Seems like we’re getting more feast than famine this week from Image. There are however, a few promising nuggets releasing this week. I’ve been meaning to actually read The Walking Dead Weekly so maybe the ebbing flow of comics will allow me that freedom. Also Bomb Queen Vs. Hack Slash looks like a promising one shot provided you’re into: serial killers killing serial killers, green dudes in gas masks, scantily clad women near explosions and alternate dimensions. My rambling aside, the list is below.
Happy tuesday everybody.
Artifacts #6
The Battle Begins in Earnest!
The antagonist’s plans continue to unfold with deadly precision as Witchblade, The Darkness, Angelus, Tom Judge, and Magdalena are drawn into a conflict with the heroes of Cyberforce. Just as the misunderstanding is resolved Aphrodite IV arrives with murderous intentions. How does one defeat an opponent who doesn’t feel pain or tire?
From Top Cow Universe architect Ron Marz (Witchblade, Magdalena) and legendary artist Whilce Portacio (The Darkness, Uncanny X-Men) comes an event series, which will literally shake the Top Cow Universe to its foundation. Featuring a gorgeous cover by Phil Noto (Pilot Season: 7 Days From Hell, Jonah Hex) as well as a variant cover featuring Aphrodite IV by John Tyler Christopher (Witchblade).
Each issue will also feature a Top Cow Origin backup written by Marz and drawn by a superstar artist.

The demon dog, Pooch, leads Hack/Slash’s Cassie and Vlad to the dimension of superheroes where they hunt Bomb Queen’s cat, Ashe.

Mice Templar Vol 3 #3
“ROYAL DIVISION”

Royal Consort Lorelie tests the alliance between rat and weasel. And Captain Tosk returns, bringing order as only his iron gauntlet and heartless will can achieve.
