SDCC DEBUTS
TITLE: 7 HOLES FOR AIR
DESCRIPTION: Bill Paxton & Arcana Comics presents 7
Holes for Air. Bob Rourke is the kind of man they don't make anymore.
He's a tough son of a b****: A fifty-year-old steelworker who smokes,
drinks, and never complains, even when he's in pain. After a persistent
headache sends him to a doctor for the first time in his life, Bob
learns he's facing the end. With disease ravaging his body, Bob soldiers
on at home, at work and in an alternate Spaghetti Western reality in
which his real-life antagonists become actual villains. Now Bob will
stare down death the only way he knows how - with grit and determination
- as he struggles against the ghosts of his past and the desire to
leave something behind for his wife and daughter.
NOTE: BILL PAXTON will be signing at the Arcana Booth, 2415,
on Thursday during SDCC from
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm!
TITLE: THE GLOOM
DESCRIPTION: MTV Comics and Arcana Studio present THE
GLOOM. Once called a 'Mel Brooks movie of a comic' by COMICS
INTERNATIONAL, acclaimed creators Tony Lee (Doctor Who) & Dan
Boultwood (It Came!) return to the hero that brought them together! In
1940's Manhattan he's the only vigilante blocking the Vermillion and his
N@zi allies from their plan
to rule the world with ATOMIC ZEPPELINS! No pulp hero is safe from
parody, in the comic series that once had the review 'Buy this book -
sell a kidney if you have to!'
NOTE: Tony Lee, writer of many of IDW's Doctor Who books and others will be signing during SDCC.
TITLE: THE DEVIL IS DUE IN DREARY
DESCRIPTION: Jack and Tino, two strangers with a
questionable past arrive in the reclusive town of Dreary where they
unknowingly fulfill a prophecy that the town believes will precede the
coming of the apocalypse. They are caught up in a whirlwind of judgment
and paranoia, and it's a race against time to escape with their lives.
The Devil is Due in Dreary is a music rich ride through the folklore of
the old west. With rattling desert bones, pompadours, classic cars, and
pearl handled pistols, it's an action packed rockabilly take on the
classic western.
NOTE: David Parkin and Daryl Freimark will be signing during the convention.

trusted officer of the Horde, a brutal syndicate. As an angry orphan, he

Perez, we will be debuting the regular edition of the book, featuring
