CRIMINAL MACABRE: CELL BLOCK 666 #1 (of 4) Steve Niles (W), Nick Stakal (A), Michelle Madsen (C), and Tim Bradstreet (Cover) If good intentions pave the road to hell, then Cal McDonald should just get in the handbasket already and buckle up for the ride. He's no do-gooder¬-not by far-but he does everything he can to keep supernatural forces of evil from harming humans; and it always comes at a great personal expense, taking everything and everyone he's ever owned or cared about. Now he's being set up by the cops and a vengeful D.A. to take the fall for a pile of bad news. There's no way he's getting out of this one without serving some time at the graybar hotel. A little time in lock-up would be like a vacation compared to what Cal's been through lately, but forces both human and monster alike are lining up to make sure Cal's trip to the slammer is the last trip he ever takes.

Steve Niles (W), Nick Stakal (A), Michelle Madsen (C), and Tim Bradstreet (Cover) Caught. Cuffed. Convicted. Cal McDonald has had more tangles with the law in recent years than he can count, but he's never been a truly wanted man until now. Apparently all it takes is one dirty D.A. with a Cal-shaped chip on his shoulder and a horde of L.A.'s finest on his side to frame and sentence a (mostly) innocent man on a series of trumped-up charges. But what happens when the grittiest former cop in the world checks in for a long stay at the Graybar Hotel? And exactly how long do you think Cal will last in the general population before he gets thrown into solitary? Place your bets, boys and ghouls-the odds are stacked against Cal on this game, but don't expect him to fold . FC, 32 pages Cover price $2.99.

Steve Niles (W), Nick Stakal (A), Michelle Madsen (C), and Tim Bradstreet (Cover) What's life like behind bars for a guy framed for the death of the D.A.'s wife? Ask Cal McDonald. He's a guy who knows a thing or two about misery from first-hand experience, but miserable doesn't begin to describe what's ahead for the disgraced private dick whose only friend on the planet is a dead guy. Now Cal's in lockup at the darkest time of his life with no connection to the outside world except through the random contact he makes with other prisoner. Luckily for Cal, it turns out his reputation proceeds him . . . and the reputation of an ex-cop-gone-wrong who runs with ghouls might be just the thing to keep him alive against all odds.

Written by Steve Niles. Art by Nick Stakal and Michelle Madsen. Cover by Tim Bradstreet. Most people will never understand the nightmare of being framed for a friend's murder and sent to prison on trumped-up charges by reckless, power-rabid cops. Cal McDonald isn't like most people, and he never has been. But now, in some of the bleakest moments of his life, the things that make him different from the rest of the world might be the only things capable of keeping his sorry butt out of deeper trouble. Because it turns out that the things that would make most people want to give up and die-the strange, inhuman voices coming from adjacent cells, the mysterious visitors, the unlikely saviors in demonic disguise-are the things that have kept Cal alive long enough to see a way out . . . 32 pages full color. Cover price $2.99.
