CONCEPT: In 1991, after decades of skepticism and disbelief, the existence of psychic powers was finally, definitively proven. Today, an estimated 1% of the world's population possess psychic abilities. These people are not superheroes. In most ways, they're just ordinary people, living ordinary lives. They have families, careers and dreams; they eat, sleep, live - and die.

Spawn #147 $2.50
CLOUDBURST OGN 64 pages, FC $7.95
co-writers Justin Gray, Jimmy Palmiotti with Christopher Shy and Eliseu Gouveia providing the art. Cloudburst is a popcorn movie, a throwback to the fun sci-fi/horror matinees involving a former prison world, corporate espionage, monsters, easy sex and desperadoes. A beautiful scientist named Lauren Moore has created Cloudburst, a weather machine that can manufacture rain on arid planets. Lauren has the corporate sponsorship to test this machine and if it’s successful it will change human colonization forever. Unfortunately she picked the wrong world to test her machine. As usual we don’t stick with one specific genre. There’s tons of action, rough language and violence as well as romance and a dash of western.
This is the work of two comic book creators that give a shit about the buying public, enough so that they took all the money they made from working on another series for a bigger company and invested it right back into the genre! We took a risk and all for the love of the art form.

MARCH FOR MAI 2004
SPAWN: Simony 68 p; $7.95 The story involves former Hellspawn and current Spawn mentor Cogliostro in a scheme to rid himself of his Hellspawn curse. The events depicted in the story take place after issue #100 and before Al Simmons became "separated" from his Spawn counterpart. Cog -- with the help of a young woman -- gathers ancient religious artifacts which played a major role in human history 2000 years ago. The action shifts from the Far East to Paris, where the French government's security service is also looking for one of the artifacts to breed its own super-soldier and eventually sell the technology. That secret project is located in the Paris catacombs and combines science and sorcery. Some religious orders seek to destroy this project, because it could cast a new light on the true identity of one of Christianity's most sacred icons. Cog must have the artifact to obtain redemption and Spawn wants to stop the madness of it all. These characters and their conflicting agendas eventually collide in Paris under the eye of Mr. D, the man-in-white in charge of Hell.
SECRET WAR BOOK TWO (OF FIVE) $3.99
SOJOURN/LADY DEATH #1 (of 2) 32 pages, $2.95. Written by Chuck Dixon and Brian Pulido, penciled by George Perez.
The fury of a woman scorned is not to be taken lightly. Never have there been better examples of this fury, either, than in the origins of Arwyn and Lady Death.
Both women were subjected to hardships and terror that would have made most damsels dash for the bedroom to cry their eyes out. But these two fiery females instead turned their grief into rage. The archer Arwyn vowed to put an end to the reign of the dreaded tyrant Mordath. Swearing vengeance after the deaths of her husband and daughter, she undertakes a quest to see Mordath dead. In the case of Lady Death, she was once the daughter of Matthias, a 666th generation descendant of the fallen angels. Due to her father's cruelty and ambition, Hope soon found herself with no choice but to renounce her humanity and enter Hell.
These are two of Eve’s daughters that we have come to love and read about in CrossGen Entertainment comics. But whereas they have been separated from each other in the CrossGen universe, now both are being brought together in Sojourn/Lady Death #1.
This crossover is written by veteran Chuck Dixon and Brian Pulido, featuring penciled artwork by none other than George Perez. See Mordath pit Arwyn and her mystical bow against Lady Death and her Eldritch steel blade in this upcoming two-issue mini-series!

The fairies are trying to convince Footman 15 to not find and kill The Beast. "Destroying The Beast will bring an end to all you know," she is warned. But it's her duty and so she kills The Beast. Once the job is complete, however, she can't help but wonder what she's truly done.

Set in the city of Los Angeles, circa 2262, Elephantmen reintroduces Hip Flask and reveals the world he now lives in, and how he and the rest of the Elephantmen are being treated twenty years after being released from captivity. Hip now works for a government bureau known as The Information Agency. The young and lovely and very human Vanity Case is Hip's fellow Information Agent, a rookie who has been partnered with Hip because no one else wants the job; Obadiah Horn is a human/rhino hybrid who seems to have overcome the obstacles and prejudices presented to the Elephantmen by man and has established himself as an enormously wealthy and successful trader. Horn enjoys the support and devotion of the beautiful Sahara. Elephantmen also introduces readers to Serengheti, a rival trader whose envy of Horn's success is matched only by his hatred for all the Elephantmen, and The Silencer, a former MAPPO employee who somehow escaped judgment for the part he played in the corruption and abuse of Hip Flask and his kind.

Sephie is being held prisoner in the dye vats of that city, but manages to escape, facing monstrous dangers on her route back to Meridian.

Well, in THIS story, Meriem is the one who gets stuck, and it's not Rabbits home where she gets stuck, it's the lair of a pack of viscous RAPTORS! Oh my! This is a prehistoric periodical at its finest, but keep it hidden from the kiddies!

ARIA THE USES OF ENCHANTMENT #1 (Of 4) It all begins when a message literally falls into Killdare's lap, an invitation addressed simply to ‘The Fairest in the Land.’ This leads Kildare - a 900-year-old Faerie princess living in modern New York, and the ‘star’ of the Aria series - to strange little ‘enchanted kingdom’ tucked away in the Catskills Mountains. As the story unfolds, Kildare will learn not only who created the kingdom, but for what reasons this fairytale refuge exists in the first place. Originally, ‘The Uses of Enchantment’ was a roadside theme park that flourished in the 1950s. However, changing times and tastes in entertainment have resulted in the park being abandoned (well, by human tourists) for decades. And like all fairytale kingdoms, The Uses of Enchantment has a very dark secret at its heart.

The story unfolds when a mystical crow brings Michael Shaw, a New York photographer, back from the grave to seek vengeance for the murder of himself and his wife. Michael and Lady Death join forces, as the Reaper's avatar strives to free the soul of Michael's wife from the clutches of a depraved sorcerer –– a struggle which also compels her to deal with the lasting impact of her first ill-fated romance. With art by Romano Molenaar, this is a tale of sadness and gothic beauty that cannot be missed!
