Press Release from Image:

A true man without fear strikes this November!

August 28th, 2007 (Berkeley, CA) - This November GROUNDED’s Mark Sable, 2000 AD’s P.J. Holden and industry newcomer David Roth reinvent what it means to be a man without fear with FEARLESS, an all-new full color four-issue miniseries.

“If you’re going to do a superhero book these days you really need to do something unique,” says Mark Sable. “FEARLESS is far from typical. The lead is a literal man without fear, as behind the mask he’s paralyzed with a crippling anxiety disorder, but an anti-fear drug enables him to fight the war on crime. A life of dependency crashes down when his supply runs completely dry. What comes next is the crux of the series.”

Sable is best known for his work on the critically-acclaimed GROUNDED and artist P.J. Holden is revered for his work on 2000 AD, while co-writer David Roth has a background in film and television. However, the itch to work in comics has been a long time coming.

David Roth explains, “This has been an amazing experience. Working with people as talented as Mark and PJ in this new medium has been a creative windfall. From inception to execution, it seems like every idea becomes a possibility, while this unprecedented level of control over the process has been both rewarding and educational. I couldn’t be happier with the results of our collaboration on FEARLESS.”

FEARLESS #1 (SEP071951), a 32-page full color four-issue miniseries with a cover price of $2.99, will be available for order in the September issue of Previews and will go on sale November 7th.

and check out some of the alternative costume designs and rough pages to see how far it has come.

Hope Falls
from the Press Release:

“After five months of online buzz, HOPE FALLS, the five part supernatural thriller by creators Tony Lee and Dan Boultwood is finally available to order in the SEPTEMBER PREVIEWS - SEP073850.

“Already garnering critical acclaim from both reviewers and professionals alike, HOPE FALLS is the tale of Helen, a small town waitress who returns to the town she was murdered in, twenty years after her death.

“But although the four men involved have moved on with their lives, Helen hasn’t aged a day and has a wealth of new powers in her arsenal as she returns for one reason only - vengeance . And, as the body count starts to rise, we discover a shocking secret - Helen is an Angel, free-falling from Heaven in a search for revenge and each one gained is a step towards Hell. She is falling, and only one man, the enigmatic Michael can stop her.

“But as the story progresses, Michael himself discovers that there is more to this than a simple killing - and that this is part of an Angelic conspiracy that goes all the way back to the time of Christ. Can he stop her, and more importantly - should he stop her? And with dark forces siding against her, will Helen even manage to complete the job?

“‘I wanted to write something a little different.’ Explains series creator Tony Lee. ‘I had been writing a lot of spandex or sci-fi, and I wanted something a little bit more cerebral. HOPE FALLS came out of that darkness. It’s not an ‘a to b to c’ type of tale, and the twists start from pretty much the very first scene.’”

A couple interesting, new books from image this week. First the manga-esque Compass. I love the colors of it, bright and cheery, and C.B. has a real fun writing style. should be fun, and has an all ages appeal. I’m not sure what to think of Parade but it is awesome to see someone trying something new with the medium, and a good historic drama, presented solidly is a rough idea to try.
