[Comic Book News] Return of the Xenomorphs! Gabriel Hardman to Pen ‘Aliens: Dust to Dust’ at Dark Horse Comics

by Jason Bennett
written by Jason Bennett

“ALIENS: DUST TO DUST” INFESTS COMICS SHOPS THIS SPRING

Master Storyteller Gabriel Hardman Pens a Terrifying Examination of Why We Fear The Xenomorphs

Aliens – Dust to Dust #1 Standard Cover by Gabriel Hardman

For those who grew up on James Cameron’s 1986 blockbuster Aliens, it’s impossible to forget the intensity and terror as Newt and Ripley fought an infestation of xenomorphs and the emotional rollercoaster of the motherly feelings Ripley develops for the terrified little girl.

Aliens – Dust to Dust #1 Variant Cover by Carlos D’Anda

Now, writer and artist Gabriel Hardman (storyboard artist for Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, Logan, Dawn of Planet of the Apes) weaves an Aliens story harkening back to the classic film with the terrifying coming-of-age story Aliens: Dust to Dust at Dark Horse. The spine-tingling variant cover is by artist Carlos D’Anda (Star Wars). Hardman will write and illustrate the miniseries.

“Aliens stories just have to be tension-filled, gut wrenching & scary. And that’s exactly what I plan to do.“–Hardman

In deep space, the Trono colony on the planet LV-871 finds itself under attack by mysterious and deadly creatures of unknown origin. Emergency evacuations are ordered and shuttles are taking off as the massacre sweeps the colony.

All that stands between twelve-year-old Maxon and his mom making it to the safety of the spaceport is a horde of Aliens! You’ll be gripping the edge of your seat as a mother and son fight for their lives against the deadliest monsters in the galaxy.

Aliens: Dust to Dust #1 (of 4) goes on sale April 24, 2018, and is available for preorder at your local comic shop.

Athena Voltaire gets back to her roots with
ATHENA VOLTAIRE PULP TALES

1930s adventuress Athena Voltaire is admittedly inspired by Doc Savage, the Shadow, and other giants of the pulp era, and now she’s starring in her own collection of pulp-style stories. This November, Action Lab Entertainment unleashes Athena Voltaire Pulp Tales—a collection of two-fisted stories that send the aviatrix across the globe and back again!

ATHENA VOLTAIRE PULP TALES – VOLUME 1

Editors: Chris Murrin, Steve Bryant
Artist: Steve Bryant
Cover Artists: Steve Bryant, Jason Millet
320 pgs./ T / BW
$14.99 

Contributors to this volume include Tom King (Batman, Vision), Corinna Bechko & Gabriel Hardman (Invisible Republic), Genevieve Pearson (TBS’ King of the Nerds), Dirk Manning (Nightmare World), and over a dozen more. They take Athena Voltaire around the globe, battling supernatural creatures, power-hungry occultists, and, of course, Nazis. Along the way she rubs elbows with the most famous figures of the 1930s and becomes part of some of the most pivotal moments in history.

“It’s amazing to see the different takes on the character,” said creator Steve Bryant. ”It’s a real pleasure—and challenge—to tackle what each author has come up with.”

According to co-editor and writer Chris Murrin, the book has something for everyone. “While the stories are action-packed in the pulp tradition, each author brought their own influences to the table as well, so there are elements of horror, romance, mystery, suspense, and even some philosophy in the mix,” he said.

In addition to penning one of the stories, Bryant illustrates the entire volume, providing seventeen stunning black and white images, as well as collaborating on the cover with digital painter Jason Millet.

Athena Voltaire launched as part of the Modern Tales family of webcomics in 2002 and was nominated for a Best Digital Comic Eisner Award in 2005. The feature was included in St. Martin’s The Year’s Best Graphic Novels, Comics and Manga (2004 edition), and it has subsequently garnered Manning and Harvey Award nominations as well.

Athena Voltaire Pulp Tales is a 320-page illustrated prose collection, joining the 96-page trade paperback Athena Voltaire and the Volcano Goddess and the 224-page hardcover Athena Voltaire Compendium in the Action Lab library. This will be followed by the ongoing Athena Voltaire comic series, which kicks off in early 2018 with Athena Voltaire and the Sorcerer Pope. With its period setting, rapid-fire action, and strong female lead, the series is sure to appeal to fans of Indiana Jones, the Rocketeer, and Wonder Woman.

ATHENA VOLTAIRE PULP TALES will be available on November 29.
Preorder it with the Diamond item code SEP171036.

Image Comics: ‘THE BELFRY’ – Ascend at Your Own Risk! (2/22)

by Jason Bennett
written by Jason Bennett

the-belfryTHE BELFRY: ASCEND AT YOUR OWN RISK
All-new horror one-shot from Gabriel Hardman coming this February

From Logan storyboard artist and Hugo Award-nominated writer/artist Gabriel Hardman (INVISIBLE REPUBLIC, KINSKI, Star Wars Legacy) comes THE BELFRY, a self-contained one-shot that may just strip you of your humanity.

When an airliner crashes in a remote jungle, everyone walks away unscathed—only to find they can’t escape the lush, brutal world of THE BELFRY.

Gabriel Hardman

Gabriel Hardman

“This is my dark trip into a world that’s a little surreal, a little nihilistic, and all terrifying,” said Hardman. “I wanted to flex some different storytelling muscles, and that led me down the road to eye-gouging violence and naked bat people. But there’s beauty as well in the lush art style I’ve adopted for this story. And naked bat people.”

THE BELFRY (ONE-SHOT) (Diamond code: DEC160668) hits comic book stores Wednesday, February 22nd. The final order cutoff deadline for retailers is Monday, January 30th.
