• THE SCOOP: Brian Azzarello and Richard Corben unlock Cage!
• THE SET-UP: Life on the streets is a high stakes game. There are winners and losers. Those that play by the rules, do so at their own risk, and often pay a price. Who's got their back? There's a man who can set things straight. A specialist. He doesn't come cheap, but if you've got the bank, he's got game. Some know him as a "Hero for Hire." Some as a "Power Man." For others, he's an urban legend. He's all - and none - of the above. His name is Cage. It's time you got to know him.
• THE STORY: Investigating the murder of a teenage girl, Cage suddenly learns that a three-way gang war is underway for control of the turf he calls home. And what better way than to disrupt the stalemate than offering his services to the highest bidder?
• THE CREATORS: The team behind BANNER, writer Brian Azzarello (100 Bullets) and artist Richard Corben (House on the Borderland), unite once again to knock fandom on its collective butt!

MUTANT X #1 PHOTO COVER
david tischman (w)/lee ferguson & ignacio calero(p)/jon holdredge (i)
• THE SCOOP: The hot nationally syndicated TV show becomes a comic!
• THE SET-UP: "It's the story of Adam, a geneticist who breaks from Genomex, a secret government project that secretly tinkered with the DNA of over 1000 women in the 1970's an '80's," explained series writer David Tischman. "The purpose was to help rid the human race of disease and genetic defects, but the unexpected result has been the appearance of unique, mutant powers in the women's offspring. When it becomes clear that the government - in the form of the Genetic Security Agency (the G.S.A.) and its head, Mason Eckhart want to use the mutants, Adam erases the database of the offspring and goes on the run, dedicated to finding these special kids and helping them escape the government's power. Adam's formed an underground of powered and non-powered individuals to help the Mutants he finds and place them with families across the country, away from the government's grip. Aiding Adam in his fight are four new mutants: Shalimar Fox, a sexy feral woman, Brennan Mulwray, a young man with the power to discharge electricity, Emma Delauro, a woman with empathic powers, which enable her to read and influence the thoughts and emotions of others, and Jesse Kilmartin, who can phase his body from intangible to steel-like density with a thought."
• THE STORY: "Issue #1 of the comic book is a double-sized issue, an origin story of sorts, telling how Adam, and his then mentor, Paul Breedlove, are recruited by the government to run Genomax, and how the initial genetic tinkering occurred," Tischman explained. "The TV series starts with all the characters - and conflicts - in place, and we thought it'd be fun to start the comic from the beginning, to give the fans some behind-the-scenes information and insight into Adam and his philosophical nemesis, Eckhart."

• THE STORY: Having attempted to settle into a new life over the past few years with the Avengers, Greer isn't happy with just being "part of the team". Where some people are happy neatly fitting in, Greer wants - needs - more. A woman with an unquenchable appetite, she hops from bed to bed before realizing she's got to settle up with the past. This means getting to bottom of The Brotherhood of the Blue Fist: an elusive group who may have murdered her late husband... and who now dish out justice in leather bondage masks! Can the were-woman infiltrate the deadly cabal... or will curiosity kill the cat?

"When her tension levels fly high, Greer can change form uncontrollably without the use of the amulet; something you don't really want to do in public. Tigra, as you'll see, is one complex creature!"
