Check it out, kids, Steve’s got a new one-shot coming from Image Comics this June called “The Cryptics!” Steve’s joined on this book by artist Ben Roman, who’s doing a bang-up job on Tokyopop’s “I Luv Halloween.” Once you take a look at these pages, it’s clear these two were meant to work together. We’ve got the full solicitation text for you to read, plus the cover and three interior pages for you to sample. Good times!
