Writer: James Tynion IV · Michael Avon Oeming
Artist: Michael Avon Oeming
Letterer: Tom Napolitano
Cover artist: Michael Avon Oeming

China, 2010. Flights are immediately diverted into and out of Xiaoshan Airport as staff and passengers aboard multiple planes report seeing flashes and beams of otherworldly light. Four unidentified objects are captured in various photos and videos. How does it all fit within the history of cover-ups by the Chinese government over UFO sightings?

The final issue of the all-new volume of “true” tales capturing the strange world of alien encounters by the New York Times bestselling and Eisner Award-winning co-creators of Something is Killing the Children, The Nice House on the Lake, The Department of Truth, and Powers in the continuation of their acclaimed work on the Blue Book series.

Each issue will feature “True Weird” backup stories by guest creators.

Red Book I #4

It’s Ancient Norse Beings vs. Neo Nazi Punks in Odin by James Tynion IV, Marguerite Bennett, and Letizia Cadonici

Writer James Tynion IV is teaming up with co-writer Marguerite Bennett, rising star artist Letizia Cadonici, colorist Jordie Bellaire, high-flying letterer Tom Napolitano, designer Dylan Todd, and editor Steve Foxe for an all-new horror tale in the upcoming Odin. This nine-issue miniseries promises to go light on the honeyed mead, but will tip a heavy pour of Nordic nightmare fuel when it hits shelves in May from Image Comics and Tiny Onion.

Odin will be stunningly presented with covers by celebrated comic and album artist Alex Eckman-Lawn, who is illustrating the main Cover A for the full series. For the debut issue, Cadonici illustrated Cover B with additional variants by lauded artists Christian Ward, Martin Simmonds, and Jae Lee.

Odin follows Adela, a thrill-seeking journalist who goes undercover to report on a band of Neo Nazis. She will do anything for the perfect story, including heading into the frozen forests of Norway with Neo Nazi punks who seek Odin to achieve their promised white supremacist destiny. But what awaits them in the woods is far older and stranger than any of them can comprehend, and no gods are coming to answer their prayers. Green Room meets Midsommar with a touch of The Ritual in this relentless hallucinogenic thriller that leaves absolutely no taboo unbroken.

Odin #1 will be available at comic book stores on Wednesday, May 6:

  • Cover A by Alex Eckman-Lawn
  • Cover B by Letizia Cadonici 1:10
  • Cover C by Christian Ward 1:25
  • Cover D by Martin Simmonds 1:50
  • Cover E by Jae Lee 1:100
  • Cover F by Blank Sketch $5.99
  • Cover G “Stealth Variant”

Exquisite Corpses #10 really shakes things up and adds a bit of depth to some of the characters

A desperate mother is caught in the middle of a rivalry between two of the greatest assassins in the world. A paramedic will stop at nothing to try to save the people of her small town. And a burnout puts his life on the line against one of the most terrifying killers in the game to protect two innocent kids.

The Nice House by the Sea #7

(W) James Tynion IV (A) Álvaro Martínez Bueno

The residents of the House on the Lake and the House by the Sea were both told the same thing: that they were the only humans who survived a global apocalypse. But while Walter, the mysterious and seemingly all-powerful alien master of the Lake House, chose to save the people he’d grown fond of, the Sea House was assembled by another of his species, Max — and she chose the most brilliant and competitive humans. They’ve just learned their only path to survival is to kill every one of the loveable losers in the Lake House…and they know exactly how do it. And what’s worse? Someone in the Lake House has agreed to help them…

The Nice House saga has collected multiple Eisner Awards and the prestigious Best New Series prize at the Angoulême International Comics Festival, and now is the time to get on board as the action kicks into high gear and the horrors in its pages grow even more grotesque!
