Brian K. Vaughan, Marcos Martín, and Panel Syndicate’s Barrier is collected in print this May

From the Eisner Award winning team behind The Private EyeBrian K. Vaughan and Marcos Martín explore a shockingly prescient drama about violence, language, and illegal immigration in Barrier. This Harvey Award winning story presents readers with some of the most provocative, hard-hitting topics of our day through a spectacular sci-fi twist. It will be available in trade paperback from Image Comics this Spring.

When the lives of Texas rancher Liddy and Honduran immigrant Óscar collide at the U.S.-Mexico border, neither can understand the other’s words, but both are forced to rely on trust when they’re thrust into an unimaginable encounter.

Told in English and Spanish without translation, Barrier is a visually stunning, emotionally fraught tale that explores the walls we build between nations, cultures, and each other. Collected for the first time in its original “widescreen” format—and perfectly complementing Image’s new paperback edition of The Private Eye—this gorgeous new edition collects the complete miniseries originally published digitally on Panel Syndicate and then in single issues in 2018.

RJ, a conspiracy-obsessed teen, investigates a popular classmate’s disappearance as a new social media platform takes her small island town by storm… and horrifying monsters with too many eyes emerge from the shadows! With QR codes expanding the lore, this comic blends horror, social critique, and interactive storytelling.

Welcome to Cravenwood, a small island town sometimes called “Quiet Island” due to the massive radio telescope that interferes with cell signals. But never fear! Residents can still connect with their besties on CannonCorp’s brand new social app, Knock Knock, a high-tech and immersive platform that’s taken the town by storm.

The rest of Cravenwood may be under Knock Knock’s spell, but local conspiracy-obsessed teen RJ Nguyen isn’t buying it. She’s too busy investigating the disappearance of her popular high school classmate Suzy. But with the clues piling up and classmates becoming suspects, RJ finds herself uncovering a sinister corporate agenda at the heart of CannonCorp, as well as dark horrors at the heart of social heirarchy! Can RJ unearth the true evils of not only the corporation but the town she calls home? What happened to Suzy? What is going on with the multi-eyed monsters suddenly taking over the island?

Paying tribute to classics of horror ranging from Twin Peaks to Junji Ito, Rubine’s Look Into My Eyes is an eye-opening exploration of social media, societal control, and the horrors of being a teenager. This immersive horror story includes QR codes to help readers dive into the lore and landscape of Cravenwood!

Dust to Dust is Hauntingly Beautiful and Arrives this May

Co-writers JG Jones and Phil Bram team up—with Jones on art as well—to bring a unique, historical thriller to life in the forthcoming Dust to Dust. In this standalone graphic novel a serial killer stalks the dust-choked world of Oklahoma at the height of the Great Depression. It hits shelves this Spring from Image Comics.

As apocalyptic storms swallow the Oklahoma panhandle, the broken town of New Hope is gripped by a series of brutal murders. Sheriff Meadows, tormented by his past, joins forces with Sarah, a relentless photojournalist, to hunt a killer who moves like a ghost through the grime, leaving only bodies in his wake.

Dust to Dust trade paperback (ISBN: 9781534333062, Lunar Code 0326IM0427) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, May 27 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, June 23.

Escape, Vol. 1 arrives in May

Uncanny Avengers duo Rick Remender and Daniel Acuña introduce readers to a brutal, fully painted world of anthropomorphic animals in the upcoming graphic novel military thriller, Escape, Vol. 1 hitting shelves this Spring from Image Comics.

Escape follows Milton Shaw, a battle-hardened bomber pilot flying missions over a war-torn world ruled by a ruthless empire. But when his plane is shot out of the sky, Milton wakes up behind enemy lines—in the smoldering ruins of a city he helped burn. And in less than 24 hours, his own side is dropping the big one to finish the job.

Now injured, unarmed, and being hunted through enemy streets, Milton’s only shot at escape comes from the unlikeliest place: a grieving father and his son—civilians shattered by the same fascist regime that rules this land with an iron claw. Enemies by blood. Allies by circumstance. Together, they’ll have to fight their way out before the bomb drops and erases everything…and everyone.

Perhaps best described as Inglourious Basterds meets Blacksad or Maus, this gritty, bullet-riddled journey through war’s scorched aftermath is about the violence we inflict, the souls we try to save, and the courage it takes to crawl out of fire.

Escape, Vol. 1 trade paperback (ISBN: 9781534333147, Lunar Code 0126IM0467) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, May 27 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, June 23.
