200 GN

(W) Jennifer Brody (A) Jules Rivera

It's Eva Thorne's 200th birthday. But it's not a celebration, more like a funeral. Eva lives in a world where the Cure for aging and illness has been discovered and administered to every person on Earth, only there's one big hitch. It turns out that very few people can handle immortality, so they have to take a test on their two hundredth birthday. If they pass, then they get to live forever. But if they fail, they must be euthanized. Eva's not an optimist. In fact, she's pretty sure that she's going to fail. Who wants to live forever if you have to do it alone?

The Alien Legion is the most feared fighting force in the Galarchy-and Nomad Squad is the best, and the worst, of the lot. Comprised of the outcasts, dregs, and idealists from three galaxies, the expendable grunts of Nomad jump into a series of intense missions prompted by everything from attacks by biomechanical religious zealots, orders to eliminate a traitorous legion hero, and the personal whims of a Galarchy bureaucrat. The squad is devastated when three veteran legionnaires die-and another faces an even worse fate in a legion "Mindrobber" machine. Nomad's chemistry is further altered with the addition of Tamara, a cosmic valkyrie who catches Lt. Montroc's attention. Volume 2 features over three hundred story pages and rounds out the first Alien Legion series, including the long-out-of-print A Grey Day to Die graphic novel.

AMAZING BATVARK ONE SHOT #0

(W) Dave Sim (A) Dave Sim (CA) Dave Sim

Don't you ever get tired of obviously contrived cover "come ons" like "Batvark No More!"? Like we would actually allow our #1 (sad to say) intellectual property to just quit being who he is? Of course you don't! That's the driving force behind the modern comic-book field! Contrived and completely unsustainable headline-grabbing reboots and reinventions. So what's new about this one? The giant symbolic Batvark and the tiny little former Batvark on the cover actually appear that way in the comic book! That's what!
