NEW STORY ARC
The world-melting CASANOVA returns. Casanova Quinn doesn't remember who he is or how he got here-the only thing he knows is an awful lot of people want him dead and the world might be ending. Psychedelic, sexy, and surreal science-fiction the way only comics can do it.

INHUMANITY #1

(W) Matt Fraction  (A) Oliver Coipel

• After INFINITY, the Marvel Universe has changed.
•  The Avengers find themselves face to face with Karnak who has discovered the secret of the Inhumans that will shake the Marvel U to its core.

Ok, so we all know that whatever 'secret' the Inhumans are hiding will most likely be brushed under the rug of the next big marvel "epic," but what I CAN tell you is that Oliver Coipel is gonna blow your damn nipples off by the 3rd page with his otherworldly rendering of the greatest supporting characters to ever grace the pages of FF!! Hot off his 3 issue run on X-Men, Coipel proves that he can draw more than just a pretty face, espeically if he is to keep up with Fraction's balls to the wall story that sets the tone for the next stage of the Marvel U!!

SEX CRIMINALS #3

(W) Matt Fraction (A) Chip Zdarsky

How did these two end up in that bank, with those guns? Because they seemed like such nice kids, right? Well, THE SEX POLICE have the same questions and descend on Susie and Jon. And we get the rest of Jon's gory story - if you read ONE weird sex and time comedy comic this year, make sure it's "My Sexual Errors 1998 - Present!"

I am still surprised how much i like this comic. I wasn't sure that i would. I've spent a lot of time pimping this book in the store, spent some "quality time" alone with it, and now I'm gonna pass some of the love around online. Oh, by the by, if you don't usually read letter pages...do. Matt Fraction letter pages are worth the time.

SEX CRIMINALS #1

(W) Matt Fraction (A) Chip Zdarsky

 A SEX COMEDY FOR COMICS
Suzie's a normal girl with an extraordinary ability: when she has sex, she stops time. One night she meets John...  who has the same gift. And so they do what any other sex-having, time-stopping, couple would do: they rob banks. In the vein of THE 40-YEAR OLD VIRGIN and BRIDESMAIDS, Image Comics invites you to come along with MATT FRACTION (Hawkeye, SATELLITE SAM) and CHIP ZDARSKY  (Prison Funnies, Monster Cops) for the series that puts the "comic" back in "comics" and the "sexy" back in "sex crimes."

Comics superstar Matt Fraction unveils yet another Image #1 filled with Sex! Violence! Time travel! Crime! Teaming up with newcomer, Chip Zdarsky this book looks to fill the wild side in all of us, capturing that perfect moment of fleeting oblivion where nothing matters but you and the one whose eyes you are staring into. Obviously, this has already sold out, but never fear, we've got enough copies to please a hundred roomfuls of sex addicts (and don't worry, you're secret is safe with us...)

SATELLITE SAM #1

(W) Matt Fraction (A) Howard Chaykin

 SEX o DEATH o LIVE TV!
NEW YORK CITY, 1951: The host of beloved daily television serial "Satellite Sam" turns up dead in a flophouse filled with dirty secrets. The police think it was death by natural causes but his son knows there was something more... if only he could sober up long enoguh to do something about it. This noir mystery shot through with sex and violence exposes the seedy underbelly of the golden age of television.

Normally when you get "sex and violence" in a solicit, one must assume it is being used just to help sell a book cuz they can't think of any better way to push it, but when you've got a name like Howard Chaykin involved, well, this sh*t just went to NC-17, baby. Get ready for the golden age of dirty secrets as Matt Fraction and Chaykin bring you the filthy, glitzy and glamorous underside of the American delusion! For fans of American Flagg, American Splendor, Casanova and Black Kiss!!

(W) Matt Fraction  (A) Gabriel Ba

One of the most critically acclaimed series of the year comes to its catastrophic conclusion. CASANOVA: AVARITIA #4 answers every question (almost), solves every riddle (kind of), and explains absolutely everything you ever wanted to know about the world of CASANOVA (in a way). Casanova Quinn, hated on all sides by tyrant and hero alike, must flee from time and space, aim one batch of enemies at the other, kill everybody and save everything simultaneously. Don't be afraid: you are an apocalypse dreaming of butterflies + the first part of reincarnation is dying...

Rejoice, Earthmen, for the end is here! Break out the Hookah and that small brown bottle in your shaving kit, cause it's gonna be a wild ride from here on out!! As the layers of reality blend, Casanova must gamble all in one last, Booster Gold, hail mary pass through the multiverse that will certainly end is his death, but perhaps his rebirth as well.
