Frank Miller is Falling In Love On The Path To Hell with this #5 variant tiered cover with Jock, from Image Comics, out in October.
It is traditional that any new Frank Miller cover for anything become controversial from one side of another. His recent cover with Jock for Absolute Batman #1 certainly hit that sweet spot, and joined the likes of Wolverine, Uncle Scrooge and The Thing. But this is for something less tied up in existing IP, rather it's Frank Miller and Jock's 1:10 tiered cover B to Gerry Duggan and Garry Brown's love story in hellfrom Image Comics, Falling in Love on the Path to Hell #5. The comic goes to FOC not this weekend but next.

NEW STORY ARC
Your new favorite ongoing begins its second arc. The lovers have met, and the sparks of love are igniting. Asami & MacRaith are fighting their feelings for each other...they're also fighting the warrior cult they've spurned and some new hidden forest enemies. Plus, some looks backward at the choices they made in life that lead them to hell. This series is stabby, shooty, and horny, and you know you need it.
"Hearing that FRANK MILLER enjoyed the debut issue of FALLING IN LOVE ON THE PATH TO HELL sent me into orbit. Frank's directly responsible for my brain marinating in samurai culture, Ronin is a timeless masterpiece and his indelible overs to the American reprints of Lone Wolf and Cub were my gateway into one of the best comics ever made. It's not hyperbole to say our comic wouldn't exist without the inspiration from Frank. Our entire team is delighted and grateful that Frank is sharing his talent on a guest cover for the start of our second arc. A true dream come true." -- GERRY DUGGAN

Frank's indelible art has inspired us for years, and we're thrilled that he agreed to share his immense talent for October's FALLING IN LOVE ON THE PATH TO HELL guest cover. We also want to thank Jock for the sublime colors, Frank's producing partner Silenn Thomas and to everyone at Frank Miller Inc and Image Comics.
