New Releases by J.H. Williams III

A sci-fi noir thriller set in a far future world where beliefs can unbalance the scales of justice. A novel featuring the multi-award–winning team J. H. Williams III (Echolands, Batwoman, Promethea), S. David Johnson (Where We Live), Langdon Foss (Get Jiro), Dave Stewart (Echolands, Hellboy), and Bernardo Brice (Where We Live, Shazam). The cracking: the world shook. Seas rose. Shapes of lands changed. Heat brought boiling. Lakes dried. Harvests withered. Death rode on radiation. Mountains moved through time, shifting sands to new vistas. When grasses grew tall again, forests rerooted. Life went on. And people flourished once more. New societies and technologies prospered. New Silica is born, a brilliant city of shining colorful glass, now on the cusp of a new dawn. A city that Inspector Duel Rahmone loves, living between a past of archaic beliefs and a more fair future, desperately trying to navigate a world standing on a black-and-white morality but all too often is only grey. Obsessed with nearly forgotten history, Duel dreams of pulp adventure, hard-nosed detectives, and smoky mysteries. But those dreams spiral him down a path of danger, deception, and murder. Hired by the enigmatic Aurora to discover the truth about her sister’s grace killing — a legal act at the hands of her sister’s husband — the inspector enters a dangerous cat-and-mouse game with one of the city’s most respected businessmen, putting all Duel holds dear in peril and risking corruption of his own philosophical ideals to shed light in dark, locked high-rise backrooms of the rich and powerful.

Early praise for ECHOLANDS: “It's every fictional world, each with its own artistic style, intersecting and exploding with JHW3 magic and crackle. I can't wait to see where he and Haden Blackman are taking us—into a world in which anything can happen, and undoubtedly will.” —Neil Gaiman "So complex and unique and expertly executed it pushes the medium forward in new directions and leads to invigorated interest in the medium of comics itself." —Robert Kirkman "A dazzling, kinetic ride through an exquisitely realized fantasy world, bursting with graphic energy and excitement." —Dave Gibbons “Echolands’ fallen fantasy San Francisco is painted as a monstrous blend of magic and technology, and reads like a blockbuster car chase.” —Kyle Shutt (The Sword) “Getting an eyeful is a massive understatement. I love looking at the drawings as they expand with more details emerging every time I look.” —Debbie Harry (Blondie, Face It: A Memoir)
