This summer, Adam Jensen continues his technologically augmented adventures in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The video game picks up a few years after the events of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, in which Jensen attempted to stop the Illuminati's plans to ruin advances in transhumanism. Unfortunately because Mankind Divided is a prequel to the original Deus Ex, the events of the Panchaea Incident, in which augmented humans go on a hallucinatory rampage brought about by the Illuminati, are unavoidable. The only thing Jensen can do is choose just how much of the truth the public learns about what really happened on that fateful day. In Mankind Divided, the augmented populace is a minority fighting for equality, though the efforts have been set back by the Panchaea Incident and a rise in terrorist activity in the years since. Jensen is now a member of a global coalition that attempts to quell the insurgences, and he must delicately balance his own opinions as an augmented human with those of his employers and the people of the world in fear for their lives on both sides of the conflict. Before Mankind Divided arrives, Titan Comics will release a prequel comic to the prequel sequel which is also still a prequel, which will detail Jensen's first mission with Task Force 29.

Back when Disney acquired Marvel in 2010, people wondered how long it would be before the publisher became Mickey Mouse Comics.That quite clearly hasn't happened --the publisher putting out most of the Mickey Mouse comics coming out right now is Fantagraphics -- but that doesn't mean that Disney isn't ripe for some sharp satire in the pages of some independent comics. Enter Rickey Rouse Has a Gun, the new graphic novel by writer/director Jörg Tittel and artist John Aggs. In it, the title character (who is definitely a Rouse, not a mouse; the guy inside the costume is named Rick Rouse) deserts the U.S. Army and goes to work at a Fengxian Amusement Park, a Chinese theme park populated by such classic characters as "Ratman" and "Bumbo." But then terrorists attack and Ricky has to take charge.
