From the twisted minds of Eisner Award winning writer Garth Ennis and long-time artist collaborator Eisner Award winning John McCrea comes a disturbing, psychedelic tale in the upcoming, The Snail. This one-shot story full of lust, power, and possession will hit shelves this November from Image Comics.
When you are offered your heart’s desire, what (and who) are you willing to sacrifice to achieve it? And should you really be making that deal with a… talking snail? The Snail is an all-new, standalone horror tale from top talent out of the Ninth Circle line of comics.
The Snail (UPC: 70985304936400111) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, November 11.
Before 2000 AD there was Action! Action was always ahead of the curve… and sometimes pushed its luck just a bit too far. Celebrating 50 years since the first issue of the original series which inspired readers across the country, Rebellion has published an all-new oversized Special which brings back all the shock and awe of the original series! Featuring a powerhouse lineup of writers and artists including Garth Ennis, Rob Williams, John Higgins, Staz Johnson and more, Action presents a brutal lineup of its heaviest hitters. Hook Jaw the killer shark takes on a gang of international drug-dealers; no-nonsense cop Dredger seeks vengeance against the men who killed his partner; and footballer Kenny “Lefty” Lampton has a memorable meeting with the King of England. Action is back, and more controversial than ever!

After a successful four-year run, Ennis moved on to create Preacher, a 66-issue epic that ran from 1995 -2000.

He has created illustrations for Robert E. Howard’s Conan stories, scripted four years of Superman, composed a science guide to genetics and DNA, created the Stormforce 10 adventure SubHuman with paleontologist Michael J. Ryan, and written the novella Storms at Sea, which he also illustrated.

He has worked on such Marvel titles as Deadpool, X-Force, Spider-Man, What If? Civil War, What If? Back in Black, The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and more. For DC, he has worked on such titles as Green Lantern, JLA, Blue Beetle, and most recently on Flash, Suicide Squad, and Green Arrow. Gus was the artist on several issues of Claudio Sanchez’s (of rock music group Coheed and Cambria) The Amory Wars, and was instrumental in helping bring together the creative team of his friends, David Atchison (writer) and Tony Shasteen (illustrator), and his niece, film and TV actress Rosario Dawson on 12 Gauge’s The O.C.T.

Frank Castle is a one-man army locked, loaded and ready to take down anyone in his way.
The Punisher makes his return by eliminating the ruthless Ma Gnucci’s crime family — pursued by the NYPD’s two-detective Punisher Task Force, crazed contract killer the Russian and super hero Daredevil…and emulated by three copycat killers who want to join forces with him. The over-the-top action builds toward a showdown in the apartment building Frank shares with his colorful fellow residents. Castle must survive to finish his vendetta, making sure his neighbors aren’t caught in the crossfire while evil is punished. With this series, writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon — together with inker Jimmy Palmiotti and iconic cover artist Tim Bradstreet — gave the Punisher a redefining fresh start that once more made him a force to be reckoned with!
COLLECTING: Punisher (2000) #1-12.
