Cover by John Watkiss.
Starting this month are two exciting new features in Dark Horse Comics. For all of you Godzilla fans out there, we've got a new two-part tale of the King of the Monsters that sets the stage for an infestation of monsters in Dark Horse's future.
We've also got the beginning of a beautifully rendered three-part African story of that monomaniacal hunter of the Galaxy, Predator. As if that weren't enough, we're also wrapping up the three-part introductory story of "Who is X?" as well as bringing you Part 3 of "James Bond: Light of My Death." That's Bond. James Bond... in a very debonair color cover drawn by John Watkiss.

Terceron City is home to many murderers and manipulators -- it's overpopulated, over-industrialized, and totally corrupt. It's also home to many heroes, including the super-clean superteam Allegiance. But where Allegiance isn't getting the job done, Terceron's latest resident, The Heretic, has no such obstructions. A rogue from an ancient brotherhood of religious assassins, The Heretic has renounced both his murderous past and Allegiance's code of honor. Terceron City's going to get a whole lot better, or he's going to see that it dies trying.
