Fillmore Press was once Madder Red, a homicidal maniac and criminal overlord who terrorized the town of Bedlam for years. Then he got better. The story of Bedlam is what happens next.  The newest Image comic series hits stores this week and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. Ever since viewing a preview of the comic earlier this summer I have been dying to share it with people and this preview gives me a chance. This maddeningly dark and somewhat hilarious tale of a Joker-esque supervillian is guaranteed to be a cult hit comic.

Written by comic’s rising super star, Nick Spencer (Morning Glories, Thief of Thieves), the opening issue is a double-sized blast of unexpected chaos for just $3.50. Making the issue stand out even more is Riley Rossmo’s (Green Wake, Rebel Blood) stunning artwork and Jean-Paul Csuka’s magnificently dramatic colors. We have a 6-page preview of the comic below, including 7 crazy covers for the first issue (two of which are store exclusives for Forbidden Planet & Third Eye Comics). Really, nothing more needs to be said about this new series, just check out the opening 6-pages and you’ll be lining up at comic stores this Wednesday, October 31st, to pick up your copy.
