MANIFEST DESTINY maps out all-new story arc: SASQUATCH
Issue #19 will mark the beginning of a new chapter in the high-stakes historical fantasy. Writer Chris Dingess and artist Matthew Roberts return with their biggest MANIFEST DESTINY story yet, the 6-issue "Sasquatch" arc, featuring America's most legendary monster. The adventure begins this May from Image/Skybound Entertainment.
Previously, deep in America’s heartland, Lewis & Clark’s expedition lead to the discovery of a civilization unlike any they—or anyone else on Earth—had yet encountered, and it pushed their men to the brink of mutiny.
In MANIFEST DESTINY #19, readers return to the story as Lewis and Clark pick up the trail of the legendary Sasquatch, AKA Bigfoot. Huge pieces of the series' mythology will be revealed by arc's end.
MANIFEST DESTINY #19 Cover A by Roberts and Gieni and Cover B by Harren hit stores on Wednesday, May 18th.
MANIFEST DESTINY, VOL. 1 (ISBN: 978-1607069829), is available now. It can be ordered on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indiebound, and Indigo.
MANIFEST DESTINY, VOL. 2 (ISBN: 978-1632150523) is available now. It can be ordered on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indiebound, and Indigo.
MANIFEST DESTINY, VOL. 3 (ISBN: 978-1632153975) is available now. It can be ordered on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indiebound, and Indigo.

Wargaming and Dark Horse Comics Form Alliance to Publish Epic “World of Tanks: Roll Out!” Comic Book Series
Wargaming, the award-winning online game developer and publisher of the globally successful World of Tanks combat series, today announced a partnership with comic book publisher Dark Horse Comics. This agreement will see the creation and publication of the “World of Tanks: Roll Out!” comic book series inspired by the hit video game with over 120 million registered players globally. “World of Tanks: Roll Out!” will be a five issue series, rolling into comic book stores across the US and European territories and digital distribution in the fall of 2016.
“World of Tanks: Roll Out!” will be written by fan-favorite Garth Ennis (Preacher, War Stories, The Punisher), who brings a unique, historically-informed approach to tell a hard-hitting war tale focused on the daring tank crews of World War II. The legendary Carlos Ezquerra (Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, War Stories Vol. 2) will bring his decades of skill to depict the tanks of WWII and the men who commanded them. Covers will be gorgeously illustrated by Isaac Hannaford (HALO: Reach, The Punisher) and will burst with all the intense tank-on-tank combat to be found in the pages of “World of Tanks: Roll Out!”
World of Tanks: Roll Out!” is set during the tank battles of the summer 1944, featuring British versus German armored units in post D-Day Normandy. It’s the German Panthers vs. British Cromwells, as the British tankers push deeper into France and toward the might of the Germans.
“World of Tanks: Roll Out!” comic issue #1 will be available digitally in the fall of 2016 in comic book shops across North America and Europe, and will follow a monthly cadence of release for five issues of brutal tank combat.
World of Tanks (PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Mobile) is the first free-to-play massively multiplayer online action game dedicated to armored warfare. With hundreds of vehicles from a variety of countries at your disposal, the path to victory is achieved through team work, strategy and expert combat skill.

From the Co-Writer of “MAD MAX: FURY ROAD” Comes “DREAM GANG”
Dark Horse Comics announces the release of Brendan McCarthy’s psychedelic comics opus Dream Gang. Collecting the story originally published in Dark Horse Presents, Dream Gang represents veteran comics creator Brendan McCarthy at his finest.
“Dream Gang is a story that takes place in dreams entirely,” says McCarthy. “It is the story of a young man who lives a dreary, gray life. One night he has a vivid dream that connects him to a group of naturally gifted psychic voyagers known as the Dream Gang. The dream that follows changes him forever.”
A young man is transformed into a Dream Voyager while he sleeps by the mysterious Dream Gang. They are searching for a destructive dream bomb that has been implanted into one of his memories. But to find the bomb, a secret memory must be uncovered.
A Fantastic Voyage through the mind!
Dream Gang arrives on July 27 and retails for $14.99. Preorder your copy today at your local comic book store or favorite online retailer: Amazon and Barnes & Noble
