Cartoonist Brandon Graham kicks off his four-city tour this afternoon in support of Multiple Warheads: Alphabet to Infinity, his new Image Comics miniseries about organ smugglers in a futuristic Russia. If that's not high-concept enough for you, there's the actual solicitation text: "Sexica and her Werewolf boyfriend Nikoli travel across a sci-fi, fantasy Russia smoking singing cigarettes. Meanwhile the organ hunter Nura is sent out with a severed head and instructions to find its body."

If the characters sound vaguely familiar, it's because the project has its roots in Graham's 2007 Oni Press one-shot, simply titled Multiple Warheads. However, this new four-issue tale, which debuts today, is all-new and in full color.

Graham's tour begins at 5 p.m. today with a signing in Anaheim, California, and then continuing on to Austin, Texas, and St. Louis, Missouri, before wrapping up Saturday in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Each of the four stores will have an exclusive edition of the 48-page first issue, complete with a wraparound variant cover by Graham.

You can read a preview of the first issue of Multiple Warheads: Alphabet to Infinity at Comic Book Resources, and check out the tour breakdown below.
