New Releases by Kelly Sue Deconnick

From the Eisner award-winning comics creators who brought you Captain Marvel, Bitch Planet, and Wonder Woman: Historia comes this genre-busting, coming-of-age, apocalyptic odyssey about a group of metal kids who face a medley of bizarre foes and encounters in Portland, Oregon during a worldwide pandemic. Riley is a teen that sketches out his heavy metal future with a ballpoint pen between monster movies and band practice. But musical stardom needs to compete with high school, the temper of a former Riot Grrrl mother, the morbid obsessions of a goth sister, and the eccentricities of bandmates that threaten to drive him and everyone around him insane. The balance gets harder after a ritual during a party in Portland''s Forest Park causes him to wake up one day to discover that the creatures, witchcraft, and metal world he''s obsessed with may be a bit closer to home than he preferred. Collects FML #1–#8 and includes bonus concept material.

Before Wonder Woman, there were the Amazons. This is their legend. In Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons, Kelly Sue DeConnick and three master artists deliver a sweeping, visually stunning saga of rebellion, birth, and divine justice. As the Olympian goddesses rise against patriarchal tyranny, they create the Amazons--a society of women born to resist, to protect, and to change the world. Each chapter of this Absolute Edition is a gallery of visual splendor: Phil Jimenez''s ornate myth-weaving, Gene Ha''s lush allegory, and Nicola Scott''s grounded drama coalesce into a timeless origin for Themyscira. This is more than a Wonder Woman prelude--it''s a foundational myth rendered in gold. Collects Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons #1-3.

Welcome to near future Los Angeles—a neon-scorched city where skateboarding has been ruthlessly outlawed. But nothing stops Skate Ali. By day, she’s just another student dodging detention. By night—she’s a rebel on wheels, an enigmatic loner defying the law on the Los Angeles streets. But when Ali slams headfirst into the infamous world of underground skateboarding, she comes face to face with a crew of outcast skaters called the LA Skull Clan, and their masked leader, Skull Queen 9. Fueled by a magical force called the Rush, the clan pulls off explosive moves and defiant acts of resistance. Faced with the opportunity of leveling up her game, but afraid of actually being perceived by others, Ali must decide: will she play it safe, or kickflip straight into a revolution? Eisner-winning writer Kelly Sue DeConnick (Bitch Planet, FML) and hitmaker Sam Humphries (Harley Quinn, Guardians of the Galaxy) team up with artist Natacha Bustos (Moon Girl, Miles Morales) for a high-octane, genre-smashing sci-fi skatepunk saga about friendship, rebellion, and finding your line when the world wants to knock you down. • Five-issue series.

Revisit the vampire tale that kick-started a modern horror comics revival in this third collected deluxe edition. A town plunged into darkness, a group of vampires hungry for blood, and only a husband-and-wife sheriff''s team to stop them. This premise set the stage for an iconic horror franchise that went on to become a feature-length film from Sony Pictures in 2007. Book Three collects Eben and Stella, Red Snow, and Beyond Barrow. In the waning moments of 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, Stella managed to bring her vampire husband Eben back from beyond...only he came back hungry. Now, for the first time, see what happened next in Eben and Stella, which fills in the black gaps between that tale and Return to Barrow. Written by co-creator Steve Niles and Kelly Sue DeConnick with art by Justin Randall. Then, in Red Snow from co-creator Ben Templesmith, it''s 1941. Hitler''s Operation: Silver Fox has failed, but the war on the Eastern Front drags on as the Russian winter starts to bite. British military attaché Corporal Charlie Keating observes the war from the Soviet side, making sure crucial supplies get through to aid Stalin''s front in the battle against the Nazis. With luck, he too will survive to see the end of the war. But something else is out there, and it''s not the Nazis. In the third story, Beyond Barrow from Steve Niles and Bill Sienkiewicz, after years of attacks and several without, the citizens of Barrow have become united against random attacks on their city by the undead. Unfortunately, the same does not apply outside the town throughout the rest of the mysterious Arctic Circle. Forget everything you ever thought you knew about 30 Days of Night and return to Barrow.

The first compendium asked the question, what happened to Elisa Cameron? This oversized comics collection has the answers. Also, read the reimagined relaunch of Dark Horse’s spectral avenger, Ghost! Elisa Cameron is dead—or is she? Having spent an after-lifetime trying to reconstruct the events that lead to her death, Ghost finally has the answers that she fought so hard to uncover. But like a broken mirror, the shards of the past can be dangerous and razor sharp, and you may not like the face looking back at you once you piece them all together. The answers to all of our spectral avenger’s questions can be found here, but a past revealed may mean a future destroyed.

In the stunning silence that follows, the phone rings: Riley’s been arrested and charged with murder.

It’s the penultimate issue of our year-long celebration of Image’s 30th anniversary, and this time around we’ve got an all-new PRETTY DEADLY story by KELLY SUE DeCONNICK & EMMA RÍOS, the first NYC MECH tale in nearly 20 years by IVAN BRANDON & ANDY MacDONALD, the debut of GHOST MAKERS by EMI LENOX, “The Slacktacular Now” by JOHN ARCUDI & DOUG MAHNKE, and another look at IN HELL WE FIGHT! by JOHN LAYMAN & JOK.

SKOTTIE YOUNG’s “Stupid Fresh Mess” and DEAN HASPIEL’s “Billy Dogma!”

The third and final chapter of the critically lauded and Eisner-nominated secret history of the Amazons crescendos with the inevitable-an all-out war against the gods. When Zeus discovers the goddesses defied him by creating the Amazons, seemingly nothing can stop his fervor to eliminate their warriors…not even Hera herself. But the Amazons’ numbers have grown, and there is a distinctly and unpredictably human element among their ranks now in Hippolyta and the tribe she leads. Their very fight for existence will alter the course of history itself and bring about one of the greatest protectors the world has ever known!

The second installment of the jaw-droppingly ambitious history of the Amazons finds their future queen, Hippolyta, cutting a swath through the world of men, desperate to be reunited with the astonishing women who saved her life…but unfortunately for her, they’re hard folk to find. Perhaps it is the will of the Goddesses that they cross paths again…but before that moment, Hippolyta will gather to herself a tribe of her very own-and find that the hearts of all women do not necessarily burn with a flame as righteous as her own…

The wait is over, and the entire story of the Amazons can finally be told! Millennia ago, Queen Hera and the goddesses of the Olympian pantheon grew greatly dissatisfied with their male counterparts…and far from their sight, they put a plan into action.
