If you're still undecided about picking up the collection of Change, out today from Image Comics, your decision may have just gotten a whole lot easier: The first issue of the apocalyptic miniseries by Ales Kot and Morgan Jeske is now available for free online from Image, comiXology and, as a PDF, the writer's website.

"It’s apocalypse in Los Angeles; apocalypse as a universal event, apocalypse as a personal event," Kos writes. "Change is a SF action thriller that will, hopefully, bend your mind something fresh."

ROBOT 6's Mark Kardwell made the trade paperback his pick of the week, ."It has a fairly pulpy-sounding plot: Lovecraftian creatures bring about the end of the world [...] but Kot is too interesting a writer for the story to play out in anything other than an original manner." You can get a little sneak peek below.
