ANTOINE SHARPE,
THE ATHEIST #2
Phil Hester and Kevin Mellon
The caustic, but brilliant skeptical investigator Antoine
Sharpe investigates a haunted small town in South Carolina in which an
inordinate amount of newlywed brides seem to go missing. The secret
Sharpe discovers not only shocks the conscience, but defies reason
itself. “The Buried Bride” is written by Phil Hester (The Darkness,
Superman Confidential) and drawn by Kevin Mellon (Gearhead, 13 Steps).

A Remembrance of Threatening Green

DENNING and BOB RAINIER are the New York-based agency Detectives, Inc.
Ted is the stable one, happily involved with Vera, and Bob is the
morose loner, a "city-dwelling Heathcliff" trying to pick up the
pieces of his life after his divorce. A hires the investigators
to find out who killed her lover, but they find much more than
they bargained! Sometimes violent, yet oftentimes touching and
emotional, “A Remembrance of Threatening Green” was at the
forefront of the way comics were created, marketed and sold and stands
today, along with McGregor’s SABRE, as one of the most important
comics of the modern era.
