PARTING WAYS: THE NEAR-LIFE EXPERIENCES OF PETER ORBACH
by Andrew Foley, Scott Mooney, And Nick Craine

Peter Orbach wants to live. It's too bad he didn't realize this earlier; it won't do him much good now that he's in Hell...

Peter isn't the first person to believe he shouldn't be damned, but he may be the first that's objectively correct. Somehow, his soulless body still lives...and from all appearances, it's doing great without him...

Written by Andrew Foley (Jeremiah: The Last Empire), with Art by Scott Mooney (Diaries of a Moon-Man) and Nick Craine (X-Statix), PARTING WAYS follows one man's journey down two separate paths.

Look for the Black and White, 152-page PARTING WAYS (MAY052941) in July at a suggested retail price of $12.99; For art and more information please visit:

CHOCOLATE THUNDER
by The Love Brothers

KEVIN KING, a government agent presumed dad, returns to his city of origin and finds a barren wasteland of drugs, poverty and crime. Using the skills he learned as a government operative, he takes on the persona of a soulful street avenger. The local graffiti artists pay tribute to him in their murals. They call him CHOCOLATE THUNDER.

Old school ‘70s action collides with hip-hop attitude in this brutal, funny and action packed Blaxploitation Epic. Employing their encyclopedic knowledge of ‘70s Blaxploitation films, the Love Brothers have crafted the ultimate tribute to the genre.

THE LOVE BROTHERS (Jeremy, Maurice and Robert) started Gettosake out of their homes, while working full time jobs. Founded in 1998, they soon expanded into animation. In less than five years, Gettosake has grown into a full fledged illustration and animation studio with a wide array of projects in development. All self taught artists and animators, the Love Brothers are living their dream, creating works of visual art featuring diverse characters of all races.

Look for the Black and White, 200 page CHOCOLATE THUNDER (MAY052936) in July at a suggested retail price of $17.99; For art and more information please visit:
