Online dating meets courtly love in this paranormal rom-com by Vertigo veteran writer Peter Milligan and rising art star Brett Parson (Tank Girl).

Now, while Lexy searches for the famous rhymer and the New Romancer dating site teeters on the brink of oblivion, Lexy's beautiful but dangerous successor at Incubator takes an unhealthy interest in the libertine Lord. Meanwhile, a crazed Casanova seeks a perverse type of love in Silicon Valley'

It’s the most romantic time of the year! Yes, that time when Casanova tries to have Lord Byron for dinner, Lexy discovers something shocking inside the mysterious Incubator building and infamous spy Mata Hari tries to reunite with a long-dead lover.

All this and a candlelit dinner on the Golden Gate Bridge in the special Valentine’s Day issue!

Romantic and brilliant coder Lexy Ryan finally gets her wish: a St. Valentine’s dinner with her dream lover, Lord Byron. But dreams rarely work out the way we want, and when Mata Hari leads her army of cheating husbands onto the Golden Gate Bridge, jaded fantasy quickly turns to full-scale nightmare. Taken prisoner, Lexy and her father clash as the horrible truth about Lexy’s mother’s death is revealed, while Incubator ice-queen Angel gives Byron a terrible ultimatum.

Awkward and adorable coder Lexy saved romantic poet Byron from a miserable death. Now, can he forget about his quiff long enough to return the favor? Meanwhile, dancer, courtesan and spy Mata Hari puts her ultimate scheme in motion-while the New Romancer web team discovers their “love algorithm” is having a terrifying impact on America’s lonely hearts.

Byron has asked adorable geek Lexy to marry him-but is it true love, or just part of Incubator’s cruel A.I. experiment? Meanwhile, what has Mata Hari planned for Lexy’s dad? And will computer genius Ada Lovelace ever escape from cyber space? These and other questions will be answered, just make sure you’re at the church on time for the conclusion to this strangest of modern romances!

ISN’T IT BYRONIC? He lived fast, died young, and left a good-looking (if a bit bloody) corpse—not to mention an incredible wealth of poetry and an immortal reputation for romance. He was the 6th Baron Byron of Rochdale, better known as Lord Byron—the original bad boy of British literature. She is a 24-year-old computer genius with a serious fixation on old authors—Lord Byron in particular. Her name is Alexia Ryan, and her singular upbringing has molded her into the perfect coder to bring the struggling New Romancer dating site into the big leagues. But like a modern-day Prometheus, Lexy’s revolutionary software is built with stolen parts—and bringing it to life will have some very unintended consequences. To wit: a reanimated Lord Byron, suave and randy as ever, walking the streets of Silicon Valley some 200 years after his celebrated death. Will Lexy find a new love for the ages with this preternatural poet? Or will the forces she has unwittingly unleashed consign them both to the ash-heap of history? Comics legend Peter Milligan and acclaimed artist Brett Parson take up Cupid’s bow in NEW ROMANCERS, a Digital Age bodice-ripper for the hopeless romantic in all of us!
