What a huge week for Avatar Press fans!? When you head to your local comic shop tomorrow, you’ll find new comics and graphic novels aplenty!? Here’s a spotlight on our latest collected editions, SUPERGOD and CROSSED VOL. 2: FAMILY VALUES.
The SUPERGOD Graphic Novel
From the sparking mad mind of Warren Ellis comes SUPERGOD!? What if the arms race of global superpowers did not yield nuclear stockpiles, but rather messianic beings capable of wondrous miracles and ? when needed ? the ability to unleash the wrath of gods?? But when the scientists, generals, and politicians built super-humans to save the planet, no one ever imagined how their heroes would do it ? or even if they?d want to.? Behold the apocalyptic tomorrow, when supermen kill us all and end the world just because we wanted to be rescued by human-shaped things from beyond Science itself!
Collecting all five issues of the epic miniseries by writer Warren Ellis and artist Garrie Gastonny, the 128-page SUPERGOD graphic novel comes in both softcover and hardcover formats, featuring gorgeous painted covers by Felipe Massafera.? The SUPERGOD collection belongs right next to Ellis’ other groundbreaking superhero epics, BLACK SUMMER and NO HERO, on your book shelf!

The CROSSED VOLUME 2: FAMILY VALUES Graphic Novel
If you’ve been reading CROSSED, you know the terrifying premise:? an outbreak of insanity has swept across the planet, turning millions of people into the homicidal maniacs known as ?the Crossed.?? In FAMILY VALUES, the ranching Pratt family of North Carolina remain uninfected and defiant.? Bonded together over generations by working, living, and learning together, they rely on Joe, the family patriarch, to see them through the apocalypse.? But the Pratt family has a deep, dark secret ? one that threatens to tear them apart, even under the constant threat of the murderous hordes.? You see, some men are turned to Crossed, but are just born evil!? Eighteen year-old daughter Adaline will soon discover which breed is worse…
All seven issues of David Lapham’s horror masterpiece are collected in the FAMILY VALUES graphic novel, featuring artwork by Javier Barreno.? Lapham, best known as the critically acclaimed creator of the gritty STRAY BULLETS series, delivers a tale so twisted, so shocking, it more than earns its place next to the original runaway bestselling CROSSED by superstar writer Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows!?
