Hellblazer: City of Demons TP

By Si Spencer & Sean Murphy

If you've ever wanted to see what all the fuss surrounding John Constantine is all about, look no further. This stand-alone mini series from Si Spencer and Joe the Barbarian artist Sean Murphy is both new reader friendly and totally effed up. Constantine is struck by a car and ends up in the ER…hovering over his comatose body. Meanwhile, some ethically lacking physicians decide to mess around with our hero's demonically tainted blood, which leads to a few hapless patients going red in the eyes and more than a little preoccupied with some casual murdering. The real star of the show? Sean Murphy's jaw-dropping visuals, more than an appetizer for his upcoming American Vampire spinoff.

Image Firsts: Jack Staff #1

By Paul Grist

If you ask people who know good comics, most will tell you how great Paul Grist is.  A British creator whose work I've enjoyed for years has been quietly creating one of the most inventive and fun comics around with Jack Staff, and now's your chance to get on board for just ONE DOLLAR.  Again, you have no excuse not to try this.  If you like superheroes, vampires, British humour, and general comic book wacky-ness, then Jack Staff is the book for you, and it's just ONE DOLLAR!

The Rocketeer Adventures #1

By Mike Allred, Kurt Busiek, John Cassaday, Alex Ross & Dave Stevens

I love The Rocketeer for reasons that consist mostly of design. It's just such a wonderful look. Sure, I saw the movie and it was tons of fun but mostly I remember the wonderful art direction and costume design. And yes, I bought the giant Artist's Edition that IDW put out last year but that wasn't so much for the story as it was an art book purchase. I am excited for this series not only for the design but because IDW is really bringing out the high level talent. Allred? Busiek? Cassaday? Ross? And work from the late Rocketeer creator Dave Stevens? And that's just number one! Darwyn Cooke's got a short story in an up-coming issue!
