Turner covers VIOLENT MESSIAHS

The first issue of Image Comics' VIOLENT MESSIAHS: LAMENTING PAIN will feature an alternate cover by FATHOM artist Michael Turner, with proceeds from its sales going to ACTOR (A Commitment To Our Roots).

The piece depicts the series' newest vigilante, Scalpel, bathed in eerie moonlight and awash in a sea of blood.

"Personally speaking, VIOLENT MESSIAHS has been one of my favorite books right from the get-go, so I'm very happy we could do a fundraiser in conjunction with the title," says ACTOR President Jim McLauchlin. "It's also great to link up talented creators such as Michael Turner and Peter Stiegerwald with the VM crew, and expand everyone's circle of friends. I think Mike and Peter did a stunning job on this piece. I hope we sell a boatload of copies and raise a lot of dough for the cause."

"We have been staunch supporters of ACTOR since its inception, and VIOLENT MESSIAHS artist Tone Rodriguez has donated original art for each of their auctions in the past," says VIOLENT MESSIAHS editor Jan Utstein-O'Neill. "When Jim came to us with the idea of doing something special for VM: LAMENTING PAIN #1, we were more than happy to help. And, of course, working with artists of Michael and Peter's caliber only makes it sweeter."

VIOLENT MESSIAHS: LAMENTING PAIN #1 will ship in September.
