You might be familiar with a gentleman named Tom Pinchuk that has been writing for Comic Vine for the past few months. Not only is he a staff writer for us, he is also an actual comic book writer. His comic, Hybrid Bastards! had the first two issues released but long story short, the rest of the series wasn't released...until now. 
 
Archaia Entertainment is proud to announce that the Hybrid Bastards! hardcover is now here. You can watch an interview with Tom HERE from back in October where he discusses the book a little.

 == TEASER ==
 

Zeus is a god with a reputation for lechery, and it’s been driving his wife Hera nuts for years. Reaching her limit one night, she puts together an epic practical joke: She places a spell on Zeus that makes him fall in lust with every inanimate object in sight! It was a night Zeus doesn’t remember, but his godly seed took root nevertheless. Now, 18 years later, his unnatural hybrid bastards wander the world. And because Zeus has a reputation to protect, these embarrassing freaks have got to go! But this motley crew refuses to go quietly. Through schemes both ingenious and idiotic, Zeus’ bastard children—Cotton, a smarmy cloth patchwork; Carmine, a timid automobile; Corey, a self-loathing apple; Walter, a belligerent stack of bricks; and Panos, their gallant would-be leader—will force their negligent father to acknowledge them…that is, if their own squabbling doesn’t defeat them first! Collecting the mini-series that takes Greek mythology in a decidedly different direction, the HYBRID BASTARDS hardcover includes a bonus story and pin-up gallery.
