THE CROW: FLESH & BLOOD TPB JAMES VANCE (W) and ALEX MALEEV (A) On sale July 28, SC, 96pg, b&w, 6" x 9", $9.95 One of the most haunting and compelling comics stories ever told has been resurrected by Dark Horse. People once believed that when a person dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead although sometimes, something so terrible happens that a sadness is carried with it and the soul cannot rest. Sometimes—just sometimes—the crow can bring that soul back to make the wrong things right. In the midst of a rural land-rights struggle, federal conservation officer Iris Shaw is murdered in a bombing by a rag-tag band of right-wing activists. Little do her killers know that Iris wasn't their only victim and now, with the help of the Crow, Iris must exact vengeance not only for her own death but also that of her unborn baby. Raised from her grave and armed with cold-blooded hatred and a few deadly weapons, Iris hunts down her killers one by one. But if exacting ultimate pain is the goal, when does vengeance cross the line to brutality? And what is the price to the soul? • Two of modern comics' hottest storytellers team up to recount the story of the first-ever female Crow!

These three-fingered reptilians are mortal enemies of Chewbacca's kind, and none more so than the bounty hunter, Bossk. Bossk is allied with fellow bounty hunter Boba Fett, but his sights are set on two main targets—Chewie and Han Solo. There's a history of bad blood between them. Gentle Giant Studio's ongoing program of collectible mini-busts has selected some of the most interesting and seldom-seen characters from the Star Wars universe. This sculpture is no exception.

IDENTITY CRISIS is not a crossover in the traditional sense, but its effects will be reflected throughout the DCU titles. Its repercussions are so profound, so encompassing, IDENTITY CRISIS already is inspiring creative talent to incorporate direct effects as well as subtle nuances into upcoming storylines. It will have an impact on how the DCU is perceived both immediately and in the future. IDENTITY CRISIS is a 7-issue DCU limited series by New York Times best- selling author Brad Meltzer (The Zero Game, GREEN ARROW: ARCHER'S QUEST), illustrated by the JSA and HAWKMAN team of Rags Morales & Michael Bair, with covers by Aspen Studios' Michael Turner (SUPERMAN/BATMAN). By the end of June's issue #1, you'll realize you're seeing the DCU from a whole new perspective. You'll suspect a most dangerous secret held by the members of the JLA — a secret they'll fight to keep, a secret they're willing to sacrifice themselves for. But this sacrifice, this victim seems almost too much for them to bear. You'll know enough to hold your breath until issue #2 to see who may be the next victim — and what other secrets may be revealed. Meltzer, a gifted suspense storyteller known as much for his thorough research as for his arresting plots, melds his uncanny knack for dramatic pacing with his passionate knowledge of DCU heroes and their histories. Morales, always a master craftsman, delivers on a grand scale, balancing action-packed sequences with evocative moments of revealing characterization. Bair, with his dramatic inking style, brings an added dynamism to Morales' detailed pencils. Turner, one of the most popular artists of our time, adds compelling cover art that blends his modern artistic sense with a fan's reverence for these classic characters… and their fates.

THE WITCHING "THE WITCHING has such sharp humor and such beguiling characters, at first you don't even notice the mounting sense of menace. Excellent stuff." — Mike Carey, writer of LUCIFER, HELLBLAZER, and MY FAITH IN FRANKIE Black magic. Occult sex rites. Gothic death rock. Cults, conspiracies and car crashes. What? Like those are bad things? Actually, they're all part of the mix in THE WITCHING, a new ongoing series from VERTIGO that reinvents the ancient Triple Goddess archetype for our maniacal new millennium. Sex, death and a weird stuffed kitty collide in THE WITCHING, written by Jonathan Vankin (VERTIGO POP: TOKYO, THE BIG BOOK OF GRIMM) with pencils by talented newcomer Leigh Gallagher, inks by Ron Randall and intriguing cover art by painter Tara McPherson (THE SANDMAN PRESENTS: THESSALY — WITCH FOR HIRE). Forget everything you thought you knew about witchcraft. Three hot new witches — so new that some of them haven't figured out yet that they are witches — become mysteriously united…and the American melting pot will never be the same. THE WITCHING peels back the wet T-shirt of America and exposes the magic beneath the surface of our collective dream. It's the story of Elsa Grimston, a witch who's fed up with the modern world. Her one wish is to escape planet Earth and relax in her cozy little home — on the dark side of the moon. But before Elsa can settle down deep in a crater named after her father, she's forced to undergo one last mission. She's been ordered by one of VERTIGO's most popular characters — someone who doesn't take "no" for an answer — to perform a task so severe on a global scale that one witch couldn't possibly do it alone. Elsa's only hope is to recruit two other witches to create a trinity of power. The quest takes her to the stuffy suburbs of Dallas, Texas, where she finds Sook, a shy Korean teenager with a hidden wild streak. Elsa also enlists Kara, a budding young pop star known as the "Goth Britney Spears," whose overbearing stage mother and superstar boyfriend are getting more than a little on her nerves. Will The Three Witches unite to form a unique triad for the 21st century, or kill one another in the process? Don't miss a free 8-page preview of THE WITCHING in FABLES #26, shipping on June 9.

Five extraordinary people with seemingly nothing in common share the bond of surviving a cataclysmic event. In a world devoid of superheroes, they will come together and discover that all they know has been a lie — that the world we live in is not the one we believe it to be. To survive they must unite and face the true masters of our universe. It's a world where literally anything can happen, and probably will — as if living on borrowed time wasn't enough!

Although the approaches and techniques used in each story are varied, this is a unified collection. These are stories about relationships. Herpich is fascinated with the deforming consequences of evaded responsibility and lax discipline that seem inherent in human interaction. The centerpieces of the book, "Gongwanadon 1" and "Gongwanadon 2," come from a series of experiments by the author, focusing on spontaneity, risk, and intuition. The results are consistently inventive, morally aggressive, and, above all, graphically stunning.

The overwhelming paparazzi alone take her to the brink of insanity, but cult worshippers, animal sacrifices, and the inability to find even a regular date isolates her from the rest of the world. Movie stars and fellow rock stars are afraid of her, shadowed by her iconic image, and strange powers, further drowning her in a loneliness that drives her to drugs and alcohol. Until one day, while promoting her new music CD, she meets Connie Severin a.k.a. Kinesis, a fellow super-freak, who's last real relationship was with a self-destructive, drug addicted vampire. Together they create Vespers, a support group for the inhuman, the superhero, and the supernatural.

In Mortal Souls, Grant unleashes his most haunting work yet! Hebrew Qabalists have a word for what occurs when a body outlives its soul. That word is "Qelipoth," which translates, literally, the 'husks of the dead.' They're dangerous creatures, once men but now without souls, consumed by their own emptiness and hunger and despising the living for the mere condition of being completely alive. Pursuing an unpredictable killer, police detective Eric Sharpe watches his life turn into a waking nightmare as he gains "the sight" and soon discovers Qelipoth not only exist, but they are everywhere. And now they want him dead! Punctuated with bloody staccato action and underscored by a punkish world view, Mortal Souls — scribed by Grant with art by Phil (Heavy Metal, Frank Frazetta Illustrated) Xavier — goes places neither crime nor horror comics have ever been before. (STAR17698) "Only Steven Grant can write stories that punch you in the face and steal your keys.
