September 2016 PREVIEWS Pre-Order Picks: ONI, Stranger, Titan, Valiant
EDITOR’S NOTES: This is our final article of the month regarding recommended Pre-Order Picks from the September 2016 Previews catalog. Pre-ordering your comics is the best way to make sure that you get a copy of the books you want to read. It also helps your local comics shop determine what to order so they can manage that ever-growing inventory of books. Here’s some more books that we think worth adding to your list . . . . . .
ONI PRESS, INC.
MOTRO #1 of 10: W) Ulises Farinas (A/CA) Ulises Farinas: Sounds like a worthy epic. The art is very dynamic, with European influences (Mobius, etc).
From the Previews catalog:
"A reclusive young boy with superhuman strength follows a prophecy from his dead father on a mission to save people, but when he finds the area villagers are less than thrilled by his noble intentions and he faces adversaries both human and magical-mechanical, what will it take to fulfill his destiny? Can his miniature talking motorcycle help? From illustrator and intricate world-builder Ulises Fariñas (IDW's Judge Dredd), comes the first story in the life and legend of a fantasy hero for the ages."
STRANGER COMICS
From the Previews Catalog:
"Drawn to Mars by an ancient message from Cecile, a girl who could see the future, D arrives to find a colony that is little more than a blood farm. With Left Hand by his side, D sets out to cleanse Mars of the vampiric scourge!"
TITAN COMICS
THE MUMMY #1: (W) Peter Milligan (A) Ronilson Friere (CA) John McCrea. In a partnership with Hammer Film Studios, who brought to life popular versions of filmic monsters along with original creations, will be producing comic versions of the characters in new and original stories to continue the proud Hammer tradition. Scripter Peter Milligan, no stranger to tales of the strange, is the perfect choice to write this!
From the Previews Catalog:
"For 2000 years the Sect of Anubis have prolonged their life spans through human sacrifice and the enslavement of an Egyptian High Priestess cursed to walk the afterlife for all eternity. On one night every 30 years the Sect must offer up a human vessel to house the spirit of Nebetah so that they can kill her and drink her blood, thus granting them immortality. But this year they have chosen the wrong vessel and she's not going willingly…"
VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT
"Six months ago, a secret team of renegade whistleblowers leaked the existence of these extraordinarily dangerous individuals to a stunned world. Today, all across the country, crude, DIY psiot activation attempts have left hundreds brain damaged...or worse. The emergence of a new psiot in a community often leads to riots and mass violence. Gun sales are through the roof.
With this revolutionary upheaval now in motion, Kris Hathaway, John "Torque" Torkelson, Faith "Zephyr" Herbert, and Peter Stanchek are about to discover their calling. Together, the HARBINGER RENEGADES are moving from town to town, building their ranks, and subverting authority one mind at a time...and setting out to prove once and for all that behind their power, there has always been a purpose."
"Fifteen years ago, the world's most famous soccer star and his former supermodel wife -pregnant with their unborn child - disappeared without a trace. The world believes they are dead... But, in reality, their private jet crash-landed on a mysterious, unknown island ruled by prehistoric creatures from another time...
This is the story of how they lost their humanity.
This November, acclaimed writer B. Clay Moore (Hawaiian Dick) and explosive artists Clayton Henry (HARBINGER WARS) and Lewis LaRosa (BLOODSHOT REBORN) present a relentless epic of survival in a cold-blooded land ruled by instinct alone as SAVAGE makes his brutal entrance into the Valiant Universe!"
