SuperGod 1

SUPERGOD #1
Retail Price: $3.99 US
Cover: Felipe Massafera
Writer: Warren Ellis
Art: Garrie Gastonny
Readership: MR
Format: Full Color, 32 pages, 1 of 5

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: SUPERGOD: praying to be saved by a man who can fly will get you killed. From the creator of THE AUTHORITY and PLANETARY comes the craziest and most horrifying superhero comic you’ve ever read! In the world of SUPERGOD, superhumans are the ultimate expression of the Messiah complex, and scientists can build Messiahs who will fly down from the skies to save the world. No-one thought about how they’d do it — or even if they’d want to. So begins the apocalyptic tomorrow of SUPERGOD — the story of how supermen killed us all and ended the world just because we wanted to be rescued by human-shaped things from beyond Science itself! Take every superhero comic ever published, shove them into a nuclear-powered blender, soak it in bad vodka and set the whole thing alight — and SUPERGOD will crawl out and eat your brain! This five issue color series is drawn by Garrie Gastonny with colors by Digikore. SUPERGOD is available with a Regular cover painted by Felipe Massafera, a Wraparound by series artist Garrie Gastony, and a special retailer incentive Church Of Supergod Edition!

FreakAngels 0063

After a major cliffhanger a couple weeks back, the 12 strange residents of Drowned London are back (well… two of them this week, anyway) and getting down to business.

We have a surprise return of the FreakAngels Friday photo series here at avatarpress.com as well, with this entry entitled Back to Work. If you’re working for the weekend or through it, this would indeed be a good way to gear up. Very special thanks to @spiraltwist, one of the busiest people I know (and lemme tell ya, that’s saying something) for taking the time to do this.

If you’d like to intro an ep of FreakAngels with a pic here at avatarpress.com, let me know in the comments below or on twitter.
