Narco gets collected and comes to shelves this Fall

Posted on by Leave a comment

From the creative duo behind bestselling Plastic-Verse titles—Plastic, Plush, Vinyl, and I Was A Fashion School Serial Killer—comes the absurdist thriller, Narco. Issues #1-5, of this recent standalone story in the interconnected-universe of horror titles by Doug Wagner and Daniel Hillyard will be collected and available in its entirety in trade paperback this Fall from Image Comics.

The Plastic-Verse series have collectively sold over 400K copies worldwide to date and have quickly become fan-favorites among readers drawn to Wagner and Hillyard’s unique blend of dark humor, horror, crime, and surprising emotional depth. This latest entry into their oeuvre, Narco, shares similar DNA and has instantly resonated with the growing fandom.

In Narco, readers meet Marcus Wesphal, a man with a rare form of narcolepsy: when he gets excited, he blacks out. He’s adapted: homebound life and a harmless infatuation with the girl next door. But when he witnesses her murder (and then immediately, annoyingly, passes out) he becomes suspect number one. Now, he must leave his apartment to pursue her killer and clear his name.

The Narco trade paperback (ISBN: 9781534334991) will be available at local comic book shops, on Wednesday, October 7 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, November 3.

Randy Taylor and Dustin Weaver’s Assassins’ Guild gets collected in 2027

Posted on by Leave a comment

The cyberpunk hidden gem Assassins’ Guild—the debut series from fan-favorite artist Dustin Weaver, and written by Randy Taylor—will finally be collected and available in stunning hardcover format in 2027 from Image Comics. This long-anticipated collected edition of the cult favorite will include issues #0-4 of the rarely seen, but much beloved, action-packed series.

Assassins’ Guild first introduced the industry to Weaver’s unique style and was followed by his eye-catching run on S.H.I.E.L.D. with Jonathan Hickman at Marvel. Weaver’s subsequent variant covers for Hickman and Nick Pitarra’s popular sci-fi miniseries, The Red Wing at Image cemented him as a frequent collaborator with Hickman and fans saw the duo reunite again at Marvel for their buzzy Avengers run. Weaver quickly skyrocketed to fame with further work on high profile series such as Edge of the Spider-Verse and Infinity Gauntlet (2015) as well as his popular run on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

America is run by corporations and, in Assassins’ Guild’s future-set story, violence and corruption are business as usual… with the exception of one highly trained rogue operative who could bring it all down! When tactical officer Alex Dayne suddenly grows a conscience, the Valentine Corporation sets out to destroy him. Bent on revenge and with nothing left to lose, Alex goes back into the underworld of New Washington and gathers a team of outcasts to wage war on the corporate machine and assassinate its CEO.

The Assassins’ Guild hardcover (ISBN: 9781534351738) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, January 20, 2027 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, February 16, 2027.

Batman and Son gets a DC Compact Comics Edition and its a nice way to read Damian Wayne’s intro

Posted on by Leave a comment

The mysterious Talia, daughter of the archvillain Ra’s al Ghul and Batman’s onetime love, returns with a boy named Damian and claims the child is Batman’s son.

Stunned, the Dark Knight takes the child in, but the boy, raised among the brutal dictates of the League of Assassins, has his own agenda. Soon both Tim Drake, Bruce Wayne’s newly adopted heir, and Alfred, Wayne’s faithful butler, find themselves targets of this genetically perfect and very angry child.

Is Damian really just a young, misguided boy trying to prove himself to his father—or have long years of Talia’s indoctrination left him an operative solely designed to destroy the Batman?

Under the masterly skills of Morrison and Kubert, Batman & Son is one of the most intriguing Batman tales ever told. It also features the artwork of John VanFleet (Batman: The Chalice) in a unique story highlighting the Joker.

Collects Batman #655–658 and #663–666.

Story: Grant Morrison
