BOOM
CLOCKWORK ANGELS #5
GEORGE PEREZ SIRENS #1
WHY WE LOVE IT: The name George Pérez should say it all, but we are beyond excited to
work with one of comics' living masters on his own original title. He's worked on great
female characters like Wonder Woman and Scarlet Witch, but this, a team of female heroes
of his own creation, had us swooning.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: It's a scifi adventure story that spans time and space, featuring a
team of female heroes that kick butt across the universe. If you like strong female scifi
characters like Battlestar Galactica's Starbuck, Star Wars' Princess Leia, and Alien's
Ripley, you'll find a lot to love about GEORGE PÉREZ'S SIRENS!
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: As an intergalactic force enslaves planets across the galaxy, the
legendary team known only as the Sirens must reunite to save the galaxy-but is that
even possible when the Sirens themselves don't even remember who they are? And the
rest of the universe only remembers them as...villains? A six issue
miniseries featuring your new favourite comic book team, written and drawn by the master himself, George Pérez (Wonder Woman, JLA Vs. Avengers) begins his greatest story yet.
HELLRAISER BESTIARY #2
JIM HENSONS STORYTELLER WITCHES #1
WHY WE LOVE IT: Jim Henson's The Storyteller is a beloved celebration of fairy tales
and folklore. After releasing a critically acclaimed graphic novel we're thrilled to bring the
property's magic to single issues. In the spirit of Henson's inventive imagination, this
series dives into the mythology of witches and witchcraft through the ages with an
incredible blend of art styles and storytelling techniques, taking full advantage of the
comics medium.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: Four anthology style oneshots explore classic witch stories and fairy tales from all over the world, each told by a different creator with a breathtaking style and original voice. It's tales of magic and wonder as only these storytellers could imagine them.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: S.M. Vidaurri, writer and watercolour illustrator of the award winning
graphic novel IRON: OR, THE WAR AFTER, unfolds the stunning tale of "The Magic
Swan Goose & the Lord of the Forest." When her brother is kidnapped by a witch, a
young princess must venture into the mysterious forest beyond the castle. There, the
Lord of the Forest, an armour clad spirit who watches over the wilderness, comes to her aid,
but the princess must rely on her wits to discover who she can trust before her family is
cursed forever.

FABLES #144
 This is our solicitation,
Going out to every nation,
For a new issue of FABLES taking wing.

We thought we would this time,
Do the entire blurb in rhyme,
Just to see if anyone actually reads this thing.

In this issue, Bigby resurrected,
Quite more monstrous than expected,
Is challenged by a golden-armored knight.

They throw down in the city,
And won't it be a pity,
If lives are lost during the bloody fight.

As our special gift to you,
We make this promise true,
That the actual issue won't be all a-rhyming.

'Twill be done in the best prose we know,
About Bigby and his Fabled foe,
And their vicious battle fought with expert timing.
