50 Girls 50

Two years ago, LIBERTY MEADOWS creator Frank Cho and The 'Nam and Jungle Girl writer Doug Murray went in search of an artist to illustrate their all-new 50 GIRLS 50. Today, they're putting the final touches on a four-issue miniseries drawn by 50 GIRLS 50 contest winner and new ELEPHANTMEN artist, Axel Medellin.

Working from a script written by Murray, based off a story conceived by Cho and Murray, Medellin has completed the entire four-issue miniseries, now in the process of being colored by SAVAGE DRAGON and INVINCIBLE colorist Nikos Koutsis. In addition to providing character and world designs, Cho is also illustrating covers for each issue.

"It's been a long time coming, but we're finally in the homestretch with this project," said Cho. "We all know how disappointing it is when something planned as a 1-2-3-4 miniseries doesn't ship monthly, so we wanted to make sure the entire miniseries was complete before offering it for sale. This baby's 100% done, though, and you'll be getting an issue a month from June to September, whether you like it or not."

"We're really pleased that Frank and Doug banked these issues so they could ship uninterrupted over this summer," added Image Comics Publisher Eric Stephenson. "And everyone who's seen Axel's work on ELEPHANTMEN: MAN AND ELEPHANTMAN #1 knows what a great find he is, so it's going to be like getting a double-dose of artwork over the course of this year."

A sexy sci-fi romp set in a far-flung future, 50 GIRLS 50 chronicles the fantastic voyage of the Space Vessel ESS Savannah and her beautiful crew as they fight to escape hostile aliens and exotic worlds, searching for the wormhole that will take them to their ultimate destination: Home.

50 GIRLS 50 (APR110392), a 32-page, full-color comic book priced at $2.99 is available for order in the April issue of Diamond Previews and goes on sale June 1^st.

The New 'Breed

The legendary Jim Starlin is set to conclude his groundbreaking series, 'BREED, and he's doing it at Image. ‘BREED III begins the story's charge to its climactic and pulse-pounding finish, while ‘BREED: BOOK OF GENESIS trade paperback collects the first chapter of Starlin’s long-out of print epic. Both will be released on May 11^th.

Although he has contributed to various titles of multiple genres, Starlin is best known as the master of the cosmic comics, thanks to his work on Captain Marvel, Warlock, Silver Surfer, and The Infinity Gauntlet trilogy. He was also an early proponent of creator-owned comics with his long-running Dreadstar series.

"This, I believe, was the best work I ever did," stated Jim Starlin on the upcoming ‘BREED: BOOK OF GENESIS collection. "I rank the ‘BREED series even over my Thanos and Dreadstar series. It's, quite simply, my favorite creation."

The original ‘BREED was a six-issue miniseries published by the short-lived Bravura Comics imprint during 1994. It was quickly followed by ‘BREED II, and now in ‘BREED III #1, the series’ titular protagonist, Ray Stoner, has to face the fact that he can no longer hide from what he is: a monster. He returns to the mystical city Elsewhere to discover much has changed. He finds himself forced into a struggle with stakes far higher than he feels ready for.

"This is a series I've been waiting more than 10 years to finish off,” Starlin explained. “Be warned, after a good fight at the beginning I sneak in some story, but it's okay – the last three issues are one continuous epic battle. By the way, nearly everything you think you know about 'Breed is incorrect, whether you read the original two series or not."
