Story and art by Frank Miller.
Just one hour to go. Hartigan's polishing his badge and working himself up to kissing it good-bye, it and the thirty-odd years of protecting and serving and tears and blood and triumph that it represents. He's thinking about his wife's slow smile, about the thick, fat steaks she's picked up at the butcher's, about the bottle of champagne she's got packed in ice, about sleeping in till ten in the morning and spending sunny afternoons flat on his back. Just one hour to go and he gets word from a stoolie about that one loose end he hasn't tied up, a young girl who's out there, helpless in the hands of a drooling lunatic. Just one hour to go ... and he's gonna go out with a bang.

Not a jury in the world would convict these guys of premeditated humor. Instant Piano is the snappiest slap-in-the-face comic to hit the racks in years and presents the most sharp-witted, cynical cartoonists alive, including Mark Badger, Kyle Baker, Robbie Busch, Stephen DeStefano, and Evan Dorkin. If this one was any more spontaneous it would combust on the shelves! If we told you it was like Milk & Cheese meets Ren & Stimpy meets Why I Hate Saturn we would probably be looking at a lawsuit, so just trust us when we say it's good. This premiere issue features a color cover by Kyle Baker.

the deadly cyborg Grendel-Prime pursues the past with singular purpose, even while the decadent and decaying world he has forsaken hunts him for reasons of its own. With each chapter a twisted relation to the children's rhyme, "Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief, doctor, lawyer, Indian chief," this tightly crafted work is an essential piece of the Grendel canon, and a tie-in to Wagner's popular Batman/Grendel series.

Consumed with love, the impulsive clown sees his heart dragged about town, with a charming surprise to bend the tale in a modern direction. Gaiman's writing is poetic and as heartfelt as the subject matter. Bolton's art, a combination of digitally enhanced photorealism and dynamic painting provides sensational depth with bright characters over fittingly muted backgrounds. Those who have spent Valentine's Day alone are aware that the cold February holiday can be hard to swallow. Gaiman and Bolton want you to know that all it takes is a steak knife, a fork, and a bottle of quality ketchup!
