Lobo's on the Highway to Hell

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:10:10 +1000

Musicians love comics. Musicians also love writing comics. Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance brought us The Umbrella Academy, R & B singer Tyrese Gibson brought us Mayhem and now Scott Ian of Anthrax brings to the comic book world a Lobo comic so over the top that you'll forget what the top used to look like. With Sam Kieth on art, this 2-part mini-series from DC features demonic Chihuahuas, the world's worst cruise ship, exploding moons, severed heads and more insanity than you can poke a Czarnian stick at!

A Lobo story like nothing you've seen before! You can imagine that when you live life the way the Main Man lives life — loud, loose, and ludicrously violent — you might pick up an enemy or two along the way. An enemy like, say, oh I don't know, Satan himself. And Satan, my friends, does not play around. Hell's iron-fisted ruler has a serious mad-on for the last Czarnian, and he's gonna hit Lobo right in his blackened, scabrous heart. So Lobo's just gonna have to hit him harder.
But first, Lobo has to go to Hell... a little sooner than anticipated!

The Dead Rise In Necrosha X

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 10:10:10 +1000

Leading into an epic crossover between New Mutants, X-Men Legacy and X-Force comes the X Necrosha one-shot, the first chapter of the Necrosha storyline.

When the dead and buried mutant past comes back to haunt the X-Men, can the combined might of three X-teams stop death itself? The Black Queen is out for revenge, and Selene will do anything to accomplish her dark goals. Following the hit Messiah War, this is not a story for the faint of heart.

Death has come to the X-Men. The one true Black Queen has returned, and she wants nothing less than every soul of mutantkind... dead or alive. And everyone that's ever crossed Selene is going to pay. The dead rise, familiar faces haunt mutants across the world, and Selene takes her final steps into becoming a god.

It all begins here in a full-length X-FORCE extravaganza, and continues in the pages of next month’s issue of X-FORCE... but the shockwaves of this terrifying event will be felt in NEW MUTANTS and X-MEN: LEGACY as well, and those reverberations begin here in two all-new bonus tales.
