New This Week: NEONOMICON and FREAKANGELS VOLUME 6

It’s a huge release day for Avatar Press, as two of our most critically acclaimed and beloved series are collected into graphic novels and made available to eagerly-awaiting fans! We proudly present, for your reading enjoyment, the Lovecraftian horror tale NEONOMICON and the final chapter of the groundbreaking web series, FREAKANGELS!

In NEONOMICON, comic book legend Alan Moore (Watchmen) and brilliant artist Jacen Burrows deliver a chilling tale of Weird Science in the vein of H.P. Lovecraft! Brears and Lamper, two young and cocky FBI agents, investigate a fresh series of ritual murders somehow tied to the final undercover assignment of Aldo Sax ?the once golden boy of the Bureau, now a convicted killer and inmate of a maximum security prison. From their interrogation of Sax (where he spoke exclusively in inhuman tongues) to a related drug raid on a seedy rock club rife with arcane symbols and otherworldly lyrics, they suspect that they are on the trail of something awful? but nothing can prepare them for the creeping insanity and unspeakable terrors they will face in the small harbor town of Innsmouth. NEONOMICON collects Alan Moore?s comic book series for the first time in its entirety ? including his original graphic novel, THE COURTYARD, which chronicled Aldo Sax?s tragic encounter with the (somewhat) mortal agents of the Old Ones! Available in softcover and hardcover formats, with illustrated covers by Jacen Burrows (CROSSED).

Also in stores today, FREAKANGELS VOLUME 6! Writer Warren Ellis and artist Paul Duffield proudly present the last stand of the FreakAngels in this final, gorgeous sixth volume of the 2010 Eagle Award-winning online web comic! Twenty-three years ago, twelve strange children were born in England at exactly the same moment. Six years ago, they used their psychic powers in unison and accidentally flooded the world. Today, they live in and defend Whitechapel, perhaps the last real settlement in soggy London, from the evil machinations of one of their own ? a ?FreakAngel? gone rogue. But when Mark, the bad seed, returns and forces his old friends to expand their consciousness beyond all concepts of space and time, they discover there?s something coming? something dark and terrible beyond the borders of Whitechapel, closing in for the kill.

FREAKANGELS VOLUME 6 is available in softcover and hardcover formats, with illustrated covers by series artist Paul Duffield. Also available as a special Signed Hardcover (with unique cover artwork different from the unsigned hardcover edition) featuring the signatures of writer Warren Ellis and artist Paul Duffield and limited to just 1000 copies!
