AMERICANS UK #2 is 29 pages of science fiction, rock n' roll awesomeness. Featuring the art of Paul Ciaravino, ZEES, Anthony Fleecs, and Ben Rosen, we tell stories to amaze. "The Man From the Future" continues the adventures of Jef UK and JTR3 as they travel through time to save their murdered band mates, as witnessed in the harrowing AMERICANS UK #1. "I, Ape-Man" follows the trials of a thirty-something mutant running wild across a post-apocalyptic nightmare city, as first told in a song bearing the same title, performed by AM/UK. "The Better Head" presents the ramblings of a mad scientist locked in psychological combat with one of his experiments. Thrill. Chill. Dance. Americans UK was the greatest rock band you'd never heard of until the day their guitarist and bassist were murdered. Frontman Jef UK and drummer JTR3 have since gone missing, but the police don't have a clue as to what went down. But you already know all that. Here's what you don't know: JTR3 is actually an android from the future sent back to our time to stop these murders from ever happening, alter history, and save all of rock n' roll. Boy, has he blown it! So now Jef UK and his robot buddy are bounding through time, rocking out the greatest science-fiction adventure since that one time Bowie was abducted by aliens in 1972.

Here, the first truly independent A.I. is created, and lost. When the A.I. resurfaces years later, it makes an enemy of the CEO that runs the corporation, after she accesses his highly classified files. On the run with her three children, Sophia decides that in order to survive, they must flee their digital world for that of flesh and bone. With the help of her creator, they grow human bodies and genetically encode them with their digital memories. Growing human bodies was the easy part, getting away in one piece is the challenge. 12p preview of Ruin, Issue 3 Written by TOM PINCHUK Artwork by MIKE GALLAGHER BLACK ZERO's final showdown with CARNUS looms, but the killing machine might not even make the date.

In Training -- a tale of far-future wars and those who will fight them The Path to Salvation -- a former samurai turned monk must save a Japanese mountain village from the flesh-eating Rasetsu demon “It’s only natural that Alan, the broadminded hero of Doctorow’s fresh, unconventional SF novel, is willing to help everybody he meets. After all, he’s the product of a mixed marriage (his father is a mountain and his mother is a washing machine), so he knows how much being an outcast can hurt. Alan tries desperately to behave like a human being–or at least like his idealized version of one. He joins a cyber-anarchist’s plot to spread a free wireless Internet through Toronto at the same time he agrees to protect his youngest brothers (members of a set of Russian nesting dolls) from their dead brother who’s now resurrected and bent on revenge.” --Publisher's Weekly This book is distributed under a Creative Commons license.
