Alien Earth
FEAR takes new forms...

When the mysterious deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot crash-lands on Earth, “Wendy” (Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat in FX’s Alien: Earth.

In the year 2120, the Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold. In this Corporate Era, cyborgs (humans with both biological and artificial parts) and synthetics (humanoid robots with artificial intelligence) exist alongside humans. But the game is changed when the wunderkind Founder and CEO of Prodigy Corporation unlocks a new technological advancement: hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness). The first hybrid prototype named “Wendy” marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani’s spaceship collides into Prodigy City, “Wendy” and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.

Jack Kirby: The Man Who Dreamt the Impossible

The Man Who Dreamt the Impossible
Writer Mário Freitas and artist Lucas Pereira team up to pay tribute to the Jack Kirby legacy with a fictionalized tribute to the comics icon in the upcoming The Man Who Dreamt the Impossible. This treasury edition one-shot will hit shelves in August from Image Comics and is a must-read for any fan of pop culture history.

“This book is huge. In format. In scope. In ambition. Just like Jack did. But this is not a biography. It is more of a classic 'what if?' scenario: what if Jack Kirby had lived well beyond the age of 76? What if he had survived his Roz; if he had spent his last years in a care home, reunited with his old creative pals from the days of the ‘House of Ideas’ (a term so well spread by propaganda, as if American comics hadn't been a house of ideas since the days of McCay, King, or Herriman)," said Freitas. "It is, above all, a narrative corollary to the great strengths of Kirby's career: the complexity of human relations and the relentless pursuit of the impossible that lies hidden in the Cosmos. But different. Original. Just like Jack did.”
