Dark Horse Preview: ANGEL & FAITH SEASON 10 #1

Dark Horse continues the story of Angel and Faith in the debut issue of Angel & Faith: Season 10.  The previous comic season ended with Faith leaving London and Angel staying in Magic Town.  I’m guessing the two will meet up again at some point; otherwise, why would the comic be called “Angel & Faith”? Victor Gischler and Will Conrad write and draw this comic, which will be released April 2, for $3.50, and joining them are Michelle Madsen on colors and Scott Fisher on cover art.

Dark Horse Comics Preview: “Blackout” #1

Dark Horse sent over a preview of their upcoming comic Blackout, which will debut March 26.  This comic features the story of Scott Travers and his special suit, which allows him to move around unseen via a parallel dimension.  The problem is that he has no idea where the suit came from, how it works, or where the person who gave it to him went.  Oh, and he’s got people after him.  Typical. I like the look of the Blackout suit; think I’ll give this comic a try.  Check out the preview below. Blackout #1 on sale March 26 for $2.99 Writers: Frank
