Francis Tsai (Marvel Adventures, Impaler) is one of the few artists who can fully paint his interior\u00a0pages and his style is a perfect fit for the project. As these first eleven pgs show, he’s done an amazing job and will continue to impress as the series goes on.\u00a0 Author and Mercy creator Patricia Briggs has been absolutely thrilled with the results so far.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0The artwork is impressive and beautiful,\u00a0\u00bb says Patricia Briggs. \u00ab\u00a0I think we’ve captured exactly what the world of Mercy Thompson is all about — Real world troubles like getting a job and paying the bills — broken up by moments of terror and humor.\u00a0 Fun stuff. I’m so excited about this project!\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

For those unfamiliar with the work, Mercedes \u00ab\u00a0Mercy\u00a0\u00bb Thompson is a Volkswagen mechanic\u2026she’s also a coyote shapeshifter, an observer of the supernatural community, but not part of it: the perfect intermediary between the things that go bump in the night . . . and the things that bump back. This prequel to the best-selling Mercy Thompson novels finds Mercy smack in the middle of warring packs of werewolves and face to face with angry vampires. Worse still, she faces the dreaded job interview!<\/p>\n

Patrica Briggs’ Mercedes Thompson series began in 2006 with the publication of Moon Called. The second and third books in the series, Blood Bound and the #1 New York Times bestseller Iron Kissed, have only helped to cement Briggs as one of the rising stars in the realm of paranormal fantasy.\u00a0 With a new, highly anticipated Mercy novel coming out in February of ’09 called Bone Crossed, expect this series to drive her legions of fans, many of them female, straight to comic book stores when the first issue debuts in November.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Dabel Brothers continues to impress with new projects that continuously gain widespread appeal,\u00a0\u00bb says Robert Randle, Brand Manager at Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc. \u00ab\u00a0We’re all anxious to see where their new projects end up and what new stuff they still have in store for us down the line.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Orders are being taken now, Diamond Code SEP083941 PATRICIA BRIGGS MERCY THOMPSON HOMECOMING #1 (OF 4).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Patricia Briggs began writing in 1990, and published her first novel Masques in 1993.\u00a0 Her skill at crafting convincing characters eventually led her editor to ask if she would write an urban fantasy. The genre was showing promising growth, and the publisher wanted to expand their offerings. She accepted, signing a contract for three books, and penned Moon Called, which sold far better than her previous novels, making it to the USA Today bestseller lists. The second book in the series, Blood Bound hit the New York Times bestseller list. Her most recent book, Iron Kissed was a #1 New York Times bestseller.\u00a0 More recently, she has announced there will be at least seven novels in her best-selling ‘Mercy Thompson’ series. One hallmark of Briggs’ books is that each book is a stand-alone story, and the reader is never left with a cliffhanger ending waiting for the next novel to figure out what happened.<\/p>\n
