Broken Frontier

This summer Viper Comics will present two new series, “Karma Incorporated”, and “The Middleman”, plus an art book showcasing the art of Dead@17's Josh Howard. These projects are unlike anything comic fandom has ever experienced before.

Josh Howard Art Book Volume 1 will showcase tons of all new, never-before-seen art by Josh Howard, creator of Dead@17. Best known for his unique rendition of cute & sexy females, Josh has assembled a brand new collection of school girls, pin up beauties, and punk rock hotties. If you're a fan of Josh or just an admirer of "cute girl" art, you won't want to miss this limited edition volume.

Karma Incorporated, a 3 issue mini-series, is written by David Hopkins (Western Tales of Terror, Dead@17: Rough Cut). The groundbreaking art is marvelously crafted by Tom Kurzanski with wonderful colors by Marlena Hall. Karma Incorporated features a improbable group of con artists, hackers and a retired hitman that decide they can make money by making people miserable. When a previous customer's adulterous wife hires Karma Inc., the lines become crossed and new lessons are learned....payback is hell.

The Middleman, a 4 issue mini-series, is written by Javier Grillo-Marxuach, and wonderously illustrated by Les McClaine (Amaze Ink/SLG’s Highway 13 and Russ Manning Award Nominee 2002). Reality is a sham! Our way of life is constantky under attack by monsters, aleins and talking primates. The reason we - the normal world - are no congniant of the struggle? The Middleman. Working in absurd secrecy, the Middleman stares down threats from the extra- infra- and juxta-terrestial with a big gun and a have-a-nice-day grin. The Middleman: he fights evil so you don't have to.

Middleman creator and author brings an impressive resume to comics. Javier Grillo-Marxuach is currently a writer and  Supervising Producer on the hit ABC Network series "Lost." He has written and produced episodes of "Boomtown," "The Pretender," "Jake 2.0," "The Chronicle," "Charmed," "Three" and "seaQuest." Grillo-Marxuach has also sold and produced several network pilots, written and directed an award-winning short film, created a number of works for the stage and contributed freelance scripts and stories to "The Dead Zone," "Dark Skies," "Strange Frequency" and "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."
