New Releases by Fabrice Sapolsky

In Chinese Cosmology, the universe is ruled by five elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Wood and Metal. At the dawn of Time, when our planet was created, the Elements chose themselves champions: the Spirits of WuXing. For centuries and generations, the Spirits of WuXing have protected the planet and the elements. Until 1972, in New York, when a Spirit murdered one of his peers. This triggered a series of events leaving the universe unbalanced. New reluctant heroes were born. Innocents died. Others embraced their destinies. From Kaifeng China to Hong Kong to Haiti or Jamaica, they all came to New York where their fate became INTERTWINED! This new edition of the fan-favorite series includes the original series, the recent Last Jewish Daughter of Kaifeng special and a new, never published before story all collected in a premium unmissable OMNIBUS edition.

MINISERIES CONCLUSION! The end of the mob as we know it. So bloody that we invented a word for it: ''binge killing.'' You thought you saw everything in the Games of Thrones-style penultimate issue? Think again! Richie Reese''s final fate is revealed here. Which side is hexon? Who''ll go with a smile? Also: the Hollywood Killer''s next adventure is teased here.

The shocking events of last issue have left Richie angrier than ever. He''s determined to find who has targeted someone very close to him. His journey only begins and on the way, he''ll cross paths with an old friend, a pretender, a dead guy with weird tattoos, and a human bomb!

"I kill therefore, I am." After the explosive debut of actor-turned-hitman Richie Reese, it''s time for the prequel: "Episode One: The Childhood Menace." It''s the birth of a killer on an epic scale!

If there was a thin line between reality and fiction, Richie Reese tore it down. Better, he crushed it. Smashed it. Destroyed it. From child star to hitman in Hollywood, this is the story of a glorious bastard. Written by FABRICE SAPOLSKY (Spider-Man Noir) and drawn by superstar artist ARIEL OLIVETTI (Cable, Punisher War Journal, Conan), this is the crime comedy series you don''t want to miss this year.

Collects Spider-Man Noir #1-4. It was 1933 and the Great Depression was just getting started. And so was the corrupt mob boss the Goblin. When embittered, angry Peter Parker meets a spider and its life-changing bite, he may have just inherited the force to honor the phrase, "If those in power can''t be trusted, it''s the responsibility of the people to remove them."

Peter Parker has a lot to be hopeful about. The Spider-Man is the beloved town hero; President Franklin D. Roosevelt is in the White House; the spiraling economy is on its first steps toward recovery; and with Norman Osborn out of the picture, organized crime in New York has lost its major player. But all is not well in 1934 America ... dark forces are at play in the world, and a power vacuum in New York crime is quickly - and violently - being filled! Now Spider-Man must contend with a vicious new breed of killers, criminals, and maniacal death-dealers, reimagined from some of the greatest and deadliest foes of the Spider-Man.
