RED GOD RISING
Although she grew up in America, gifted artist Isla Mackintosh is a Scot at heart. Both of her parents were born in Glasgow, and 25 years ago her older sister Lauren vanished during a visit to the land of her ancestry. Now, Isla is following in her sister's footsteps, hoping to discover the truth behind her disappearance.
The secret she's about to unearth, however, is far older and more dangerous than she ever could have guessed.
Something has been waiting for Isla, deep beneath the moors. A pagan demigod has been trapped there for millennia, caged inside the bones of ancient gods. He smells of the blood of a thousand enemies and the sweat of countless lovers. His name is Thorn, and Isla's art is the key to his freedom.

In the arctic wilderness of post-apocalyptic America, death comes in many forms - but none is worse than the terrifying plague that freezes its victims from the inside out. They call it frostbite, and it is slowly, inexorably infecting the struggling remnants of humanity. Frostbite has no vaccine, no immunity, and no cure.
Until now.
In snowbound Mexico City, Dr. Henry Bonham and his daughter, Victoria, have found the key to destroying the disease. In order to make their theoretical cure a reality, however, they have to travel 2,000 treacherous miles to a secret government installation on Alcatraz Island.
Enter Keaton, captain of the cross-country cargo hauler Icebreaker, and her hard-bitten mercenary crew. They've spent years learning how to survive on the ice, but they've never before gone on a run with such high stakes - or with such determined enemies.
Will these unlikely saviors make it across the frozen wasteland, defeat the relentless forces gunning for their lives, and bring warmth to the world? Or will frostbite continue to consume all life in its icy jaws?

FATHER FIGURE
Once a garden-variety rebel without a clue, Reggie Riot found a new lust for life after losing his arm in a severe art attack. Now, with living paint serving as his prosthetic, he's turning visions into reality as the new leader of a top-secret organization known as the Art Operatives.
This specialized crew of culture warriors has sworn to protect the world's masterpieces by any means necessary - including pulling them straight through the fourth wall and into full-blooded life.
Reggie and his motley band, however, are only the tattered remains of a much larger force - one led by his high-achieving mother, who disappeared into thin air along with nearly all of her colleagues some months ago.
Enter Danny Doll, Reggie's long-lost dad and the former head of Art Ops. Doll was the enfant terrible of New York's Pop Art/Op Art scene - until an unspeakable incident sent him down a darker and more dangerous path. Now Doll has returned, ready to reconnect with his son. But is he moving back towards the light - or preparing to plunge the world into a permanent midnight?

From writer Shaun Simon (co-author of THE TRUE LIVES OF THE FABULOUS KILLJOYS with My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way) and artists Michael Allred (co-creator of iZOMBIE) and Matt Brundage (THE SPIRIT: THE NEW ADVENTURES) comes ART OPS VOL. 1: HOW TO START A RIOT.
Reggie Riot is no one's idea of a cultural savior. The latchkey child of a busy single mother, he's grown up to be a resentful slacker whose idea of high culture is getting stoned and admiring the graffiti in the alley where he scores his weed.
His mother, however, is not your average working parent. She's the head of a secret organization called Art Ops, whose mission is protecting the artistic treasures of the world - which have a lot more life in them than a casual observer might realize.
Reggie has always shunned his mom's high-culture scene, but a devastating encounter with the shadowy forces menacing the world's masterpieces has left him with a permanent expression of the chaotic power of art flowing through his veins.
So when Art Ops suddenly vanishes without a trace, leaving its final rescue - LA GIOCONDA, the Mona Lisa herself - out in the cold, it's up to Reggie and his motley crew (including a masked super-powered operative who writes sitcom scripts on spec, a girls-just-wanna-have-fun '80s music video icon, and a suburban clerk from a mall-punk clothing chain) to come to the rescue.
But do they have what it takes to stand up to the dark side of human creativity?
Collecting issues #1-5 of the ongoing VERTIGO series and featuring a special sketchbook section from Allred and Brundage.
