The
May Edition of Diamond Comics Distribution's PREVIEWS
catalog will be in stores this Wednesday, April 23rd,
and will contain the solicitation for the second issue
of the Femme Noir: Dark City Diaries miniseries
from Ape Entertainment.
As
with the first issue, #2 will feature two variant covers:
the "A"cover by Joe Staton and Alfredo
Lopez, Jr., and a "B" cover by Matt Haley
(Ghost, Birds of Prey, G.I. Spy). Each version
has its own order code (see below) so you can choose in
advance which version you want to get.
Here's
a brief synopsis of issue #2, "Dead Man's Hand:"
A husband's bad luck at cards results in a violent,
twisted web of lies, blackmail, murder, and an explosive
climax at sea with Port Nocturne's beautiful and deadly
protector.
The
Diamond Item Code is MAY083591. (Staton & Lopez)
The Diamond Item Code is MAY083592. (Haley)
Remember,
if you can pre-order it from your local comics shop, please
do. Every pre-order helps a lot, and shows the store owner
that there is interest in the book, which may lead him
to order a few more copies for the shelves. Not sure where
your closest comic shop is? Try the Comic Shop Locator
Service or call 1-888-COMICBOOK.
