New in Comics: Jericho Season 4 Begins!

A few choice selections from the comics due out August 8th:

Jericho Season 4 #1 (of 5) (Release Revised to Aug 15th)
IDW

Description: Overseen by the original writing staff of the television series, Jericho is back with a vengeance, with a whole new chapter of stories told in the show's official continuity. If you are a fan of Jericho you cannot afford to miss this compelling all-new series!

In the tradition of nail-biting suspense and intrigue that fans of the show-and the comic-have come to expect and love, Jericho Season Four picks up where Season Three left off. Though Jake and Hawkins are happy to be back in Jericho, the challenges they face are daunting.

Not only are they fugitives in their own hometown, but they find themselves forced to play host to the newest member of the Jericho community-John Smith...a man who some know as a friend of the resistance, but who Jake and Hawkins know as the man behind the September Attacks.

Only they know his secret. And only they can stop him from committing another heinous act.

Description: Red Circle Comics presents 'Ashes to Ashes,' Part One! Our world demands heroes, and a new generation must rise! Over a decade ago, the super hero team known as The Mighty Crusaders did the impossible: they won. Successful in their battle against evil and finding they'd made the world a better place, the heroes settled down to the small town of Red Circle to start families, unwind and take a much-deserved rest. When the quiet town is rocked by the return of the ultimate evil, the super hero residents are obliterated! It's up to their heirs to fight for justice and crusade against evil. They are our last, best hope. They are The New Crusaders!
