Retail Price: $3.99 US
Cover: Mike Wolfer
Story and Art: Mike Wolfer
Readership: Mature Readers
Format: Full Color, 32 pages, 1 of 2

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: The gore-drenched showdown of a lifetime erupts in the depths of space as the undead, mass-murderer Jason Voorhees is reborn to face the cybernetically-enhanced and unstoppable future version of himself! As Jason X stalks the halls of an interstellar pleasure cruiser, a deep-space salvage team make their way into the remnants of the space catamaran Grendel, where the Uber-Jason was created. Hoping to gut the ship of its most valuable assets, the team instead unwittingly revives a curse that transcends time itself and reawakens the one, original Jason Voorhees. Jason's divided reign of terror will be short-lived, however, as both halves of Earth's most dreaded serial killer are drawn to one another for a confrontation that can have only one victor... And one survivor! Fan favorite creator Mike Wolfer brings this epic bloodbath to life in this viscous two issue series, both offered this month! As well as this regular cover by series artist Mike Wolfer, it's also available with a Wraparound and Terror cover by Juan Jose Ryp, and a Gore and limited metallic Nano-Steel cover with art by Mike Wolfer.

Format: Full Color, 32 pages, 2 of 3

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Horror gets a whole lot more terrifying as Warren Ellis continues his full-color zombie epic!
There were 500 people on Smoky Island. 498 of them have inhaled black gas belched out from under the fault line the island sits on. A natural psychoactive that releases every foul thing in the human spirit, rendering them little better than zombies. A process that requires lots of energy from the body. Lots of protein. Two people were outside the release. One of them has family in town. He doesn't know that his family just ran out of warm meat. The boats they need to
escape are on the other side of town. Just under five hundred cannibal psychopaths who don't feel pain are between them and safety. They don't know what's happened in Smoky Island. They don't know its history. And that's what's
going to kill them. As well as the regular cover by Jacen Burrows, this issue is also available as a Gore cover by Burrows and Wraparound and Terror covers by Mike Wolfer.
