Cruel Universe 2 #4 Preview

 

COVER A BY LEE BERMEJO

 

What goes around comes around. You reap what you sow. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Sure, they're clichés. But that doesn't make them untrue. Can any of the characters in this month's visionary science-fiction anthology disprove Newton's Third Law?

Here's all the info from Oni Press:

Feeling content and at peace with the state of the cosmos? WRONG! Don’t worry, Cruel Universe 2 is here to dispel that tragically optimistic fantasy!

Roy Harper has walked a difficult road. He fought crime as Green Arrow's sidekick. But when times got tough, he took solace in drugs. Roy has fought hard to rebuild his life. He's stayed clean as he resumed his superhero career. 

Green Arrow doesn't like anyone who hooks people on drugs. Whether they peddle drugs in the back alleys or rule pharmaceutical empires, they're all villains in his book. So when the Crimson Archer shoots a hypodermic of drugs into Roy, Green Arrow goes hunting. Will the "Ever-Evolving Progressive Emerald Icon" catch the latest villain to enslave the citizens of Star City?

Dark Regards #4 Preview

 

COVER A BY ARTYOM TOPILIN

Dave Hill launches his story with a life-and-death confrontation between combatants carrying edged weapons. It's an engrossing story that sucks you into the mindset of Heavy Metal musicians. Black Sabbath and Skid Row get mentioned on the first page, before one rocker's soul gets sucked into another realm. 

Artyom Topilin's art pulls you into this fun story about musicians battling the forces of darkness to bring us the music we love. Ronda Pattison's palette enhances this fun story that never gets too dark. Troy Peteri fills off-white balloons with black uppercase letters and black balloons with white letters in this story about a band fronted by a singer with KISS-like makeup. Lick it up, peeps!

Here's all the info: 

DARK REGARDS #4 (OF 4)

WRITTEN BY DAVE HILL

ART BY ARTYOM TOPILIN

COVER A BY ARTYOM TOPILIN

COVER B BY DEAN HASPIEL

FULL ART VARIANT (1:10) BY DEAN HASPIEL

HOMAGE VARIANT (1:20) BY BRIAN LEVEL


THE END IS HERE! Dave Hill (Tasteful Nudes) and Artyom Topilin’s (EC’s Cruel Universe) insanely autobiographical epic of a comedian-turned-metal-band-frontman who tested the patience of Norway’s most extreme black metal butchers is sure to end on a high note!


As Monte’s life hangs in the balance—held hostage by Lucifuge, the leader of Dave’s Norwegian archnemeses who’ve traveled halfway around the world to confront him—Dave and Witch Taint must prove their music to be more grim and brutal than anything ever heard by humans ears . . . or possibly be savagely murdered in cold blood if they can’t get it together. Talk about pressure! Dark Regards comes to its devilish denouement!
