Reconnaissance has discovered an alien invasion force with plans of conquest for planet Earth. Caught in a firefight, the escaping team from Stargate Command unknowingly allows a mysterious serpent-headed Goa'uld Lord access into the SGC.

In the resulting attack, Colonel Jack O'Neill finds himself on a distant world, face to face with a thousand Goa'uld warriors. With the SGC under lockdown and O'Neill already a prisoner of war, the SG-1 team must find a way to remove a doomsday bomb from the gate and rescue him from a Goa'uld fortress. Limited to just 2000 copies.

Format: B&W, 32 pages, monthly 1 of 6

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Ellis and Wolfer return for another brutal series featuring combat magician William Gravel!
Something with the unholy hunger for human flesh lurks in the Philippine jungle, a horror whose global political ramifications could shake the British government to its very foundation. But eradicating its trail from England is not Sergeant Major William Gravel's assignment. Curiously, the S.A.S.'s top combat magician has been given the seemingly simple task of assassinating one investigative reporter. Before this dark mission's end, however, Gravel's morality as a man will be put to the ultimate test and thrust him into a fight for his life against an army of the undead and quite possibly his very own countrymen.

You can at Avatar's Web site. We won't post them here because we're an all ages Web site.

Oh my god! This might be the first time that I am buying more from a company that is not marvel (excluding dc). Though Alan Moore's stuff is not always his writing, they do great adaptaions. I mean, not only the continuation of Nightjar, but a preview of Hypothetical Lizard as well. And what is there to say about Ellis' Strange Killings, just wonderful work as I see it.

For you 18+ folks, go check out those other covers. Could you have a better concept for a comc book? Lesbian goddesses. It is pure genius. I'd probably buy if it wasn't $6. I think if I am ever to write a comic, I will try to focus on similar themes.

Kidding of course, but the covers are quite nice.

Lesbian Catfights??? :baby: ooooh boy, count me in!!!!

Why didn't someone think of this earlier man? Lesbian fights are the chizney! :yeah:

But are those uncencored covers really going to be in the stores? I can just imagine a little kid running to his mamma saying "Mamma, mamma, can I have this?"
When the mother sees 2 naked lesbian godesses on the cover she is totally giong to freak :D

Okay, folks, I hate to be a prude but this really isn't appropriate discussion for an all ages board. Can we tone it down, please?

If a retailer decides to bring in a comic with a nude cover they would probably keep it in an adult's only section, or keep it on a top shelf, in a bag with the nudity covered up.

dont you dare say that "the concept that i wont mention for the sake of the kiddies" is not original! it is not only original, but brilliant. Brilliant!

I've said my peace now. I'll not post in this thread again unless absolutely necessary.

I read recently (here?) that the owners of Avatar Press were talking about teaming with Vivid video to create porn-comics (we haven't seen the stuff sense Penthouse stopped making comics). If that rumor is true, then the days of Naked covers and Hellina/ Pandora crossovers are probably numbered.
