International Enterprise has started its San Diego Countdown by announcing Image Comics as the latest addition to the Enterprise family with three of their best titles. The sci-fi crime thriller SMALL GODS, along with graphic novels from Michael Avon Oeming such as SIX and 86 VOLTZ, are the first wave of Image titles to find their international representation through the Enterprise.

Image Comics are published in territories all over the world with the strength of a brand name that gurantees sales. With International Enterprise and its services, Image hopes to expand their fan bases in territories world-wide and bring in more profits and exposure for their titles and creators.

The addition of the third largest comic publisher to the Enterprise roster is a reunion of sorts for International Rights Manager Tim Hegarty. "I have experience working with all three of these titles and Image itself," admits Hegarty, who helped represent Image's foreign rights for three years. "I'm looking forward to working with them all again and bringing more Image Comics to readers world-wide."

The first story arc of SMALL GODS is contained in the four-issue KILLING GRIN storyline, also collected as a trade. In the world of Small Gods, one person out of every hundred possesses some type of psychic ability. Like Detective Owen Young, who can see crimes before they occur. But his special abilities land him in hot water when a telepathic bank robber uncovers a dark secret that could land Owen – and anyone who tries to help him – in prison. Small Gods: Killing Grin is written by Jason Rand, with black-and-white artwork by Juan Ferreyra, and is available in all territories through International Enterprise.

Michael Avon Oeming contributes two of his latest graphic novels for foreign licensing consideration. In the 56-page graphic novel SIX, Agent Six is sent here to retrieve defectors from Command, but everything is not as it seems... because Six wasn't sent from just another country, he was sent from another plane of existence. Ethan Beavers provides artwork with Oeming in this chilling black-and-white adventure.

Another exceptional graphic novella from Oeming, 86 VOLTZ: THE DEAD GIRL is written by Oeming's QUIXOTE co-writer Brian J.L. Glass with illustrations by Oeming and Robert Hack. This 56-page black-and-white graphic novel tells a unique tale of suspense and horror, where a mere 86 voltz of electricity could be the only thing that could save one living soul from dying. 86 Voltz is now available world-wide through International Enterprise.

Small Gods, Six and 86 Voltz are currently available for foreign licensing through International Enterprise. The San Diego Countdown will continue with further announcements of the biggest names in comics signing on board. Please contact us with any interest, questions or concerns.
