Femforce #172
Synopsis: While the FEMFORCE team struggles with internal problems and SHE-CAT’s personal life gets MORE muddled, a mysterious threat stalks. On Dhagor, NIGHTVEIL faces both her mentor AZAGOTH and the villainous VIVARNA. STARDUST remembers more dark secrets from her past, The BLUE BULLETEER risks a haunted house and TARA races to victory.
Recent events at FFHQ have left security there compromised, and even as our intrepid heroines try to decide what to do about the situation, a sinister entity plots to take advantage of it. SHE-CAT seems determined to pick up the threads of her ill-fated relationship with Jack Hughes, but three obstacles stand in the way- former beau Mike(The SCARLET SCORPION) McCluskey, a strange group of freakish misfits- AND Hughes himself. NIGHTVEIL, still without her Cloak of Darkness and alone on Dark Dhagor, must deal with her mentor AZAGOTH’s disappointment at her loss of the powerful mystic artifact while helping the Dhagorians throw off the oppressive yoke of the evil VIVARNA. In a pensive moment, STARDUST once again thinks back on the shameful incident from her formative years that led to her abandonment of her Rurian roots. Also out of the past, Laura(The BLUE BULLETEER) Wiight has a brush with supernatural forces long before her days as NIGHTVEIL, in a haunted house story set in the late 1940’s, and a young TARA wins a key prize while upending the malignant forces working against her. As always, this issue of FEMFORCE is 80 pages of great ”good girl” art action and adventure featuring the FF team in both group and solo action. No staunch FF fan can possibly be disappointed.
If you LOVE your FEMFORCE book just the way it is, order your copy and you’ll get just that BUT- for fans looking for something a little bit DIFFERENT, we’re trying something NEW for AC in conjunction with FEMFORCE #172. Recently, we “April Fooled” online about the possibility of a new FREESTANDING title devoted to GIANT-SIZED females; to be called (appropriately enough) GIANTESS COMICS.

The response from interested readers was impressive enough that we are going to try out the title. In the past, we’ve done experiments like this in a “flip-book” format, basically sharing space in an issue of FEMFORCE. This didn’t always make hardcore FF readers happy, with the perception being that such “guest-features” could be cutting into the total number of actual FEMFORCE pages in the given issue they might appear in. Well, not THIS time; we are debuting GIANTESS COMICS #1 as a separate, complete, freestanding 24-page black and white full-sized comic book (with it’s own spectacular full-color painted cover by Paolo Bodini)- NOT in any way a part of FF #172. If THAT’S not enough, to promote this new title and concept, we are offering the book ABSOLUTELY FREE, one copy available with every THREE copies of FEMFORCE #172 purchased.
If you HAVE to get a copy of GIANTESS COMICS #1, just make sure that your smiling local comic book retailer orders you three copies of FF #172- and tell him you WANT the FREE GIANTESS COMICS #1 that comes with them. It’ll be wall-to-wall giantees action, written by genre specialists including Eric Johnson and Eric Lindberg, with superb art by the same AC regulars that illustrate FEMFORCE every issue. If this special promotion is well-received, we will consider making GIANTESS COMICS an ongoing title in future. So- anybody out there that remembers our late, lamented GARANTARAMA-THE COMIC BOOK feature- or just wants to see AC do more giant woman stories in general, make sure your retailer orders enough copies of FF #172 to make this free offer a success. So order FEMFORCE #172 for August through the June 2015 Previews catalog,with your local comics retailer to get 80 pages of great GGA action, AND a chance to get a FREE GIANTESS COMICS #1.!!
