Avatar Plug Of The Week: Caligula #3 by David Lapham and German Nobile

You've been good boys and girls so here's an Avatar Plug Of The Week for Caligula #3, shipping tomorrow, from David Lapham and German Nobile.

Nasty nasty Roman court stuff that makes Hostel 2 look like The Care Bears Movie and Spartacus: Blood On The Sand look like My Hungry Caterpillar.

Really, you should be shot for even thinking of buying this. A Comic Shop say it should win an Eisner, but it won't, it's an Avatar book. Here's the solicitation. Find it in all wrong-thinking comic shops tomorrow…

David (Crossed) Lapham unveils a new tale of ancient Rome and the most feared emperor of all time. The one name that still speaks volumes of how absolute power can corrupt – Caligula. Things in Rome are reaching the breaking point. Caligula's madness is becoming apparent to some. He must go. However successfully acting on it is a very different matter. Virgin blood ceremonies, gladiator fights rigged for added brutality, and dinner parties where guests are randomly slaughtered, is there any limit to Caligula's depravity? Can Felix keep his focus and sanity in the face of so much misery and horror? A modern master of horror, Lapham digs deep into the world of Rome 37 AD and offers a unique epic of sin. Joined by new talent German Nobile who promises to serve up fully-painted pages dripping with blood, this all-new, full-color series will be six issues of evil that will make any Crossed fan smile with glee. For in the age of Caligula, all roads lead to Hell. Caligula #3 is available with a Regular cover by Jacen Burrows, a Wraparound cover by series artist German Nobile, and a special rare Golden retailer incentive.
