SALVAGERS #1-3

(W) Robert Salley (A) George Acevedo & DeSika

In the distant future, the habitable planets are connected through trade of natural and artificial resources. The import and export business is flourishing for some systems, while leaving others at the mercy of major trade corporations.

After the Galactic War ended, peace blanketed the galaxy; however, planets with little shipping resources turned to piracy or developed small guerilla military units geared to pillage trade ships. This spawned the necessity for trade companies to hire private security contractors for protection.

Even under the security of peacetime, there is no shortage of violence in outer space; from looting raiders, Navy destroyers neutralizing a rebel movement to the simplest space station falling victim to a rogue asteroid.

These destroyed or abandoned ships and stations are classified as “WRECKS”.

Licensed crews are commissioned by governments, empires and corporations to remove these wrecks.

In a hostile galaxy, the risk and reward is high for these crews.

They are known as… the SALVAGERS

IN YO FACE, SUCKA!! COPRA ROUND ONE TRADE PAPERBACK IS HERE!!

COPRA TP ROUND ONE

(W/A) Michel Fiffe

Meka is the tale of two pilots in the far future whose vehicle, a giant walking war-machine designed to defend inhabited planets from alien threats, is disabled in combat, leaving them stranded and left to their own talents and judgment to survive the ruined urban warzone they themselves inadvertently created. This sci-fi story is as much about the politics of warfare as it is about the two characters relationship during the trials faced during their escape.

KOYAMA ATTACK!! NEW INDY COMIX FROM MIKE DEFORGE!

Michael DeForge was born in 1987 and grew up in Ottawa, Ontario. He began drawing gig posters in high school order to get into clubs for free. He attended the University of Toronto and dropped out after two years in order to focus more of his mental energy on drawing dogs wearing sunglasses, or whatever. He spent a lot of time dishwashing. After a few years of experimenting with short strips and zines, he finished Lose #1, his first full-length comic, in 2009. It was published by Koyama Press and won in the Best Emerging Talent category at the 2010 Doug Wright Awards. Issue 2 of Lose was released in 2010, and issue 3 is scheduled to debut at the 2011 Toronto Comics Art Festival. His influences include Jack Kirby, Eduardo Munoz Bachs, Mark Newgarden and Hideshi Hino. He currently lives and works in Toronto as a cartoonist, commercial illustrator, and as an effects, props, and character designer for the hit Cartoon Network program Adventure Time.

(He also make some of the most bizarre, unsettling and graphically unique comics to ever sit on the rack of a comic store.)

 

BODY BENEATH TP

(W/A) Michael Deforge

A Body Beneath collects issues 2-5 of Michael DeForge’s multi-award winning, anthology Lose. DeForge’s singular vision reveals the menace in the mundane, the humor in the horrific. He has crafted a phantasmagoria of stories that feature a spider-infested pet horse head, post-apocalyptic dogs dealing with existential angst, the romantic undertones of a hired hit, and more.

 

LOSE #4

(W/A) Michael Deforge

The fourth installment of Michael DeForge’s award-winning, one-artist anthology series Lose is another genre-defying mix of visual styles and cartooning. This issue—“The Fashion Issue”—features a post-adolescent punk’s leather-and-spike-laced metamorphosis, a look at the lives and fashions of the exquisite corpses that make up the Canadian Royalty, and a town that is haunted by its past, which happens to look a lot like its present. Along with these longer stories, Lose #4 also features shorter strips and pin-ups including Abbey Loafer whose adventures also grace the pages of Toronto’s Offerings zine. Lose #4 is a comic that blends the banal with the bizarre to create a mélange that is filled with horror and discomfort, humanity and humour.

 

LOSE #5

(W/A) Michael Deforge

Lose #5 is the latest issue in Michael DeForge's one-man anthology series. This issue houses three self-contained stories: “Living Outdoors” tracks two high school students as they explore a zoo and experiment with hallucinogens. “Muskoka” is the story of a cowboy on the road home to see his family. “Recent Hires” follows a young author’s descent into the criminal underworld in order to win the affections of a girl.

VERY CASUAL TP

(W/A) Michael Deforge

Culled from mini comics, online comics and anthology contributions, Very Casual collects notable short stories from DeForge’s prolific oeuvre. Included are stories about litter gangs, meat-filled snowmen, righteous cops, beagle/human hybrids, and forest-bound drag queens. Very Casual also collects Spotting Deer, which won the Pigskin Peters Award for best non-traditional, non-narrative or avant-garde work at the 2011 Doug Wright Awards.

NEW INDY COMIX!!

THE MYSTERIOUS CASE

(W/A) Rich Tommaso

1939 sees Sam Hill (from The Cavalier Mr. Thompson) working as an investigator for the L.A. District Attorney. His first murder case is one that has the city turned on its ear, being that it directly involves one of, not only the city's, but the world's richest oil magnates. All hope of solving the double-murder case lies inside a leather satchel that is somewhere in the city of angels... or so Sam believes.

24 pages, 7.25 X 11, B&W and gray tones with color covers.

NEW INDY COMIX!!

We've got a helping heap o' new weirdness from the desolate, far off lands of South Dakota courtesy of cartoonist Marc Wagner!! His previous zines, Subconscious Thoughts We Almost Lost Forever  and New Colors of Eyes and Leaves were great little pieces of insight into a strange young man's psyche and it looks like this time the scope plunges even deeper into the offbeat oddities of molecular science, celebrities, Dracula and most importantly--CATS!!

DR. PROFANE'S 2014 PINUP CALENDAR AND COMIC

(W) Dr. Profane (A) Various

It's a calendar - It's a comic book - It's two great treats together (ok, I know I just used that joke a few weeks ago, but there you are).

Dr. Profane is extending his practice beyond the confines of Southern California and opening a branch office here at Zanadu Comics. This Mad Scientist (he claims he is not mad,  just easily irritated) is a man whose passion for sweetleaf, transgressive science and saucy photography is matched only by his passion for a woman who is all brain. Literally. His faithful companion, Margarita, is actually a brain that has been transplanted into a series of beautiful female bodies over many centuries (the first body she remembers inhabiting was that of Egyptian Queen, Nefertiti). They are joined in their adventures by Franco, champion grower, Mexican wrestling fanatic and rabid arachnaphobe. In this combination comic book/calendar every month of 2014 is preceded by a two-page comics adventure. The calendar for the month is highlighted by a saucy pinup of one of Margarita's hosts posed to emphasize a theme from that month's story. As an added bonus, each month gives you a new phrase to enter on the Dr. Profane website to access additional photos and stories throughout the year. All this for a measly Nine Bucks. No memberships! No Subscriptions!! No recurring fees!!!

COMICS SHOULD SMELL GOOD!! Ep.#55!

For Halloween, Casey decided to dress up like Anna. And Morgan's costume is REALLY scary. Sandman: Overture and Damian: Son of Batman begin this week, X-Men: Battle of the Atom and Five Ghosts wrap up, and all your other favorites continue. And Thought Bubble is the best smelling comic of the bunch.

COPRA RETURNS TO KICK OTHER COMIC'S ASSES!

COPRA #7

(W/A) Michel Fiffe

 You’ve made it this far… six issues of carnage, fisticuffs and shoot ‘em ups. Our first arc is behind us but the story is far from over. This time around we take a chance to find out a little more about our Copra guys and gals. The story’s called “Personal Files” and it’s… well, I hate to describe it as quiet because someone gets shot, someone gets burned, and someone is violently choked (as opposed to gently choked). You get the idea: the title says it all.
