Posted on by

Hey, friends! Big news – today’s the last day for comic book shops to pre-order RETURN TO PLANET HULK #1 and DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: THE FALLBACKS #1, two big books I’ve written that are coming out in October. So if you’re interested, please do contact your local comics shop and ask them to pre-order these books for you! They’re both AWESOME!

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: THE FALLBACKS #1 is the first issue of a brand new Dark Horse Comics series written by yours truly with art by Wilton Santos, Edvan Alvens, and Raul Angulo and letters by Nate Piekos. And just check out this glorious cover by Marguerite Sauvage!

Marguerite Savauge's cover for Dungeons & Dragons: The Fallbacks #1 featuring the party looking dramatic and fun, wielding weapons and gear.

Here’s the official solicit:

In a time of fickle gods and feckless governors, the world yearns for heroes! What it gets are the Fallbacks—a party of daring, dubious, and dysfunctional adventurers who arrive in the city of Loudwater in search of gold and glory. But an encounter with kobold thieves puts the Fallbacks in the crosshairs of a rival team of deeply annoying local heroes. Will the Fallbacks pull off a heist for the ages? Or will they sacrifice it all to put these “heroes” in their place?

Comics writer and Eisner nominee Joey Esposito got a sneak peak and just posted, “it made me desperate to get back into our D&D campaign. Not just fun for D&D fans, fun for fans of good adventure stories period. Tell your retailers!!!”

Dontcha dare miss it!

RETURN TO PLANET HULK #1 is a one-shot that celebrates the 20th anniversary of the original PLANET HULK storyline. (And no, I can’t believe it’s been that long, either!)

Thrillingly, we got original PLANET HULK artist Carlo Pagulayan and colorist Chris Sotomayor back on board for this story, and we tell an untold, evocative tale that slots in right after issue #95, the fourth chapter in the original saga.

RETURN TO PLANET HULK #1 cover by Carlo Pagulayan featuring the Hulk in gladiator gear raging over a pile of smashed Wildebots.

And here’s a sneak preview of a little introductory text from within the book, never before seen!

The “heroes” of Earth thought the Hulk was a monster. So they sent him to Planet Sakaar, where he was enslaved, forced to fight as a gladiator, and then smashed his way to freedom. 

But now the people of Sakaar may think he’s something even worse than a monster:

A hero.

Again, please do feel free to contact your local comic shop and ask them to pre-order these books! Thanks so much for your support, as always!
