John Layman (w); Dave Crosland (a)
IDW presents a collection of one of the most darkly hilarious comics to come along in
recent years, Puffed, finally available in a stunning deluxe trade paperback. By day,

the ‘hood. Written by John Layman (Gambit) with spectacular art by Dave Crosland
(Heaven LLC). The Unauthorized Puffed Movie Adaptation collects the entire

are-they-now follow up one-shot, Stay Puffed, and a brand-new story, “Mo’ Puffed.” This
definitive Puffed collection also features “director’s cut” extra scenes, as well as an all-
star pin-up and cover gallery of comic superstars John Cassaday, Frank Quitely, Sam
Kieth, Ashley Wood, Jim Mahfood and many more.

SAVAGE WORLD #1
by C. Edward Sellner & H.G. Young
The day came that the world as we know it ended, and on that day, Earth itself began to
die. No one knows what happened, what caused the devastation that swept away cities,
crumbled the nations and shattered the world. All they know is that it has only gotten
worse since. Now, 10,000 years later, humanity is dying out. Forced to live in a world
literally being torn apart in space and time, hunted by strange creatures that now walk the
Earth in the shadows, and enslaved by the living dead, alien wizards and demons,
humankind may be facing extinction. One young man just may be the savior of humanity,
or else, the bringer of their final doom. His name is Savage and his destiny shall be
legend. Young Savage sets out upon the path to his destiny, and on the day he is to
become a man, he must face the staggering terror of his people's worst nightmares... The
Revenants! If that were not enough, waiting for him in the flames of his future, is the
monster Dragon-King, who bears a blade that will change the young man's life forever.
This is where it all begins!

Definitivamente, ULTRA y DEMO fueron los mejores títulos independientes del 2004, y sin duda GIRLS va a ser el sleeper hit del 2005...
