IGNITION CITY VOLUME 1

Written by Warren Ellis, art by Gianluca Pagliarani, covers by Pagliarani and Felipe Massafera.

Where did the space heroes go to die? A retropunk “future of the past” where spaceships still belched smoke and arguments were still settled with laser pistols. Grounded space pilot Mary Raven has come to the interzone settlement in the middle of Ignition City, Earth’s last spaceport, to recover the effects of her dead father‚or so people think. Mary really wants to know how he died, and who did it. Mary Raven is out to spoil a great many people’s days. Today might be her last day on Earth, trapped on the last spaceport where no-one cares about murder and the only real currency is fear. She has her dead father’s raygun, and that’s enough for space hero turned arms dealer Lightning Bowman to want her dead. But she also has her dead father’s diary. And when she finds out something no-one else in the settlement knows… they’ll want her dead for that, too! This full-color volume collects all five issues of the sci-fi epic with a cover gallery full of design sketches, ray-gun fights and giant metal machines! The Ignition City collected volume is available in a standard Trade Paperback with a painted cover by Felipe Massafera, a Special Edition Hardcover featuring an exclusive cover by Gianluca Pagliarani that is limited to 2,000 units, and a special Dual Signed Hardcover featuring a new cover by Pagliarani and is signed by both writer Warren Ellis and artist Pagliarani that is limited to 400 copies.

Before Gravel can fully gain acceptance within their ranks, the Major Seven have two tasks for him. The first, to reform the Minor Seven, whom he personally crushed with his own hands. The second, to uncover the murderer within the Major Seven who killed one of their own, the woman whose place Gravel will fill if he completes his inaugural assignments. Trouble is, the six remaining members of the Major Seven are just like the Minor Seven, a pack of bloody liars. And before he’s done, the seasoned Combat Magician will make it very clear to the overseers of Britain’s occult hierarchy that a penance, and a price, is not only his burden to endure.

FREAKANGELS VOL 3 TPB

Written by Warren Ellis, art and cover by Paul Duffield.

Volume Three of award-winning author Warren Ellis’ ongoing web comic, Freakangels, is here! This installment collects the entire third arc of the post-apocalyptic saga into 144 gorgeous, full-color pages. Twenty-three years ago, twelve strange children were born in England at exactly the same moment. Six years later, the world ended. Today, eleven strange 23-year-olds are living in and defending Whitechapel, maybe the last real settlement in flooded London. They’ve made a new friend, and together they successfully defended their home from raiders–but the post-apocalyptic drowned London that the eleven Freakangels survive in is never a safe place, and never surrounded by friends. In Freakangels: Volume Three, the FreakAngels begin to address how to build their community while a serial killer stalks in their midst. Everything almost comes crashing down around them as one of their own breaks their most valued rule. Ellis’ ongoing story of a flooded London is beautifully illustrated in jaw-dropping detail by Paul Duffield, and every page is as much a work of art as it is a compelling and multi-layered story.

144 pages, $19.99 (Hardcover, limited to 2,000 copies, $27.99; signed hardcover, $39.99).
