Says 1B in lower left hand corner. Written by Steven Grant. Art and Covers by Philip Xavier. The master of crime comics, Steven Grant, comes to Avatar to unleash his most haunting work yet! Human beings are a merger of body and soul, but the two don't die at the same rate. Sometimes, one outlives the other. When a soul outlives its body, we call it a ghost. We have no word for what happens when a body outlives its soul. But the Hebrew Qabalists did. That word is "qelipoth": meaning, literally, the husks of the dead. They're dangerous creatures, once men but now without souls, consumed by their own emptiness and hunger and hating 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 he discovers Qelipoth not only exist, but they are everywhere. And now they want him dead. Punctuated with bloody staccato action and underscored by a puckish world view, Mortal Souls blends the rhythms of horror comics and crime comics. And it's going places neither crime nor horror comics have ever been before. 32 pages, B&W. Mature Readers. Cover price $3.50.

Says 2A in lower right hand corner. Written by Steven Grant. Art and Covers by Philip Xavier. Steven Grant's horrific crime masterpiece continues. The dead run the world -- and they hate us! We can't tell them apart from the living but police detective Eric Sharpe can, ever since he got "the sight," and he's convinced they're not real and he's gone insane. And he killed the only woman who could change his mind. Fortunately, her ghost is haunting him. Unfortunately, her presence has made Sharpe's grip on reality that much more tenuous. Will he listen to her and learn the true history of the world before the husks of the dead tear him apart? Praise for Steven Grant comes from no less a maestro than Warren Ellis who says, "Lots of people can write stories that tug at your heart or make you smile. Only Steven Grant can write stories that punch you in the face and steal your keys. He remains the best crime writer in comics." 32 pages, B&W. Mature Readers. Cover price $3.50.

In fact, Sharpe's own partner is defending Traduce to the death and now Eric must decide if he is willing to cut a swath of death through the living in order to eliminate the dead! Along with French superstar artist Phil Xavier, Steven Grant is continuing to push the envelope of the genre...and you don't want to miss this explosive conclusion! 32 pages, B&W. Mature Readers.
