Avatar Press will be back in a big way at this year’s C2E2 pop culture extravaganza, held next Friday through Sunday, March 18-20. Head honcho William Christensen will bring five of Avatar’s most beloved artists to the show, as well as Rich Johnston, the mad architect behind the Bleeding Cool news and gossip website!

They’ve got a nasty new cover variant of CROSSED: PSYCHOPATH #1 showing a sinister take on America’s favorite pastime (see the image at the left), plus three other rare comic book variants, the red-hot CROSSED trading card series, four spectacular art prints, and much more!

It’s a really sweet deal, especially considering that we’ll have Mike Wolfer, Jacen Burrows, and many other terrific artists on site to autograph the swag!

David Lapham (STRAY BULLETS, the upcoming CALIGULA) and artist Raulo Caceres (CAPTAIN SWING) descend into a story about the worst aspects of human behavior, a tale of unspeakable evils, violent assaults on both mind and body, and the longing for death and the sweet release it will bring.
