AVATAR PRESS FOR JULY

ABSOLUTION VOLUME 1

Written by Christos Gage, art by Roberto Viacava, covers by Juan Jose Ryp and Jace Burrowns.

All seven of the original issues of Absolution are here as well as a huge cover gallery and an all-new Crime Files segment with additional information on John Dusk's allies and most feared villains! You've seen Christos Gage's work for Marvel, WildStorm, IDW and others, but you've never seen his imagination unleashed with absolutely no restrictions...until now. Absolution introduces John Dusk, a superhero in a world where they're a sanctioned arm of law enforcement. But this veteran hero has been scarred by his exposure to man's infinite capacity for evil, and he's seen one too many perpetrators escape justice. One day he crosses the line...lets a murderer die...and discovers it feels good. Surrounded by sociopaths, both human and superhuman, who he knows will prey on others if they're not stopped--permanently-- how far will he go, knowing every step he takes puts him further on a collision course with his teammates Alpha and The Servant, not to mention his homicide detective girlfriend? Drawing on his experience writing for TV crime dramas like Law & Order: SVU, and his years of acclaimed work on comics like G.I. Joe: Cobra, StormWatch: PHD, and Avengers: The Initiative, Gage and artist Roberto Viacava bring you a riveting, no-punches-pulled saga that fans of shows like The Shield and Dexter, or comics such as Powers and Sleeper, won't be able to put down. John Dusk wants to be forgiven... but he doesn't want to stop. This amazing collection is also available as a Hardcover edition with an all-new cover by artist Juan Jose Ryp that is limited to just 1500 copies!

Hardcover, 192 pages, $34.99; Softcover, 192 pages, $24.99.

CROSSED: FAMILY VALUES #3

Written by David Lapham, art by Javier Barreno, covers by Jacen Burrows and Juan Jose Ryp.

The Pratt family was torn apart by the sudden strike of the infected masses, they watched family members horrifically killed. The survivors founded a whole new settlement, banded together with other stragglers, and have started to build a new life hidden away from the Crossed. But what is the price of surviving in this new World, could it be that the only way to persevere is to be even more evil than the Crossed are? At humanity's darkest hour – some folks just need killing. Imagine, for a moment, the worst crimes against humanity. Picture the cruelest affronts to decency. Conjure your darkest nightmares... and then realize it could all be so much worse. When civilization crumbles in one terrifying moment; when people are gleefully breaking into unthinkable acts of violence all around you; when everyone you love has died screaming in agony: What do you do? There is no help. There is no hope. There is no escape. There are only the Crossed.

FEVRE DREAM #5

Written by George R.R. Martin, art by Rafa Lopez, covers by Felipe Massafera.

The ten-issue vampire epic on the bayou from the writer of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels continues in issue five! From the New York Times Best-selling author, George R. R. Martin, comes a tale of vampire clans, death and debauchery, legendary blood masters, and even a few epic steamboat races on the muddy Mississippi. This is Martin's Fevre Dream, an antebellum story of power, loss, and the fever of bloodlust. It's time for Joshua York to tell Abner Marsh the truth. No, the real truth. All of it. And Marsh isn't going to like most of it, but there's a war coming, and if he's going to pick sides, he needs to know what he's in for. Blood and pain, good and evil, truth and lies -- this issue brings everything to light, just in time for the coming darkness: Damon Julian. Each issue of this stunning full-color epic is illustrated by Rafa Lopez, an artist whose skilled line captures every moonlit drop of blood in delicious detail. Adapted by the Hugo-nominated author Daniel Abraham, this version of Fevre Dream stays faithful to Martin's original dark vision, while bringing the torture and joy of his vampires to almost-human life.

32 pages, $3.99.
