While we’re sneaking and, um, peeking, let’s take a look at another title due out in August, the 40-page Zombie Highway: Directionless one-shot.

Writer Jason Pell has rolled out a five-page preview in the Zombie Highway forum — and, as if that’s not enough, he’s made available the entire Volume 1 graphic novel at the book’s MySpace page. For free!

So, if you haven’t read any of the Zombie Highway comics before, now’s the time. Once you’ve devoured that, run — don’t zombie-walk! – to your retailer and place your order for Zombie Highway: Directionless (Diamond Code JUN073490).

There’s plenty of action in BloodRayne: Red Blood Run #2 — if you picked up Raw II, you’ve already gotten a taste — but I think some of the best parts are the lighter moments, particularly those between Rayne and her old friend Valerio. (You’ll meet him in Issue 1, which should be in stores July 5. With Valerio, Troy’s created my favorite supporting character in the BloodRayne universe.)

Here’s one of those moments, when Rayne and Valerio share an elevator ride to — well, that would be telling.

BloodRayne: Red Blood Run #2 is due in stores in August. There’s still time to order it from your retailer! (Variant covers: Diamond Code JUN073486 and JUN073487)
