A WORLD WITHOUT TRAGEDY — IF YOU HAVE THE CASH

New Image Comics mini-series COMEBACK explores mortality

Press release

In the world of COMEBACK by Ed Brisson and Michael Walsh, the new mini-series coming from Image Comics/Shadowline in November, death isn’t necessarily inescapable.

The secret organization Reconnect sends agents back in time to rescue people moments before their untimely deaths, reversing tragedy and reuniting lost loved ones with their families. Mark is one of these agents, and despite the seeming good of what he’s doing, he discovers there is a dark side to saving the dead.

"Mark does this job because it’s fairly easy and pays well. Although it’s illegal, he justifies it to himself because he’s helping people," said writer Brisson. "He’s pushed to do some things that go counter to his own beliefs and is stuck with the moral dilemma of breaking his own code of ethics or dying."

Dredd 3D “Legendary” Trailer

Dredd 3D “Legendary” Trailer!

UPDATE: The trailer is back up!

For those of you who have endured the painful Sly Stallone version of Judge Dredd, the time has finally come to purge those memories.

Written by 28 Days Later‘s Alex Garland and directed by Pete Travis, Dredd 3D stars Karl Urban (Star Trek) and Olivia Thirlby (Juno). Rest assured that Karl Urban never takes off his helmet in the film – not once. And although the big shoulder eagles are missing from their uniforms, I’m confident that the Judges in this film will be just like their counterparts from the printed pages of 2000AD.
