All seven issues of David Lapham's horror masterpiece of Crossed: Family Values are collected here with a large cover gallery! In one terrifying moment, civilization crumbled. An outbreak of insanity swept across the planet, turning millions of people into the homicidal maniacs known as "the Crossed." But from their isolated horse ranch, the Pratt family of North Carolina remain uninfected and defiant. Bonded together as generations of working, living, and learning together, they rely on Joe, the family patriarch, to see them through the apocalypse. But the Pratt family has a deep, dark secret - one that threatens to tear them apart, even under the constant threat of the murderous hordes. See, some men are turned to Crossed, but others... others are just born evil. Eighteen year-old daughter Adaline will soon discover which breed is worse. David Lapham, the critically acclaimed creator of the gritty STRAY BULLETS series, delivers a tale so twisted, so shocking, it more than earns its place next to the original runaway bestseller, CROSSED VOLUME 1, by superstar writer Garth Ennis! Available in softcover and hardcover formats, with illustrated covers by Jacen Burrows (Alan Moore's NEONOMICON) Also available in a special Signed Hardcover by writer David Lapham that is limited to just 1000 copies.

Praying to be saved by a man who can fly will get you killed! From the mind of Warren Ellis, the creator of TRANSMETROPOLITAN and PLANETARY, comes the most horrifying superhero graphic novel you will ever read! What if the arms race of global superpowers did not yield nuclear stockpiles, but rather messianic beings capable of wondrous miracles and - when needed - the ability to unleash the wrath of gods? But when the scientists, generals, and politicians built super-humans to save the planet, no one ever imagined how their heroes would do it - or even if they'd want to. Behold the apocalyptic tomorrow, when supermen kill us all and end the world just because we wanted to be rescued by human-shaped things from beyond Science itself! All five issues of the series are collected here with a cover gallery and available in softcover and hardcover formats, with illustrated covers by Felipe Massafera (Alan Moore's LIGHT OF THY COUNTENANCE)
