Bet you weren't expecting this.

Tales of The Unexpected #1



(W) David Lapham and Brian Azzarello
(A) Eric Battle, Prentis Rollins, and Cliff Chiang

Fun story with skeptic Dr. 13. Has that Nextwave (Click to read first issue on Marvel.com) feeling.

What Newsarama says: This first installment gives me hope that DC may once again be a top contender for the title of best horror comics publisher as they were decades ago with titles like House of Mystery and House of Secrets. As an added bonus, a second feature will accompany each issue of this series. Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang will be presenting the new adventures of myth-debunker Dr. 13. From what could be ascertained in this initial portion of the story, the back-up will be used as a form of comic relief with humor rising from the interaction of a non-believer with that which is beyond belief. There's even an appearance by a certain vampiric staple of DC's past horror efforts.
