Chainkata #1 gets a Rob Liefeld Variant Cover

Posted on by Leave a comment

Image Comics has revealed a special, highly collectible variant cover by comics icon and Image Comics founder Rob Liefeld for the most anticipated premiere of the year—Chainkata #1—by multiple Eisner Award winning super-star Daniel Warren Johnson which launches this November from Image Comics.

Liefeld’s striking take on the series’ main character is sure to snag the attention of comics fans everywhere and will be fully orderable to comic shop retailers.

In Chainkata, Luma is a chainsaw-wielding warrior queen, seeking out an unknown power in the vastness of space. All she wants is to find peace, but violence and terror follow her through every black hole. The story will blend the epic, high-stakes sci-fi of Beta Ray Bill and Space-Mullet and with the character-building depth of Extremity and Do A Powerbomb. It is the culmination, and maximization, of Johnson’s craft and the perfect read for fans of action-packed comics with art that leaps from the page.

Chainkata #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, November 18.

Black Tower: The Raven Conspiracy #1 is an interesting, but slow, start

Posted on by

Twenty-three-year-old Darren Burroughs out of Audubon, PA, is a “gifted” rookie sent under the guise of a diplomatic aide to train with Division Nine—an obscure, outdated, and easily dismissed arm of British intelligence that specializes in dealing with paranormal incidents. In the right sort of spy circles, they’re known by a different, more feared name…“Black Tower.” It’s 2026, and in the age of cyber warfare and drone strikes, someone is plotting to steal the head of a giant-king to break a centuries-old ward that has kept invading forces out of Britain. Magic and espionage collide as the Black Tower’s band of misfits, led by the enigmatic Alistair Romeo, delves into a maelstrom of spells and silencers, working against time and in the shadows to fight the esoteric battles bubbling under the surface of our visible wars.
