Photoshoot variant with series co-writer and Bad Omens lead singer Noah Sebastian.
From the mega-viral and chart-topping band known as Bad Omens comes this comic series based on their newest record, The Death of Peace of Mind.
Bad Omens is one of many crime syndicates that operate in the largest district of the lawless and predominantly self-governed Concrete Jungle. Their members toe-the-line morally when it comes to their revolving door of methods and motives, but in the end they could be the antiheroes the city needs and the true kings of the concrete jungle.
After the Bad Omens take possession of a local museum containing some of the last art pieces not in possession of "You Know Who," they face off against the previous owner - a vicious crime lord who won't let his property go without a fight. A high-octane battle breaks out amongst the priceless artifacts packed with gun fu à la JOHN WICK!

We’ve teamed up with The Dillinger Escape Plan for a graphic novel.
“A string of assassinations made by a politically motivated killer known only to the public as The Quill serves as the spark to ignite a full-scale revolution.”
Bundles featuring vinyl and more available soon.
Sumerian Comics announced today "One Of Us Is The Killer", a brand new graphic novel inspired by the 2013 fifth studio album from mathcore band THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN and from "Rock & Roll Hell" creators Sam Romesburg and Ben Roberts, visionary artist Greg Di Angilla ("Rock & Roll Hell"),...
A routine traffic stop for two Serbian beat cops quickly descends into corruption and betrayal as a dark trail of evidence leads to the discovery of unimaginable depravity.
Mark Waid says SOKO is "Energetic and kinetic as hell, it gripped me from page one and wouldn't let go."
Here's your preview of SOKO #1, available at your local comic shop April 12th.
Part one of a four part novel adaptation series:
Lee Anderson, twenty-six years old, leaves his hometown after the death of his African American brother, lynched because he was in love with a Caucasian woman.
He ends up in Buckton, a small town in the Southern United States, where he becomes a bookstore manager. Tall, well-built, happy to pay for drinks and a skilled blues musician, Lee leads a life of debauchery after he gets mixed in with a small local gang in need of alcohol. However, he hasn’t lost sight of his true objective: to avenge the death of his brother.
Far removed from the usual novels by Boris Vian, this story is probably the most violent, the rawest and at the same time the most representative of the "Vernon Sullivan" style.
Through a harsh story where violent sexuality is omnipresent, Vian denounces the prevailing racism and the precarious condition of African American's in the South of the United States.
I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVES #1, coming soon.
Coming soon! Gun Crazy #1
The wild ride of Dolly Sanchez & Lanoya O'Brien, two women ready to do absolutely anything to make their dream of a better life a reality. They also don't hesitate to destroy everything in their way when they are faced with racist white trash bumpkins. This off-the-walls, ultra-violent, and humorous road trip plunges us into the heart of redneck America plagued by neo-Nazi superheroes and serial killers who indulge without restraint into their life and death impulses. At the crossroads of Tarantino films, VHS movies, and the 80s, this modern western full of surprises is put into comic book format by a duo of thrilling creators and your friends at sumerian!
Coming soon, VALHALLA HOTEL #1.
The only place where you are promised... eternal rest.
On their way to the regional finals of the Albuquerque Table Tennis Championship, Lemmy and his indescribable mentor, Coach Malone, break down with their Fiat 500 on the 380. A few miles away lies Flatstone, a small town in the heart of New Mexico with its homophobic and stubborn sheriff coming to save their day. A bit of “red tape” later, they finally find refuge in the only motel in the area, the Valhalla Hotel, run by an intriguing woman, Frau Vinkler. But in the early morning, Lemmy disappeares. Malone obviously goes looking for him... Fighting scenes worthy of a Tarantino tag in a setting as arid as the throat of El Loco, pursuits in supercharged cars, former N***s in skin tight pants, redneck schnapps morons (whatever that means), a strange girl with blue eyes, pigmen, blood, dust, lukewarm beer, a good dose of heavy metal, a pinch of suspense, and above all a lot, a lot of black humor...

Into the belly of the beast.
Japan, March 11, 2011. A terrible earthquake gives birth to an immense wave, which hits the northeast of the country with full force. This is where the Fukushima-Daiichi power plant is located, among others... With incredible violence, the cataclysm then causes the worst nuclear accident of the 21st century. How to react to the chaos generated? What to do when the inconceivable has just happened? Masao Yoshida must respond urgently. His country's reputation is at stake, the lives of his employees and fellow citizens depend on it. In a completely devastated universe, where the buildings are plunged into darkness, while the explosions multiply and the radiations are always more toxic, the director of the power station shows an ingenuity and a coolness beyond of the common.
Fukushima #1 is coming soon.
