Preorder OGMD 1&2 NOW! (Yes, OGMD #2 is finally here!)

The time has finally come. “The Black Coat: …Or Give Me Death” issues 1 and 2 can now be preordered in the August issue of PREVIEWS (order code AUG09 0631)! Both issues will be packaged into one monster 48 page swashbuckling fun fest. If you purchased OGMD #1 the first time around, don’t worry; you’ll be getting both issues for only $4.50! And, as a special bonus (and one reason for the delay…), the series finally transitions into the world of color! This marks the first time we’ve used color in a mini. Here are some more details about the book:

Issue 1 is written by Ben Lichius and drawn by the master himself, Francesco Francavilla. If you missed it the first time around, this is a great chance to get caught up on The Black Coat and the Knights of Liberty – or more specifically, why the Black Coat is dead, why he doesn’t stay that way, and just what happens to you when you mix in too much alchemy with your science. Oh, and we mentioned color right?

Issue 2, also written by Lichius, introduces new series artist Dean Kotz to the fold. “Dean’s an amazing story teller,” says Lichius. “He really knows how to bring the environment, the characters, and the action in a story to life, and he does it all with an amazing amount of detail. There’s so much going on in these pages, and he makes it look so effortless. I think our readers are really going to enjoy the ride that Dean’s art is going to take them on.”

So be sure to check it out. Actually, be sure to tell your local comic shop to order it for you. That way there’s no chance you’ll miss one of funnest, most action-packed, spy-thrillers of the year! Here’s all the info:
