New Releases by Ben Templesmith

Wormwood isn''t dead! Well, anymore than usual, that is. Thanks to a long-lost chumu0084 apparently an Elvis impersonatoru0084with an illegal dimension-shopping device, all and sundry manage to escape the dark universe but are now lost in the Infinities, randomly jumping dimensions without a map. Luckily for them, the indigenous population seems intent on helping them get back homeu0084which can''t happen too soon, with Earth still facing destruction from the remainder of the squidly things that came through uninvited...

Ben Templesmith returns with his first solo project since Singularity 7. Meet Wormwood, the English-accented, beer-drinking, sentient corpse possessing a maggot expat from the Hell dimension. Well, one of them. If he''s not attempting to save Earth from demonic, parasitic fungal infections or undead strippers, then he''s off drinking with his homemade mechanical sidekick, Mr. Pendulum.

Part 2 of 4: Raymond Delgado isn''t welcome at all. Rather, he''s the newest inmate at the Hoxford Correctional Facility and Mental Institution. He has no hope of release, parole, rehabilitation, or decent conversation. On a good day, he''ll tell you he''s Zeus and only bite your arm off. Literally. On a bad day, you won''t have time to scream to the prison guard for help. And why are people always transferred into Hoxford, but no records show anyone ever transferring back out?

Part 2 of 3. 1941. Hitler''s Operation: Silver Fox has failed, but the war on the Eastern Front drags on as the Russian winter starts to bite. British military attache Corporal Charlie Keating observes the war from the Soviet side, making sure crucial supplies get through to aid Stalin''s front in the battle against the Nazis. With luck, he too will survive to see the end of the war. But something else is out there, and they''re not the Nazis. No matter how hard humanity tries to kill itself, something else does it better. 30 Days of Night/Fell co-creator and Wormwood Gentleman Corpse auteur Ben Templesmith''s first solo 30 Days tale is collected here, presenting a war of a different kind, one that will have repercussions felt all the way to Barrow, Alaska a half-century later. Also featuring additional story pages, character designs, a cover gallery, and an all-new cover from 2007 Scream Award nominee Templesmith.

Part 1 of 4: With the Earth laid waste by an assault from microscopic nanites, humanity hides in underground cities. But those cities are being destroyed by the ''Gosiodo'' machine beings engineered to convert the remnants of humanity to the will of the nanites. It''s up to seven men and women, seemingly immune to the nanotechnology, to fight back before there''s nothing left to fight for. A stunning new series written and drawn by Ben Templesmith.

Wormwood just wants a quiet beer down the club, with some time to reflect. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and their televangelist groupies might have different plans, however... as the hookers and blow that''ve kept them occupied since they arrived on Earth is quickly running out, and boredom is setting in.

Part 4 of 4. In the waning moments of 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, Stella managed to bring her vampire/husband Eben back from beyond only he came back hungry. Now, for the first time, see what happened next, in this collection that fills in the black gaps between that tale and Return to Barrow, courtesy of 30 Days co-creator Steve Niles, Kelly Sue DeConnick and artist Justin Randall.

Just when Wormwood thought he could finally have that quiet drink without worrying about the world coming to an end, or a friend with a parasitic infection trying to kill him, The Brotherhood of the Calamari decide to crash the party. Since their last meeting, they''ve tracked him across the thousand million dimensional possibilities of existenceu0084and this time the entire Squideeverse is with them. Wormwood is going to learn the hard way he can''t keep running from his problems as his oldest foe now threatens his favorite watering hole, Earth, with absorption into the Calamari group mind.
