MAN WITH THE SCREAMING BRAIN #1 (OF 6)
BRUCE CAMPBELL (W), DAVID GOODMAN (W), RICK REMENDER (P/cover), 
HILARY BARTA (I/cover), and HUMBERTO RAMOS (Alt. Cover)
On sale May 11, FC, 32pg, $2.99
B-movie megastar Bruce Campbell, star of Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, Bubba Ho-Tep, 
and The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., comes to comics with this adaptation of his 
upcoming feature film. Campbell co-wrote the film with David Goodman, as well as 
directing and starring in it. Working directly from Campbell’s  script, Hilary Barta (Alan 
Moore’s Tomorrow Stories) and Rick Remender (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) present 
this “director’s cut” version of the film before the film itself even hits the theaters. Man 
with the Screaming Brain tells the story of a wealthy American businessman determined 
to exploit the crippled economy of a former Soviet state now torn between communist 
roots and capitalist greed. Campbell’s character  hits on the wrong gypsy girl and lands in 
the grip of a mad scientist determined to get rich off a twisted brain-transplant scheme 
worthy of Dr. Frankenstein. This is the version of the script that Campbell wanted to 
shoot before budgetary constraints forced them to scale back his vision, that original 
vision is laid out here. Artists Hilary Barta and Rick Remender offer a darkly cartoony 
collaboration in a fast-paced, uncompromising horror romp.
• Series will feature alternate covers by Humberto Ramos, Mike Mignola, and others!

most popular stories, “The Tower of the Elephant.”

very well be his crowning achievement. Cary Nord captures the essence of Howard’s 
vision, with a respectful nod to the legendary Conan art created by Frank Frazetta. 
Together, Busiek and Nord have truly earned this award.” Broken Frontier on awarding

P. CRAIG RUSSELL (W/A)
On sale May 11, FC, 32pg, $2.99
For once, it’s not Conan doing the beheading—and he doesn’t like it.
Conan manages to play everyone into the positions he needs them in order to steal the 
coveted jewels, but he’s still victim to the mystical fortress in which they’re contained, 
and the primitive thugs who worship the dead oracle watching over the Teeth of Gwahlur. 
P. Craig Russell has proved himself not only one of the greatest fantasy artists in the 
history of comics, from his early work on Elric through collaborations with Neil Gaiman, 
and the only man to make a reputation adapting stories from other media, including his 
award-winning Ring of the Nibelung. His adaptation of Howard is a real masterpiece, as 
inventive and intricate as anything he’s done to date.

MIKE KENNEDY (W) and ROGER ROBINSON (A)
On sale June 29, SC, 96pg, FC, 5" x 7", $6.95
The new world was an unspoiled frontier perfect for colonization, a virtual paradise of 
boundless beauty and limitless resources, untouched by human hands...but not untouched, 
as the unsuspecting colonists soon discovered. Now marooned on a planet infested with 
the deadliest Alien species ever encountered, the colonists learn firsthand the Law of the 
Jungle: adapt or become extinct. And a little helping hand couldn’t hurt, inexplicably 
provided by the selfsame Predators who destroyed the colonists’ ship and made them 
prisoners in paradise. Are these extraterrestrial hunters actually showing sympathy for the 
humans’ plight, or do they have something even more monstrous in mind?
• Following the events of 2004’s Thrill of the Hunt, Alien vs. Predator 2: Civilized Beasts

TOO MUCH COFFEE MAN: HOW TO BE HAPPY TPB
SHANNON WHEELER (W/A) 
On sale June 15, SC, 144pg, b&w, 7" x 7 1/4", $12.95
Too Much Coffee Man has been percolating in the comics underground for years now, 
and like everything else that was once “alternative,” he’s sold out, been used by the man 
(as an advertising tool for Hewlitt Packard and Converse, among others), and is now 
middle-aged, depressed, broke, and cynical. Who better to write a book, then, called How 
to be Happy? In this, Shannon Wheeler’s most timely and funniest book to date, the 
hyper-maniacal, coffee-cup-headed anti-hero laments the state of American democracy, 
global warming, living under the confusing cloud of terrorist threats, sexual politics, 
debilitating personal neuroses, and all sorts of other really fun and lighthearted topics!  
Combining his signature formula of hilarious art, absurd but insightful observations, and 
bold humor, with his quickly deteriorating hope for humanity, Wheeler has crafted a 
comics collection custom made for the disaffected and disenfranchised. 
• Too Much Coffee Man is the star of a long-running comic strip featured in alternative 
weekly newspapers in cities across the country including Atlanta, Austin, Spokane, 
Eugene, and more.

KAZUO KOIKE (W) and GOSEKI KOJIMA (A)
On sale June 8, SC, 304pg, b&w, 4" x 6", $9.95
The stoic bushido world of Samurai Executioner is one full of flying, disembodied heads, 
and odd happenings. And this volume is no exception. There are always stories of crimes 
and ensuing punishment, and plenty of squirting blood, but this volume promises a story 
that will fascinate and produce a few grins. 
	A mysterious woman, with a turtle-like demon tattooed on her back and the ability 
to swim like no other, is stealing weapons of men around Edo. It’s scarring egos and 
causing lots of problems. Of course, Asa has the answer to the mystery. And in a surprise 
turn, a samurai cop whom we’ve met before finally captures the woman, and does so in a 
rather erotic way.
• Never before published in America, Samurai Executioner was the companion to one of

Described as “Japan’s version of Garfield, Heathcliff, and Krazy Kat all rolled into one,” 
Makoto Kobayashi’s What’s Michael? combines true-to-life feline behavior every cat-
lover (and hater!) will recognize along with off-the-wall trips into the realms of the 
fantastic (vampires?) and the ridiculous (cat high school?!). Whether unlocking the 
mysteries of where cats sleep or analyzing the structure of the cat pecking order, the 
answers always come with loads of laughter!
