Rebel Blood involves Chuck Neville, a forest ranger with a wife and son, who commands Fire Tower #6 deep in the woods. He’s all alone, save for a young female assistant and Danny Whitehead, a poacher he’s had some dealings with.
With his isolated surroundings, he’s had plenty of time to think about his strained marriage and let his imagination run wild.
An ominous call from officer Red comes across his radio one day. Red details the rampant infections and mutations that are showing up in people everywhere. He decides to leave and protect his family. But Chuck soon discovers that the infections aren’t just affecting people – the animals in the forest are also sick.
Rebel Blood, a four issue mini series by Alex Link and Riley Rossmo, arrives from Image Comics in March 2012. A highly infectious disease has turned every living thing into zombies, not just humans, but also the animals too. From rats to wolves, everything seems to have succumbed to the disease.
What can you do when that happens? Just keep your gun loaded and pray the same thing doesn’t happen to you.
The series is written by Alex Link and illustrated by Riley Rossmo, from the critically acclaimed Green Wake series from Image.
Peter Panzerfaust is a new ongoing series by creators Kurtis J. Wiebe and Tyler Jenkins. The pair had previously collaborated on last year’s Snow Angel graphic novel which I found to be a very good read.
They take the fun, magic, and high adventure of Peter Pan and place him firmly in a World War II setting. Having read Kurtis’ previous works, I’m sure this will be a very enjoyable series from Image Comics.

Title: “Fiddler on the Roof”
The Activity follows a group of operatives in an unnamed division of the Intelligence Support Activity of the US Government. These teams focus on more selective, secretive, and high-stakes ops than normal covert ops teams. Given bleeding edge tech, they are the problem solvers and first responders that go in and sometimes even have to clean up the CIA’s mistakes.
The story itself gives us snippets of The Activity’s operations, intelligence gathering, and recruiting actions, but there are large gaps in between. This might sound like it’s a bad story, but it is far from it. The way Nathan Edmondson crafts the story, the reader is given just enough info to follow along without giving too much away. This creates more of a mystery surrounding the events and one which Edmondson can control as he sees fit.
Ted McKeever brings Mondo to Image this January in a three issue mini series.
Catfish’s daily grind of "enhancing" poultry comes to a halt when he is accidentally tripped up by a loose chicken, causing him to fall victim to his own process. What proportions of his that were once human are now beyond anything normal. Add villainous corporate and military big wigs, a roller-skating weapon-toting chick named Kitten Kaboodle, a gang of tattooed babies, and there’s still that enormous beach monster…
And what you have is MONDO, in all its raging glory!
After finishing their critically acclaimed miniseries The Red Wing for Image Comics, Jonathan Hickman and Nick Pitarra are working together once more on a new series – The Manhattan Projects.
