Air returns in new editions

Posted on by Leave a comment

From Dark Horse and Berger Books, under the direction of legendary editor Karen Berger, the brilliant Vertigo series Air returns in new editions. Air is created by visionary G. Willow Wilson, acclaimed artist M.K. Perker, and letterer Jared K. Fletcher. Each new paperback volume in the series features brand new cover art by Perker. Air Volume 1, Volume 2 (February 2023) and Volume 3 (June 2023) continue Blythe’s epic journey through a reality unlike any she’s ever known while trying to master her mysterious new powers. In October 2023, Air Volume 4 will showcase the gripping conclusion to this breathtaking science-fiction fantasy series.

The adventure continues next in Air Volume 2, where acrophobic flight attendant Blythe has left her safe, sterile life for a world of strange danger. And she’s been taken under the wing of none other than Amelia Earhart herself–alive and soaring after all these years. How did Amelia survive her disappearance? What is the centuries-old secret that enables her to travel the known and unknown world, using nothing but dreams for fuel? And what is her real agenda?

Then, in Air Volume 3, with the help of Earhart, Blythe has begun to harness her perplexing power; one step closer to controlling time and space. But when the fragmented trail of her mysterious love leads her to dangerous territory of double agents, metalhead jihadists, and an alarming backstory, Blythe will need to control more than just reality: she’ll need to manage her own suspicions–and her addiction.

Concluding the series in Air Volume 4, Blythe’s metaphysical training is over, and one final test stands between her and her future as the greatest hyperprax pilot to ever live. Caught between opposing organizations–the dazzling explorers who support and need her, and the cutthroat conspiracists who have targeted her–Blythe must find her own path in her most perilous journey yet: to pass her test, find her future, and make sense of a senseless universe–for Good. This journey will take her deep into the past and far into a future she was never meant to see, but may be able to re-shape.

Posted on by

The Rez Detectives is a ground-breaking, middle-grade graphic novel from Steven Paul Judd, Tvli Jacob, and M.K. Perker, published by Literati Press Comics & Novels and available through Diamond Comic Distributors, GlobalComix, and Comixology on December 8, 2021. In the tradition of Harriet the Spy, Encyclopedia Brown, and yes, Scooby-Doo, comes the first case for the Rez Detectives: “Justice Served Cold.”

Judd and IllumiNative, a native-led nonprofit that works to increase the visibility of Native peoples in American society, will supply free copies of Rez Detectives to all public and reservation libraries in Alaska and North and South Dakota.

It’s a hot summer on the Reservation. When the Ice Cream Man is a no-show, Tasembo joins forces with his neighbor, Nuseka, and his dog, Billy Jack, to take on their first case. With twists around every corner, this case won’t crack itself, but when you combine Nuseka’s brains, Billy Jack’s loyalty, and Tasembo’s . . . persistence, justice will be served. Cold, that is.

Scout Comics Reveals Firewater from Ken Kristensen Lifting the Veil on a Dark Chapter in American History

Posted on by

Award-winning writer Ken Kristensen and Eisner-nominated artist M.K. Perker take inspiration from one the darkest chapters of American criminal history with Firewater, a gritty and disturbing crime series from Scout Comics.

In the release Kristensen said:

Terrorizing and murdering Indians – let’s face it – was a disgustingly profitable business for centuries. But never more disgusting or more profitable than during what was called the Osage Reign of Terror. This series is a dramatic interpretation of that long period of horror and the epic struggle to bring justice to one of the most corrupt places on earth. I have unique connection to this story because my wife and son are Osage.

We’re talking about killing on an immense scale – hundreds of murders, made even more egregious because so often it involved a white man marrying an Indian woman and then murdering her to inherit her oil rights.

This story is as relevant today as when it happened. This singular time and place was a heightened microcosm of America’s social schism — income inequality, ethnic persecution, racism, gender inequality, institutional corruption, and environmental issues. It was a reflection of the nation’s material success and spiritual failure.

Firewater is centered around the FBI’s first deep-cover investigation, an effort that attempted to unravel a genocidal conspiracy perpetrated by some of the most powerful people in the state and some of the most notorious outlaws of the day.

The story is set in Osage County, Oklahoma in the 1920s – a time when the Osage were the richest people on earth, thanks to the largest oil field in the world being discovered on their reservation. The reservation was a criminal playground because of its “sovereign nation” status – state cops had no jurisdiction. Kidnappers, drug dealers, bootleggers, con artists, pimps, bank robbers — every conceivable criminal flocked to this lawless reservation that was generating billions of dollars.

Firewater immerses the reader in a full ensemble of cops, criminals, activist citizens, and everyone caught in the crossfire.

Firewater #1 will feature this amazing variant cover by Taylan Kurtulus.
