Written by Nic Carcieri, pencils and cover by Rantz.
Since before recorded time, a war has been fought between Heaven and Hell. After millennia of stalemate after stalemate, a truce was called. Today, after centuries of peace, a renegade demon named Rascallion has uncovered a long-forgotten portal to the human world located in Las Vegas, Nevada, and decides the time is right to make his move and conquer our world in the name of his father, the Dark Lord, Satan himself.
There is an elite team of angel warriors called the Ninth Order. They are the very best of Heaven's grand army. Since its inception, the team has always consisted of four angels. No more, no less. If one member should fall another rises to take its place. Rascallion's actions have necessitated the resurrection of the team. The team consists of four beautiful but deadly female angels. Each has their own area of combat expertise. They are watched over by an ancient angel named Bobbin, who is considered the greatest warrior in the history of the Heaven's Army. Now the team, Lenya, Ki-nora, Rica and BJ, must stop Rascallion and his horde of demons, including the small-but-psychotic Hugo and the silent killing machine called Blast Furnace, from taking over our world and reigniting the fires of war between Heaven and Hell.

GEARZ #2
Written by Dan Rafter, pencils by Thiago Silva, covers by Silva and Rantz.
Karen Chugg is suddenly the most popular student in school. But she can't shake the sneaking suspicion that her newfound popularity has more to do with her three new friends -- each of whom happens to be a super-powered robot -- than it does with her gluten-free cookies, big heart and winning smile. Then there's the matter of the rogue teachers, chemical-fueled beasts, hooded assassins and clueless president, all of whom would like to tear Karen's new robot pals apart. And if that's not enough for a high school junior to worry about, there's also the new boy in school, who just happens to be the only robot bigger, meaner and deadlier than Karen's new friends.
