Chapterhouse Comics Has Two Releases for Free Comic Book Day 2018

Posted on by

Chapterhouse Publishing has two exciting titles available for Free Comic Book Day on Saturday May 5th 2018– Invasion and Die Kitty Die: “I Love You To Death”.

Invasion is Chapterhouse’s first major event, taking place in the pages of Captain Canuck Season Fourthroughout the summer of 2017 and bringing together heroes of the Chapterverse – Fantomah, Freelance, Pitiful Human-Lizard, Northguard, Agents Of P.A.C.T and Fallen Suns – against the threat of alien race, the Borealis.

Having observed Earth from afar, the Borealis arrive to pass judgement on humankind – a failure, too dangerous to be allowed to live. However, despite our flaws, Captain Canuck and the heroes of the Chapterverse still believe humans are worth saving. This action-packed Chapterverse crossover event will also look back at the story of the Chapterverse so far, so new readers are not left out of the action.

Chapterhouse’s Free Comic Book Invasion prologue features the debut of the Captain Canuck Season Four writing team – Jay Baruchel and Van Jensen. Leonard Kirk provides the artwork plus a cover by John Gallagher.

The second title available to fans on FCBD will be Die Kitty Die: “I Love You To Death.“ The critically acclaimed Die Kitty Die series is headed by Harvey and Archie Comics veterans Dan Parent and Fernando Ruiz.

“I Love You To Death” follows the shocking conclusion to Die Kitty Die: Hollywood Or Bust, after news of Kitty Ravencraft’s demise sent shockwaves throughout the entire Kittyverse.

Over at Kitty Comix, sneaky, opportunistic publisher Skip Stone is delighted to finally have the death of his main character that he always wanted to exploit, but Kitty’s real friends at the Comix Corner comic shop aren’t sharing in his delight. Just when they thought their Free Comic Book Day couldn’t get any worse, Kitty’s ex-husband Derek the Warlock arrives in search of answers and decides to go directly to the source – to Kitty’s disembodied spirit!

When she rejects his unholy help, Derek decides to show Kitty what life WITHOUT him would be like by zapping her into one Free Comic Book Day comic book after another!

In 1984 the Central Intelligence Agency produced a comic book for the people of Grenada denouncing Communism.  The comic book was air dropped over the country as part of an invasion by the United States and a few allies.  President Reagan worried about a Communist friendly government and used the safety of 800 medical students as a reason to invade the tiny country.

This was an interesting moment in history as it shows off American military action that many people don’t remember and is a physical item produced by and American agency that’s rather secretive in their endeavors.

You can learn more about the Grenada invasion here.

The cover says “Number 1 of a series.”  Our question is what’s in the rest of the series?  Did the CIA produce one for each of our invasions?
