Prime Cuts is back after a little hiatus. Why the hiatus? Because we no longer solicit books until they’re completely done (minus lettering). This method should get our books out on the months they’re suppose to be released.

BloodRayne: Prime Cuts #3 (of 4)
by Chad Lambert, Chase Conley, Oscar Bazaldua, Pow Rodrix, Ed Dukeshire
covers by Michael DiPascale, incentive cover by Juanmar

Prime Cuts is back with three new blood-soaked tales — all set within the hit video game series! From a zombie plague caused by the Queen on the Underworld to a sideshow carnival featuring body parts of the original King of Hell, there’s plenty to keep Rayne busy doing what she does best!

Look for it in better comic shops March 2009

Covers by Scott Clark, Dan Panosian, and Michael DiPascale (200 copy Limited Edition)
The high-stakes slugfest is on! Noburu has arrived to claim the supernatural weapon that Hicharo has pledged his life to protect… and he didn’t come alone! Rayne and Ayano stand together against an army of elite warriors as terror rages through the halls of Hicharo’s sanctum. In the heat of a losing battle, Rayne will be faced with a choice: embrace powers she can’t control, or die at the hands of the relentless Noburu!

BloodRayne: Tokyo Rogue #2
by Troy Wall, Jake Bilbao, John Wycough, Joel Seguin
Covers by Don Walker and Michael DiPascale (250 copy Limited Edition)
Who is the enigmatic Hicharo? Is he friend or foe? And just how does his troubled past with the Brimstone Society tie into the life of the nefarious Kagan?! One thing is for sure: You will not believe the proposition he has in store for Rayne! Plus, more action with the deadly beauty Ayano as she enlists Severin to aid her in trapping an unlikely foe. All this and more as the battle in the land of the rising sun rages on!

Artist Eduardo Garcia sent me this. Pretty sweet.

If Eduardo’s name sounds familiar, it should. He’s been working on Marvel and IDW projects the past few months. Before he sent this over, he showed us some impressive Power Pack pages.

Look for more of Eduardo’s art here and in some of our comics in the future!

Just like promised, here’s the Scott Clark cover for Tokyo Rogue #3. Inked by Andrew Mangum and colored by Juan Fernandez. Is this hot or what?

Incidentally,  the team that worked on this cover will also be the same team on the Ayano one-shot, a BloodRayne spin-off title. Scott has been turning in pages while Andrew has been inking away. We’re targeting a October/November release. Painter Michael DiPascale (BloodRayne incentive covers) turned in a variant cover which I’ll post up soon. And our buddy Alp Altiner (Team 14) is working on a sweet piece as well.

Look for BloodRayne: Tokyo Rogue #3 in comic shops this September. #1 hit comics shops last Wednesday, hope you grabbed a copy!

BloodRayne: Tokyo Rogue #1 - That cover is pretty muddled [cover A shown by Don Walker], which fits well with the story.

You know, for someone who has an innate fear of anything that mews, I read way too many horror comics. Bloodrayne is one of them, focusing on a half-human half-vampire (AKA dhampir) and her adventures working for the Brimstone Society.

Dan Panosian sure is a great artist. And he’s coming back to comics and we hope to have him pumping out more and more BloodRayne and Ayano covers for us in the future.

Here’s a sneak peek at “Cover B” of Tokyo Rogue #3. We’ll show off the other cover on Friday by Scott Clark (which you’re gonna love just as much).

Look for BloodRayne: Tokyo Rogue #3 in comic shops this September, issue #1 hit stores on May 14th, hope you grabbed a copy!

Okay, check this out, DiPascale and I were brainstorming some cover ideas and thought it’d be pretty cool to showcase Rayne’s great cast of villains. Since the Prime Cuts series is so heavily reliant on the actual video games themselves, it made sense to toss these characters on the covers.

But I wanted to take it a step further and borrow an idea I’ve seen done in the past where a character appears to have taken over someone’s title. Thus, this was born.

This isn’t the actual incentive cover for #4, it’s a preliminary mock to test out the concept. Which cover will Ferril appear on? And which other popular Rayne villains will get their own covers? Stay tuned.
