Containing CAPULLO's very best comics and illustration work, this stunning collection of drawings and paintings finally removes the text and logos from all those covers, and lets you take a good long look at the art itself.

I know the medium, and that’s not what I would say.

Witchblade Compendium Edition
(W) Wohl, Turner, Z, Jenkins (P) Turner, Green, Cha (I) D-Tron (C ) Smith, Firchow
There's nothing like going back to the beginning and reading it all over again-- issue #1-50 collected into one trade paperback. See how the Witchblade chose Sara and threw her into the chaotic world of the supernatural. Get the first appearances of Sara Pezzini, Ian Nottingham, Kenneth Irons and Jackie Estacado in one handy tome!
For those of you who missed out on masturbating to Turner’s original design the first time.
Cyberforce #4
(W) Ron Marz (P) Pat Lee (Col) Dream Engine (Cov) Pat Lee
Cyberforce was born thanks to having the DNA of an alien race spliced into their genes. Now the team may very well die at the hands of those same god-like aliens! As the alien mothership nears earth, Cyberforce must be at full strength to have any chance of winning the coming battle, and that means finding powerhouse Impact and convincing him to rejoin the team. Of course, first Ripclaw and his teammates must survive an aerial dogfight, and face off against deadly mechanized warriors. Ron Marz and Pat Lee continue the rebirth of Top Cow's team supreme!
It’s so very cute how they still think Ripclaw is cool.
Innocents Book #1
(W) David Wohl (P) Bing Casino (C ) Haberlin Studios
Young, smart and beautiful, Grace Stokes had the perfect life. At 32 years old, she'd already accomplished what most people could only dream of. First as a multiple-record-setting X-Games champion, and most recently as sole designer and president of her own clothing company, Grace was an icon for a generation. But on a fateful trip to Japan, Grace discovered that she was no ordinary person-she was one in a long line of special individuals known as THE INNOCENTS. Blessed with unbelievable abilities, the Innocents are living embodiments of Yin and Yang and, unfortunately for Grace, somebody wants them DEAD. Written by Witchblade, Darkness and Aphrodite IX co-creator David Wohl and featuring the art of newcomer Bing Casino and Haberlin Studios, THE INNOCENTS is a book not to be missed!
Just once, I’d like to see David Wohl create a character who’s *not* tied to an ancient mystical legacy.
That’s all this month. Full solicits are here. Happy Hunting.
