Faker #1 (of 6) (Mr)

(W) Mike Carey (A/CA) Jock. Written by Mike Carey Art and cover by Jock In the numbing cold of a Minnesota winter* Jessie Kidby and her freshman friends kick off their second semester with a wild party. But in the aftermath of the big blow-out* things start to go horribly wrong for all of them. Jessie is troubled by nasty memories she's been suppressing for years* while her best friend Nick Philo has become an un-person: Nobody outside their tight-knit little clique can remember seeing him before* and his records have been erased from the college's computers. At first* it doesn't seem like a big deal* but it becomes increasingly obvious that one of them is not what he appears to be. Chock full of ruthless characters with hidden agendas* FAKER takes place during freshman year in college; the ultimate time of reinvention* where* if you're up for it* you can lie* cheat and fake your way through almost anything. FAKER is by the Eisner-nominated team of Mike Carey (LUCIFER* CROSSING MIDNIGHT) and Jock (THE LOSERS). On sale July 5 * 1 of 6 * 32 pg* FC* $2.99 US * MATURE READERS
