Double

Rub-a-dub-dub, three men in a DOUBLE BARREL! That's right, with this issue, Kevin & Zander are joined by another brave adventurer, terrific Tim Sievert (THAT SALTY AIR)! In HECK, our hero finally hits bottom… and you know who lives at the bottom of THAT place, don't you? This may not work out great for everyone. Meanwhile in CRATER XV, Army Shanks has been reunited with his love, but can't let himself relax… and bureaucrat Ken Arluk may finally get to live his dream of launching a Canadian trip to the moon! Then: a mind-melting epic of dungeon-crawling mayhem with Tim Sievert's CLANDESTINAUTS! All this and more (like "20 Things I've Learned in 20 Years in Comics") in the latest issue – download it already!!

The first collaboration between Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso–creators of the Eisner Award-winning series 100 BULLETS. Down on this luck, Jonny Double decides to play to his favor and accepts a job with a big payoff–helping some teens rob a bank!

was supposed to be a twelve issue, bi-monthly comic book limited series techno-thriller-sci-fi epic to be published by then Archaia Studios Press, written by Josh Finney with art by Josh Finney and Kat Rocha. Issue #1 was released last June 5, 2008 to raves from fans and critics alike. Unfortunately due to unforeseen restructuring by Archaia we have never seen issue 2 and beyond. Now, thanks to Archaia being back on track, we are finally getting Titanium Rain, though with some changes to the series: instead of being a 12 issue series it’s now going to start with 2 double issues so we’ll see issues 1-2 for this month and (hopefully) issues 3-4 in the next one. The heart of Titanium Rain is contrasts and dynamic opposites, deep philosophy and gripping action side by side. This thematic tension drives every page from a simple game of poker becoming a vehicle for exposition and a metaphor for global geopolitics circa 2031, to the harrowing dogfight at the end of the book. The Art itself is fantastic, pushing the envelope for comic books; it is ultra-realistic, nice and clean, the faces of the characters so well-defined and represented you'd almost think they are real people rendered into art by software. This helps set the book up so well it gives you the futuristic feel to go along with the setting. Well worth the download. This is one series I'd immediately buy.

Hack/Slash is an ongoing comic books series, launched from several one shots of the same name, published by Devil's Due Publishing that has also been adapted into a stage play and a feature film. The series, starting as a series of one-shots, was created by writer and sometime penciller Tim Seeley. The focus of the series is on Cassie, a victom of a slasher known as the "Lunch Lady," and who also happens to be her mother. Now Cassie travels the world together with her freakish and gas mask-wearing friend Vlad, hunting down and destroying slashers wherever they find them. Issue #23 (2 covers) is a double feature containing the stories "Mad, Mad, Milkman" and "Blood Blower."
