 Caliban #5 (2014) terror $3.99 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
(W) Garth Ennis (A/CA) Facundo Percio GARTH ENNIS, the creator of Preacher and Crossed, has delivered a space horror like no other in Caliban. Most of the crew were voided into space when the ships merged. But those left behind are experiencing a creeping dread as the quantity of survivors keeps falling at the hand of Karien. Desperation is the currency of the hour as the final few attempt to understand and escape the misery unfolding on the doomed mining ship. No one is safe in dead space. Available with Regular, Wraparound, Terror, and Design Sketch Incentive covers by Facundo Percio and an ultra-limited Dark Matter edition of just 1500 copies. Date Available: 7/30/2014
BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy
 This is pretty good for an Avatar book. The premise is a simple one- spaceship in warp, spaceship IN spaceship in warp, where did spaceship come from? Since we've got a workable premise, we just need some archetypes to fill the pages. They're provided nicely by writer Garth Ennis as the hero, the rogue, the mechanic, and the a******e in charge. Ennis is hampered a little bit by having all of his characters not be dogs, southern, or Irish, but its early. The art by Facundo Percio is fine for the interiors, pretty off in every way for perspective outside the ship...standard Avatar stuff. Nothing that special to recommend it, nothing that bad to say about it. I give it 6 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
