PILOT SEASON: HARDCORE #1
Story by: Robert Kirkman
Art By: Brian Stelfreeze
Cover By: Marc Silvestri
From the creative minds of Image partners Robert Kirkman & Marc Silvestri! Once the hard core is shot into the back of your neck, an assassin's brain waves can be transmitted into your body--circumventing your brain functions--taking complete control of your body. When assassins use this technology--your killer can be anyone; your barber, your neighbor or your wife. They are the best assassins in the world--but what happens when one of their own turns against them? Who can you trust when your enemy can change his appearance as easy as someone changes a shirt?

art / cover FIONA STAPLES
BKV’s and FIONA STAPLES’ controversial epic continues! Stranded on a mystical alien world, new parents Marko and Alana encounter their greatest fear.

Dancer. Even though it feels like a Black Widow clone I liked EDMONDSON Activity so I am willing to give it a try.

[Punchy]

Saga

[GLX]

Dancer.

[BlueStreak]

I will go with Dancer, even though both it and Saga were pretty good.

Having only read one book by Edmondson and thoroughly not enjoying it, I'm going to assume all those votes are for Nic Klein because Nic Klein is awesome.

[S.F. Jude Terror]

Pshaw, those books are all too mainstream for me. Don't you have anything more indie?

You didn't enjoy Who is Jake Ellis? Philistine.

Edmondson is really good when he is writing at image. The work he has done for DC has been very poor.

Haven't read it. The name of the one I read was Olympus. Wicked incoherent and boring.

To be honest, I don't think any of those choices are listed under "Independents" on the Midtown site.

Eat your own shit. I have totes made an effort to deliver a balanced slate of nominees each week.

I'll try to hunt down a copy of Who is Jake Ellis. Much more enjoyable.

If I like Dancer I'll check it out on Comixology.

I voted for Avengers.
