stuff and great political intrigue. I have no idea how they’ll wrap up the plot points in this issue.
Velocity #4 – It seems like forever since the third issue which ended in a holy shit moment. I have no idea what to expect now.
“X” Books – Age of X is wrapping up and Schism is on the horizon. Now’s the time to start getting back into the “X” line of books.
Freakshow #2 – There’s a good chance you missed the first issue, but it was fantastic. We’ll soon have a review of this second issue which I’m sure is as solid as the first.
Hot on the heels of his blockbuster New Ultimates run, FRANK CHO teams with Co-writer DOUG MURRAY (The ‘Nam) and artist AXEL MEDELLIN (ELEPHANTMEN) to unleash a new universe-spanning sci-fi epic! Join in the fantastic voyage of the Space Vessel ESS Savannah and her beautiful crew as they fight their way from hostile aliens and exotic worlds, searching for the wormhole that will take them to their ultimate destination: Home.

LOS ANGELES, Calif., December 30, 2010 – Top Cow Productions, Inc. proudly announced that ECHOES #1 has completely sold out after only one day of sales. A second printing of ECHOES #1 is being sent to Diamond Comics Distributors to meet the demand for Minotaur Press’ first horror/suspense-thriller title, and will be available in stores the same day as ECHOES #2 for readers who couldn’t get their hands on the creepy series in time.
ECHOES, the first independent-styled series from the publisher comes from the creative minds of Joshua Hale Fialkov (TUMOR, PILOT SEASON: ALIBI) and Rahsan Ekedal (CREEPY). Brian Cohn was learning to deal with the Schizophrenia inherited from his father. Supportive wife, new baby on the way, drugs to control the voices. But when on his father’s deathbed, he learns that he also inherited the trophies of his father’s career as a serial killer. Will his madness send him further down into the crawlspace of his father’s mind?
“I’m so amazingly grateful to all of our readers and the kickass retailers who helped us reach them!” said Fialkov. “The support, loyalty, and clearly awesome taste really warms my heart.”
“It’s thrilling to hear the news that Echoes #1 has sold out so quickly,” added Ekedal. “After nearly a year of hard work and long, long hours bringing this book to life, it’s very gratifying to see the incredible response. I can’t wait for everyone to see the rest of the series!
“Echoes is one of the project’s I’m most proud of this year, so I can’t say I’m surprised the first printing sold out immediately,” said Top Cow Publisher Filip Sablik. “It’s exactly the type of high quality, sharply written, beautifully drawn, self-contained and easily accessible story-telling the industry says it wants but repeatedly fails to support up front. I couldn’t be prouder of the work that Josh, Rahsan, Troy, and the rest of the Top Cow team have done on this series and we’re thrilled to support the launch with an aggressive second printing. Mark my words; this series will be one that everyone will be talking about 2011.”
“…quiet when it needs to be and thunderously punctuated in the corresponding beats…” – Newsarama
“Echoes sets the standard for horror in comics – you’d be hard-pressed to find a more gripping and inventive psychological thriller in any medium.“ – Panels on Pages
