AVATAR PRESS FOR FEBRUARY
WARREN ELLIS' BLACK GAS #2
By Warren Ellis and Max Fiumara.
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 a black gas which belched out from under the fault line the island sits upon; A natural psychoactive that releases every foul thing in the human spirit, rendering its victims little better than zombies... a process that requires lots of energy from the body. Lots of protein. Two people were outside the area of release. One of them has family in town... and he doesn't know that they just ran out of warm meat. The boats they need to escape are on the other side of town. Just a little 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 with a Gore cover by Burrows, and
Wraparound and Terror covers by Mike Wolfer.
32 pages, $3.99.

By Mike Wolfer.
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 makes their way into the remnants of the space catamaran Grendel, where the über-Jason was created. Hoping to gut the ship of its most valuable assets, the team instead unwittingly revives a curse that transcends time itself, reawakening 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!
