IDW's April Solicitations!
Monday, Jan 23rd, 2012
From adventure and action to horror and mystery, there are
plenty of new and exciting IDW books coming in April. Take a look
at the full list below!
Richard
Stark’s Parker: The Score
Darwyn Cooke (w & a & c)
Fresh from his Eisner Award-winning efforts on The Hunter and The
Outfit, Darwyn Cooke now sets his steely sights on The Score, the
classic Richard Stark Parker novel from
1964. 
Parker becomes embroiled in a plot
with a dozen partners in crime to pull off what might be the
ultimate heist—robbing an entire town. Everything was going
fine for a while, and then things got bad. Considered one of the
best in the Parker series, The Score is the perfect vehicle for
Darwyn Cooke to pull out all the stops and let loose with a book
that has all the impact of a brutal kick to the solar plexus!

Wally Wood
Galaxy
Roger Hill (w) •
Wally Wood (a & c)
Wally Wood’s career is legendary among the annals of
comic’s history. He rocketed to fame working on Will
Eisner’s The Spirit newspaper strip and became one of the
most talented artists working for EC Comics during the 1950s. Wood
also became a star of EC’s satire comic called Mad, which
went on to even greater success as a magazine, allowing the artist
to apply his amazing talents in a broader spectrum. When the comics
industry fell on lean times during the mid 1950s, Wood segued into
the field of science fiction pulp illustration, providing over 200
beautiful drawings and several color cover paintings for the digest
magazines; particularly Galaxy. Wood left behind a legacy of great
art, much of which has never been reprinted. This book will feature
them all. Long time Wally Wood historian Roger Hill has spent the
past twenty years pulling together the history of Wood’s
involvement with the pulp digests and tracking down original art
for this project. Over half of the images have been pulled from the
originals or from Wood’s personal file copies, allowing Wood
fans the finest possible reproduction!

Nevsky: Hero of the
People
Ben McCool (w) • Mario Guevara (a &
c)
Written by Ben McCool (Memoir, Pigs) with art by rising star Mario
Guevara (Solomon Kane, Victorian Undead), this full-length graphic
novel is a stunning re-imagination of Sergei Eisenstein's famed
film, Alexander Nevsky (1938). Alexander Nevsky is a central figure
in Russian history, having lived during one of Russia's darkest
periods--the invasion of the Teutonic Knights. Alexander Nevsky
helped establish the Russian nation by defeating the Teutonic
Knights, invaders from the last vestiges of the Holy Roman Empire,
with an army comprised of ordinary citizens who were
poorly-equipped soldiers but fought for their freedom. This ragtag
band, against overwhelming odds, defeated the invaders in an
epic battle on the frozen lake Peipus--a spectacular achievement
that is still celebrated in Russia to this day. In 1938 the great
Russian filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein, much acclaimed for his
masterful interpretation as seen in "Battleship Potemkin" (1925)
and "Ivan the Terrible" (1944), brought the story of Alexander
Nevsky to life on the silver screen in an innovative and brilliant
way, by developing new film techniques that remain in use almost
100 years later by some of the greatest directors of our time. Now,
following in the steps of Eisenstein, IDW is proud to present one
of the most compelling historical graphic novels ever produced--one
that is as relevant today as it was at any time in history!

V-Wars
Jonathan Maberry,
Nancy Holder, Yvonne Navarro, James A. Moore, Gregory Frost, John
Everson, Keith R.A. DeCandido, and Scott Nicholson (w)
A sweeping threaded narrative of the global phenomenon known as the
Vampire Wars.
Mankind has been silently infected by millennia-old bacteria
unknowingly exhumed by a scientific expedition in Antarctica. Now,
in some rare cases, a person’s so-called “junk
DNA” becomes activated, and depending on their racial and
ethnic heritage they begin to manifest one of the many diverse
forms of the “others” that are the true basis for the
legends of supernatural creatures. These aren’t your usual
vampires and werewolves—it goes much deeper than that.
Conceived by Jonathan Maberry, V WARS features stories from various
“frontlines” as reported by such contributors as Nancy
Holder, Yvonne Navarro, James A. Moore, Gregory Frost, John
Everson, Keith R.A. DeCandido, and Scott Nicholson (as well as
Maberry himself, of course).
The result is a compelling series of tales that create a unique
chronicle of mankind’s response to this sudden, hidden threat
to humanity.
