 DEATHBLOW #1
Written by Brian Azzarello
Art and cover by Carlos D’Anda
Variant covers by Stephen Platt
From critically acclaimed writer Brian Azzarello (100 Bullets, Superman) and red-hot artist Carlos D'Anda (Outsiders) comes the story of one man's journey of self-discovery — and all the people he must kill along the way!
In a world marred by brutal warfare, unjustified nation-building and corporate greed, soldiers like Michael Cray — code name: Deathblow — run the risk of becoming lethal puppets. The real question is, who's pulling the strings?
Following a deadly mission, Cray is assumed dead by his superiors — until it's discovered he's being held in a Middle Eastern prison. A daring commando raid rescues Cray, and the government will use any means to determine where his loyalties lie. This puts Deathblow on a dangerous road, unsure of who his real enemies are and of who he can trust — including himself! Retailers: This issue will feature 3 covers that may be ordered separately. The Standard Edition cover is by Carlos D’Anda; one copy of Variant Edition A, with a cover by Stephen Platt, may be ordered for every 10 copies of the Standard Edition ordered; one copy of Variant Edition B, with a pencil version of the cover by Stephen Platt, may be ordered for every 50 copies of the Standard Edition ordered.

 CROSSING MIDNIGHT #1
Written by Mike Carey
Art by Jim Fern & Rob Hunter
Cover by J.H. Williams III
Mike Carey — writer of the Eisner-nominated Lucifer and Ultimate Fantastic Four — returns to the magical world of twisted horror in a new Vertigo monthly series drawn by the breakout art team of Jim Fern (Fables) & Rob Hunter (The First). In modern-day Japan, Kai and his twin sister Toshi are born on opposite sides of midnight. But that casual line in time will have disastrous effects on their lives: Their friends will go missing; commonplace knives will hide deadly secrets; and Kai and Toshi will have to save themselves and their entire family from their own horrible destinies.
Set in contemporary Nagasaki, Crossing Midnight taps into Japanese and Korean horror to mix the mythology of The Sandman with the fantasy of films like Hayao’s Miyazaki’s Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. Together, Mike Carey and Jim Fern come up with flights of fantasy tethered to a reality where children are stolen, innocence corrupted, and where two teenagers will have to stare down bizarre beings capable of very visceral terrors.
