FAR CRY: ESPERANZA’S TEARS Issue 1 • MSRP: $3.99 • Available October 12th
For Juan Cortez, guerrilla warfare is a profession. Death, a hobby.
Over the years, he’s traveled from countries at war to conflict zones, putting his experience and training at the service of the highest bidder. This time, fate led him to Santa Costa, a South American country that curiously reminds him of Yara, his native land. Because here, as on the island of Antón Castillo, the recent discovery of a rare resource, a
mineral called “Tantalum,” has upset the economy of a small nation previously ignored.
Three camps now face each other: the military junta recently established in power by Di Stefano, the bourgeois party led by the daughter of the assassinated former leader, and a revolutionary group, defender of labor and indigenous rights. It was the latter, guided by their leader Max Purillo, who called on Juan’s talents. And for him, it’s blessed bread. A nascent
guerrilla, a troubled period politically, and above all: money. A lot of money. To save the country, he is asked to strike a blow by assassinating General Di Stefano. But of course, nothing will go as planned…
adventure!

When crime takes a turn for the weird, police normally call Alexandra Trese. But lately, it seems like others have been taking that call…
A mysterious motorcycle racer has been capturing criminals with his unearthly speed. A masked giant has been demolishing drug dens and destroying gangs’ headquarters. Trese must control these supernatural crime-fighters and bring back order to the city before the underworld
attempts to seek balance in its own way.
It includes updated/remastered artwork, as well as bonus material, including Alexandra’s
journal entries chronicling her creature encounters. Plus, an afterword by writer Budjette Tan, detailing how the story evolved from a 20-page stand-alone case to its current form and the factors that influenced the story.
