SBM Comic Pack New Releases for August 06, 2008 (Misc , Part 1)

Description:

ARMY @ LOVE: THE ART OF WAR #1
What's the matter, bunky? Quagmire in the Middle East got
you down? Economy in the toilet? Closest thing you've got
to a social life these days is your MySpace page? Then have
we got the miniseries for you! Laugh your troubles away with
ARMY@LOVE: THE ART OF WAR, as Season Two of the wildly acclaimed
satire by Rick Veitch (SWAMP THING) and Gary Erskine (THE FILTH)
follows the raucous misadventures of a group of U.S. soldiers
fighting the war that modern marketing says is winnable. This
6-issue miniseries provides the perfect entree into the comic
book that Entertainment Weekly called 'amazingly racy and ruthless,'
and that Variety said is 'full of the kind of wild ideas that comics
used to do all the time.' It's more over-the-top sex, mayhem and
human comedy that boingboing.net described as "the kind of funny
we need a lot more of if we're to keep from laughing ourselves
into the grave.'

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: SEASON EIGHT #17
After a shaky introduction, Buffy and Fray must join forces in
order to discover the purpose of their meeting, and its impact
on the world at large. Joss Whedon and Karl Moline, co-creators
of the Fray: Future Slayer, reunite in Buffy Season Eight with
the highly anticipated story arc "Time of Your Life."

CROSSED #0
Garth Ennis has pulled out all the stops to write the most
twisted book of his career, Crossed! Through ten heart-stopping
chapters, Crossed is his horrifically visceral exploration of
the pure evil that humans are truly capable of indulging. This
gut-wrenching vision is brought to vivid - and more than a
little disturbing - life by his partner in crime Jacen Burrows.
Imagine, for a moment, the worst crimes against humanity. Picture
the cruelest affronts to decency. Conjure your darkest nightmares -
and then realize it could all be so much worse. When civilization
crumbles in one terrifying moment; when people are gleefully
breaking into unthinkable acts of violence all around you; when
everyone you love has died screaming in agony: What do you do?
There is no help. There is no hope. There is no escape. There
are only the Crossed. Certain to be the most depraved and
corrupt book of the year, this one is not for the faint of
heart! This #0 issue is not a preview, it features the
essential first chapter of the story and is available with
a Regular or Wraparound cover by Burrows as well as a rare
1-in-15 Red Crossed Edition featuring a striking Black,
White and Red cover by Burrows.

HELLBLAZER PRESENTS: CHAS THE KNOWLEDGE #1 & #2
Cab driver Francis 'Chas' Chandler leads an unremarkable
existence. His greatest moments have come tagging along
with John Constantine -- as a chauffeur. His home life is
nothing special, and his beloved London is becoming a soulless
metropolis. In middle age, Chas is stuck in a rut. But Chas is
a master of 'The Knowledge,' the elaborate system of routes
and landmarks which every London cabbie must memorize. Until now,
The Knowledge has been just a tool for Chas. But now, he's
about to discover a more sinister significance of The Knowledge.
An ominous entity from London's grim history has reemerged,
and only someone with The Knowledge can stop it. Is Chas up
to the task, on his own? From the feverish mind of Simon Oliver
(THE EXTERMINATORS, GEN 13) with lush artwork by Goran Sudzuka
(Y: THE LAST MAN, LADY CONSTANTINE), THE KNOWLEDGE is Chas's
chance to make his own mark on the dark universe of HELLBLAZER.

HOUSE OF MYSTERY #4
In part 4 of the 5-part "Room and Boredom," things are going
from bad to worse for our heroine Fig Keele - she's starting
to believe that she may never actually escape from the House
of Mystery, and that the people she's trapped with may be less
friendly than they appear. But the greatest danger, she will
soon realize, comes from the House itself.
