JOE CASEY (W) and STEVE PARKHOUSE (A) On sale July 7, FC, 32pg, $2.99 FOR MATURE READERS The most horrific of all Dark Horse's new brand of horror comics comes from the mind of Joe Casey?mainstream superstar (Superman, X-Men, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes) and visionary, alternative voice (WildC.A.T.S. Version 3.0, Automatic Kafka)? and Steve Parkhouse, who exposed the absurd side of British suburban life in his collaboration with Alan Moore on The Bojeffries Saga, and later took on global madness in Grant Morrison's The Invisibles. Now the two turn their attention to the depraved American suburb, where a forlorn housewife faces facts about the American Dream. The unraveling of her hopes leads to unprecedented terror, heralded by a demonic vision from some twisted parody of a Norman Rockwell image as painted by serial-killing folk-artist John Wayne Gacy?The Milkman. Cover price $2.99.

JOE CASEY (W) and STEVE PARKHOUSE (A) FOR MATURE READERS On sale August 4, FC, 32pg, $2.99 Suburbia never looked so bleak... The promiscuous daughter, the sadistic son, and the drug-addled, abusive husband all do their parts to erode our housekeeping heroine's last scrap of sanity in the wake of last issue's horrific events. Joe Casey spins a yarn more twisted than his weirdest Batman book, more out of this world than The X-Men. Steve Parkhouse, who showed the monstrous side of suburban England with Alan Moore in Bojeffries Saga, goes into a deeper, scarier world as the Milkman Murders continue. Cover price $2.99.

All right, suburbia always looks bleak, but when mom dips into dad's meth stash, and he goes nuts and puts her head through the bathroom mirror, things are off to a rough start for the third issue of this hilariously dark sitcom? and things get a lot more grisly from there. Our typical American housewife has finally had just a little too much of her hideous, deranged family, and she takes a simple word of advice from TV's perfect 1950s mom?"Discipline." Face the ugly facts about the American Dream with Joe Casey (Superman, X-Men, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Wildcats Version 3.0) and Steve Parkhouse (The Bojeffries Saga, The Invisibles).
