WILD'S END #1 (of 6)

Retail Price: $3.99
Author:  Dan Abnett
Artist: I.N.J. Culbard
Cover Artists: A: I.N.J. Culbard B: David Petersen (Incentive)
WHY WE LOVE IT: We love smart takes on classic science-fiction mythos and who better to take advantage of the iconography of H.G. Wells and War of the Worlds than Dan Abnett, one of comics' most renowned sci-fi writers and one of creators responsible for the groundbreaking run on Guardians of the Galaxy that inspired the upcoming Marvel movie. Paired with I.N.J. Culbard, who has made a name for himself with the critically acclaimed adaptation of  H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness, it's a team perfectly built for the visually impactful adventure stories readers love.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: Inspired by the sci-fi aesthetic of War of the Worlds and the anthropomorphic characters of Blacksad and Mouse Guard, readers will be blown away by Culbard's art while fans of Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, World's End) will fall in love with Clive, Peter, and Gilbert as they try to survive an alien invasion.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: When a rural English community of the 1930s is the victim of an alien invasion, the residents' lives are upended by the harsh realities of life-and-death violence. Led by the town's outsider and retired war veteran, they will have to rally together to uncover the secret of their invaders and ultimately fight back.

WHY WE LOVE IT: The name George Pérez should say it all, but we are beyond excited to work with one of comics' living masters on his own original title. He's worked on great female characters like Wonder Woman and Scarlet Witch, but this, a team of female heroes of his own creation, had us hooked.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: It's a sci-fi adventure story that spans time and space, featuring a team of female heroes that kick butt across the universe. If you like strong female sci-fi characters like Battlestar Galactica's Starbuck, Star Wars' Princess Leia, and Alien's Ripley, you'll find nine reasons to love GEORGE PÉREZ'S SIRENS!
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: As an intergalactic force enslaves planets across the galaxy, the legendary team known only as the Sirens must reunite to save it—but is that even possible when the Sirens themselves don't even remember who they are? And the rest of the universe only remembers them as…villains? A six-issue, bi-monthly miniseries featuring your new favorite comic book team, written and drawn by the master himself, George Pérez (Wonder WomanJLA Vs. Avengers) begins his greatest story yet.

Also available in Spetember from BOOM!'s Archaia imprint will be Jim Henson's The Storyteller's latest series, Witches, a four-issue miniseries from S.M. Vidaurri. You can check out the solicitation text and covers for that below.
