    Better late than never I always say.  Take the jump to check out sneak peeks that are arriving in stores today from Boom! Studios.

    BLOOD BOWL: KILLER CONTRACT #5– Welcome to the hyper-violent hilarity of Blood Bowl, the miniseries that puts the fantasy (as in elves, dwarves, orcs, and ogres) back into football! In this climatic issue, the Bad Bay Hackers take on the Champions of Death in a bid for the Blood Bowl Championship trophy. Assassin Kalter Morder still hopes to kill Hacker hero Dunk Hoffnung, but he has to compete for the honor with hi shocking client, not to mention a small army of the undead! Features two alternate covers, both by series artist Lads Helloven.

    CHALLENGER DEEP #3– Take a deep breath. Hold it. Now, imagine you’re on a -I didn’t say breathe!- on a sunken submarine at the bottom of the ocean, teetering on enough methane ice to blow the world in half if you make Ihe slightest wrong move. Your only prayer of survival lies with the only diver on Earth who’s ever gone this deep. Of course, that was the time he lost his wife and half his crew, but he’s older now. Comforted? No? Thank writers Andrew Cosby, creator of the hit Sci-Fi Channel show Eureka, and Andy Schmidt!

Fultz, writer for Weird Tales magazine, who tells the chilling tale of what happens when “A Stronger Comes to Night Hill!” Also, Seattle Times writer Mark Rahner pits the irresistible force of the oId-god worshippers against the immovable object known as Child Protective Services -and no one wins!

    ZOMBIE TALES #6– Featuring an all-new story by the legendary Monte Cook in his first foray into Zombie Tales! Two soldiers have two very different views about how to deal with the zombie uprising–but only one has a rifle! Editor Mark Waid says, “This is one of the best–and, with art by Jeremy Rock, best-looking–stories we’ve done yet at BOOM! A must-read for Cook’s fans and for fans of the undead in general!”
    ZOMBIE TALES: WAR AT HOME- Collecting Joe Lansdale’s zombie masterpiece “The War At Home” from Zombie Tales #1-3, this special one-shot tells the story of a veteran’s hospital overrun by the undead- and the crippled soldiers who band together for one last battle against an invading army! Features two alternate covers, both by interior artist Eduardo Barreto.

      @Josh – I’ve picked up the series so far, and though I haven’t read it cover to cover yet (I tend to wait until all the issues are published…otherwise, I forget stuff…) browsing through, it looks really good. Love the art, and all those cool blues remind me a lot of The Abyss…
