Mysterious Ways

Mysterious Ways
Mysterious Ways
Crazed serial killers often claim to be doing God’s work, but what if one really was? MYSTERIOUS WAYS, a six-issue miniseries from Image Comics' Top Cow Productions proposes an answer to that disturbing question. This July, video game industry titan Jason Rubin (The Iron Saint) joins forces with artist Tyler Kirkham (Green Lantern Corps, Amazing Spider-Man) to introduce this dark and action-packed thriller that will have you questioning everything you believe.

MYSTERIOUS WAYS takes a number of archetypes from classic crime suspense stories and turns them on their head over the course of the story. Sam, the down-on-his-luck, alcoholic ex-cop is not what he seems. Neither is the sharp-tongued, Gothic bar waitress. Certainly not the by-the-book FBI agent with a perfect arrest record!

"MYSTERIOUS WAYS has been in my head for the better part of a decade, so it's great to see it come to fruition with style," said Rubin. "Tyler and our inker, Sal Regla, are at the top of their game, and I can't thank Top Cow and Image enough for their commitment to bringing out books of the highest quality."

"Jason shows how diverse a story teller he is," added Kirkham. "MYSTERIOUS WAYS is as far from Crash Bandicoot as you could possibly go. It's a sick thrill ride from start to finish!"

Not only will MYSTERIOUS WAYS provide a disturbing new story for horror fans, but beginning the last week of April, readers will also be asked to predict how MYSTERIOUS WAYS plays out -- and most importantly how it ends -- with a contest in which the reader who submits the closest description of the storyline through the website by the day the second issue hits stores will receive every Top Cow comic released over the next 12 months, absolutely free! Participants must submit their entries through Top Cow’s new community Website, The Barn. The winner will be announced after the last issue ships.

MYSTERIOUS WAYS #1 (MAY110428), a 32-page, full-color comic priced at $3.99, will be available for order in the May issue of Diamond Previews and goes on sale July 6th.

Post was originally scheduled for April 25th; no idea why it did not publish as scheduled.

I lied about not knowing why this didn't publish when it was scheduled:

Due to legislation passed by the Republicans, there is no way for you to verify this information, but I'm telling you that Google backed a bill by Sen. Stacey Campfield which prevents children, teachers, and school officials in grades K-8 from using the word "gay" on public school grounds.

Sen. Campfield has his own, darkly personal, reasons for not wanting children to know about homosexuals, but Google is merely trying to oppress certain people from doing certain things, such as accepting sponsored posts and urging the FTC to investigate them as a monopoly.

The hate legislation was passed the weekend of April 25th.

Again, there is no way for you to verify this information. Luckily, there is little hope for Google to file defamation against me, because there is no way for them to verify that it is untrue.

And fuck you, Google.
