DARK HORSE COMICS FIRST LOOKS
FIRST LOOK: CITIZEN REX #2
Citizen Rex #2 will arrive in stores on August 12 from Dark Horse Comics. The issue is written by Mario Hernandez and Gilbert Hernandez, with art by Gilbert Hernandez.
Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:
"Tensions are high in our fair city, as the debate over robot rights and human rights turns violent. The return of disgraced, lifelike robot CTZ-RX -- Citizen Rex -- only throws gas on the fire, though it's not bad news for everybody. It may be the best thing that's ever happened to gossip blogger Sergio Bauntin, whose columns about Rex bring him new levels of notoriety.
"In this chapter, Rex's secret origin is revealed, along with clues to why he's back, and hints about what the mob has to do with all this."
Citizen Rex #2 will be 24 black-and-white pages and will cost $3.50.

FIRST LOOK: CONAN THE CIMMERIAN #13
Conan the Cimmerian #13 will arrive in stores on August 12 from Dark Horse Comics. The issue is written by Timothy Truman, with art by Tomas Giorello and a cover by Joseph Michael Linsner.
Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:
"In 'Black Altar,' the relentless final chapter in the 'Black Colossus' adaptation, Natohk's desert hordes surge up the narrow Shamla Pass, and Conan's ragged army desperately attempts to hold their high ground. Outnumbered and facing an army fueled by a zealous, reborn Stygian wizard, simply surviving may be the greatest victory Conan can hope for. Any triumph will ring hollow, though, if Conan can't protect Khoraja's current sovereign, the beautiful Princess Yasmela -- whom Natohk has vowed to capture! Tim Truman, Tomás Giorello, and José Villarrubia bring the gripping, blood-filled Battle of Shamla Pass to life!"
Conan the Cimmerian #13 will be 40 pages and will cost $2.99.
