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...)

GOD IS DEAD #1

(W) Jonathan Hickman  (A) Di Amorim

Like a thunderbolt from heaven, the epic launch issue of GOD IS DEAD is here!  East of West and Fantastic Four author JONATHAN HICKMAN launches a fierce new series that stomps where others fear to tread.  Mankind has argued over the existence of gods since the dawn of time.  In modern eras it's been fashionable to mock religious believers with taunts of scientific testimony and fact.  But when the gods of old begin to reappear on earth and claim the domain of man for their own, the world is thrown into a state of utter anarchy.  Now Horus walks the streets of Egypt, Zeus has taken over the Sistine Chapel, and Odin is coordinating the dissection of the earth among the returned deities.  Mankind held sway over the world for thousands of years and their hubris over that time has made them powerful but when faced with the divine, can mortal weapons put an end to the second coming of the gods?

Jonathan Hickman, master of the fantastically psychedelic turns his attention to one of the most debated subjects in the history of life--is there a god? gods? Well, after coming down from his last trip, Hickman clearly has the low down on the divine and is not afraid to beam it directly into your third eye!!
