AVENGELYNE SLAYS WITH A NEW COVER

Berkeley,
CA – 28 June, 2011 – To mark the return of one of Rob Liefeld’s classic
characters to the world of comics, acclaimed cover artist Joe Benitez
(Lady Mechanika, Green Hornet, GI Joe) brings his unique style to a
special variant cover for AVENGELYNE #1.

Created
by Image Comics founder Rob Liefeld over 15 years ago, the fallen angel
Avengelyne’s quest for redemption is brought back into the forefront of
comics by writer Mark Poulton (Koni Waves) and artist Owen Gieni (Sore
Thumbs). Together, this new creative team takes this freshly redesigned
supernatural heroine on an epic and tantalizing adventure through the
sin-filled streets of New York City. Will Avengelyne be able to stop New
York’s newest serial killer, Torment, and who has the mysterious Red
Dragon chosen as his newest human host? The adventure begins this July
in AVENGELYNE #1, only from Image Comics!

The
Joe Benitez variant of AVENGELYNE #1 (MAY110434), along with variant
covers by series creator Rob Liefeld (MAY110432) and interior artist
Owen Gieni (MAY110433), will go on sale July 20
