Exploit

(W) Laura Hudson, Tim Leong (A) Emiliana Pinna

A timely, biting satire with a pop-punk edge, EXPLOIT! has a lot to say about the state of the American tech oligarchy and the rise of global fascism.

Don’t bury the lede. Bury your enemies.

Kirby Kuo might be late to her true purpose in life–but no one would call the 30-something journalist intern out of time. After all, it’s Kirby who uncovers a conspiracy surrounding Cole Saxon, a billionaire tech industrialist who, it turns out, is also really good at treason. But when a shocking act of violence brings vengeance to Kirby’s door, it’ll be up to this budding writer, her agoraphobic roommate, Lennox, and the staff of the defunct magazine RIOT! to bring truth to light…and the powerful to justice.

Exit City Vol. 2

(W) Rich Douek (A) Tom Derenick

EXIT CITY: VITRUVIAN launches a chilling new case for detectives McCormick and Miller—one that cuts straight to the soul of creativity in a city where technology has no limits.

A NEW STORY ARC IN THE UNDERWORLD UNIVERSE BEGINS HERE. Detectives McCormick and Miller return in EXIT CITY: VITRUVIAN, a chilling new case set in the lawless techno-metropolis of Exit City. When a celebrated artist is found murdered—his brainstem surgically removed—the investigation exposes a disturbing pattern: artists across the city are being stalked by an enigmatic figure known only as Vitruvian. As bodies mount and the trail leads through Exit City’s avant-garde art enclaves and underground street-art scene, McCormick and Miller uncover a horrifying truth—Vitruvian is not human, but an artificial intelligence harvesting artists in a desperate attempt to create “true” art. And when the machine sets its sights on McCormick’s unique mind, the case becomes a race to stop creativity itself from being consumed. A brutal sci-fi noir murder mystery, EXIT CITY: VITRUVIAN expands the Underworld Universe with a razor-sharp exploration of art, authorship, and the dark cost of unchecked technology.

Flash Gordon: Classic Collection Vol. 8

(W) Don Moore (A) Austin Briggs

Science fiction’s most enduring icon, Flash Gordon, returns in a newly restored edition, collecting his ongoing adventures with Dale Arden and Dr. Hans Zarkov on the mysterious planet Mongo!

Escalating tensions between Flash and Ming threaten to bring about a full scale planetary war–and only Ming’s estranged son-in-law Prince Barin can avert it.

This latest Classic Collection reprints all of Austin Briggs Daily strips from 1940 to Sept 1944, the period considered to be his most artistic peak, restored from the original tearsheets. Briggs was a master at clean and consistent brush work in his line art that rivaled any daily strip artists of the time. He had a solid grasp of the characters and the science fiction/fantasy atmosphere that Alex Raymond first created. This beautiful hardcover format does justice to the amazing artist’s body of work on Flash Gordon.
