FIRST LOOK: HOPE FALLS #1

Hope Falls #1 will arrive in stores in November from Markosia Publishing. The issue is by Tony Lee and Dan Boultwood.

Here's how Markosia describes the issue:

"Hope Falls is the tale of Helen, a small town waitress who returns to the town she was murdered in, twenty years after her death.

"But although the four men involved have moved on with their lives, Helen hasn't aged a day and has a wealth of new powers in her arsenal as she returns for one reason only - vengeance . And, as the body count starts to rise, we discover a shocking secret - Helen is an Angel, free-falling from Heaven in a search for revenge and each one gained is a step towards Hell. She is falling, and only one man, the enigmatic Michael can stop her.

"But as the story progresses, Michael himself discovers that there is more to this than a simple killing - and that this is part of an Angelic conspiracy that goes all the way back to the time of Christ. Can he stop her, and more importantly - should he stop her? And with dark forces siding against her, will Helen even manage to complete the job?"

Hope Falls #1 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.
