From masters of horror Steve Niles and Bernie Wrightson comes the most anticipated and monster-filled comics series of the year, City of Others. When Stosh Bludowski awakes from the nightmare of the last twenty-four hours, his life will be forever changed. It's not like Blud-a ruthless hit man- hasn't known darkness before, but awakening to the reality that the world is filled with zombies and vampires isn't the easiest thing to swallow. Now that he's in the midst of a family of vampires ("others," as they prefer to be called), and they're under attack by an invading army of rampaging zombies, Blud needs to choose a side, and doing so will seal his fate forever. [STEVE NILES (W), BERNIE WRIGHTSON (A), and JOSE VILLARRUBIA (C)]
The epic journey of murderer-turned-monster Stosh "Blud" Bludowski continues in this third issue of Bernie Wrightson and Steve Niles's City of Others! A murderer as remorseless as Blud isn't made in a day, as readers will see in the flashback sequence showing his cruel childhood forays into killing. But things are changing for Blud now that he's chosen eternal life among the Others, and the man who was barely human before is now tortured by his own acts of brutality. But there is little time for reflection now, as Blud must put his newfound emotion to better use by rallying to save what remains of his new family-the Others. [STEVE NILES (W), BERNIE WRIGHTSON (A), and JOSE VILLARRUBIA (C)]
The monster-mental pairing of Bernie Wrightson and Steve Niles comes to a fetid, blistering head with the fourth issue of City of Others! Former serial-killer-for-hire Stosh "Blud" Bludowski has made his choice. He's now a full-fledged monster-a vampiric "Other," ironically now more emotionally human than he ever was as a man. Now this lifelong killer is neck-deep in a world of beings as deadly and ruthless as he ever was. If his undead life is to continue, and his aim of avenging the family he joined to become an Other is to be realized, Blud has a choice he must face . . . [Steve Niles (W), Bernie Wrightson (A), and José Villarrubia (C)]
Conan finds himself at odds with Horsa-an Aesir leader last seen in "The Frost Giant's Daughter"-when he tries to protect his former Cimmerian lover, Caollan, from Horsa's strange war party. Conan faces off against some strong Aesir soldiers, as well as the colorful-yet-foolhardy berserker Thorgeir and the powerful witch Olva. Being caught in the middle of a blood feud between Cimmerian and Aesir chiefs is bad enough, but things get much worse when Olva summons the demonic Skrae to hunt down Conan and his secretive ward. Richard Corben's flashback sequences-featuring Conan's grandfather, Connacht-take a surprising turn when they dovetail into the present for an exciting cliffhanger! Cover by Frank Cho.

A child that Conan's grandfather saved from death many years ago-now an old man-seeks to return the favor, but can he get to Conan and Caollan before Horsa's warriors capture their Cimmerian prey? And what good is an old man against Aesir soldiers and the vicious witch Olva? Thorgeir the Berserker gets his second round with Conan, and Caollan shows just how tough and wily a Cimmerian woman can be in battle-even when outnumbered. Richard Corben contributes stunning flashback scenes featuring Connacht, Conan's grandfather. In this issue, Corben brings us to a dark, seemingly hopeless time in the older Cimmerian's life, when he was betrayed and enslaved.

(W) Alan Moore Alan Moore's only novel, now available in paperback, with an introduction by Neil Gaiman, a signature of full-color plates by José Villarrubia, and a cover design by Chip Kidd! In a story full of lust, madness, and ecstasy, we meet twelve distinctive characters that lived in the same region of central England over the span of six thousand years. Their narratives are woven together in patterns of recurring events, strange traditions and uncanny visions. First, a cave-boy loses his mother, falls in love and learns a deadly lesson. He is followed by an extraordinary cast of characters: a murderess who impersonates her victim, a Roman emissary who realizes the bitter truth about the Empire, a crippled nun who is healed miraculously by a disturbing apparition, two witches, lovers, who burn at the stake, and many more. Through each tale, Moore travels through history blending truth and conjecture, in a novel that is dazzling, moving, sometimes tragic, but always mesmerizing.
