\u00ab\u00a0EPOCH meets all of my criteria for a cool comic: murder, mayhem, mythology, mystery, and monsters. And a hero that dresses like Ming the Merciless,\u00a0\u00bb explained McCarthy. \u00ab\u00a0EPOCH is the kind of comic I’d want to buy. Where else can you see an angel with inner demons solve the murder of a werewolf, pistol-whip a wizard, and run game on a gorgon?\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab\u00a0When Heroes and Villains Entertainment presented us with EPOCH, we knew we had a terrifically dynamic, exciting world that comic fans would really respond to,\u00a0\u00bb said Top Cow Publisher Filip Sablik. \u00ab\u00a0Kevin McCarthy has really brought the concept to life with a huge cast of fascinating characters and intrigue that will keep readers coming back month after month. And if that’s not enough, Paolo Pantalena’s art is sure to grab fans by their eyeballs and refuse to let go.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n
As the story of EPOCH begins, NYPD Detective Jonah Wright\u2019s world is about to change forever. A mysterious murder case that he has been investigating threatens to rip apart his reality, plunging him into the shadowy world of the supernatural. It appears that Bishop is fated to unlock a conspiracy that could tear apart the very fabric of society!<\/p>\n
EPOCH #1, a 32-page full color science fiction fantasy comic book for $3.99, will be available at a comic store near you on August 3, 2011.<\/p>\n
