(W) Francis Takenaga (A) Roy Martinez Something wicked this way comes... Famous literary words from a book about evil. The Book of Wicked is evil. Its very source. Its lifeblood. Those who would court its sweet temptations or seek to gain its favor are legion, and they are not satisfied merely stalking the shaded veils of night. They walk among us. They might be our teachers. Our police. Our politicians. Even our most beloved. Yet the bond they share is as universal as death itself: They are all predators of the innocent. They are the Wicked. Nathanial Ellstings was born with the Forgiving. The only power in all creation that can snatch a soul away from the evil that consumes it. And for that reason, he is a man on the run, having dedicated his life to shifting the balance back towards the light and saving the Wicked from themselves... So come, take a step into the dark side with the most ambitious horror title in years. Conceived and worded by the devilish mind of Francis (Wetworks) Takenaga and lavishly illustrated by Roy (Loner, Aria) Martinez, THE WICKED promises to be a psycho-dramatic rollercoaster ride of the best X-Files derailed by the palpable evil of the Exorcist...and then some!

An Image Comic (W) Francis Takenaga (A) Roy Martinez (C) Haberlin Studios From crowded metropolitan jungles to the Old World of the Big Easy, Nathan and Wendy, accompanied by Cristof, find themselves transported to a hidden, darker side of New Orleans. Voodoo superstition, they soon realize, is something a bit more dangerous than mere belief. New Orleans is "Old World" for a reason. The Wicked run rampant through her streets and have seen to it that things are as they want them. But nothing could have prepared them for the horrors they unearth at the ancient Laramie Plantation. Buried in rustic charm and a history that harken to the pre-Civil War era, the Laramie line has all but come to a tragic end. The only remaining heir: the beautiful Lady Carolyn, recently accused of having some hand in the alarming number of disappearances in the area. At a tearful, desperate request, the newly formed trio begin to delve into Carolyn's plight. They don't get far, however, when it is soon discovered that Kaliveult himself has learned of Nathan's whereabouts and is somewhere in the city. FC, 32pg Cover price $2.95.

(W) Francis Takenaga (A) Roy Martinez (C) Haberlin Studios Haiti. Seen by the eyes of the west as a foreign land of mysticism and the occult... The vodoun have been ingrained in the Haitians' culture since its inception, and the reverence and sheer terror of the "Witchdoctor's" power is as strong today as it was then. A resurrection of particularly heinous "zombie" activity is a telltale sign of a powerful Wicked coming to surface. The mission takes on a far more personal note as Wendy discovers that The Wicked in question is the very same who once held her very soul captive to do its bidding. A slight departure from sheer "demon stalking," this episode of the ongoing horror series, The Wicked, promises to be a psychological thrill-ride that delves into the lives and circumstances that brought Nathan and Wendy together. The Wicked continues to whet the appetites of its fans and critics alike. This issue is no exception. FC, 32pg Cover price $2.95.
