Description

Revisit New York Times best-selling writer Mike Carey (LUCIFER, X-MEN) and modern comic art phenomenon Jonathan Wayshak’s (SPAWN: VIOLATOR) critically-acclaimed smash-hit with this special Anniversary Edition absolutely stuffed with a wealth of bonus material exclusive to this edition. Featuring character designs, a cover gallery complete with never-before-seen alternate cover layouts, and Mike Carey and Jonathan Wayshak’s script-to-page process this special offers an unprecedented look under the hood of a modern masterpiece. What lurking evil lies hidden at the end of the cul-de-sac? Nestled in a tucked-away corner of sleepy suburbia, the Kingsley, Herriman and Ortega families seemed like any other close-knit neighbors. So nothing seems amiss when Mrs. Kingsley piles all the neighborhood kids into the family RV for their annual summer camp-out. But in the dark of the woods, she unleashes a grisly, bloodcurdling display, revealing their families’ shocking secret—their parents are vampires and they’re eager to pass on their legacy. Now the children must choose—to join them and revel in their awesome dark powers or live out their lives as mortals. But when they return home, they confront a gruesome scene—their parents dead on the floor, brutally murdered by an elite squad of vampire hunters. And the hunters? They’re looking to finish the job. Now the kids are on the run, chased by vampire hunters, the police, and even a shadowy cabal of their fellow vampires as they search for answers to unlock the secret of what they really are before their fates are sealed forever.

Description

Eisner Award-nominated writer Joshua Dysart (UNKNOWN SOLDIER) and world-renowned comic artist David Lapham (THE HAB) unleash a desperate, drag-out fight for survival in the nerve-shredding finale to 2026’s modern horror masterpiece. A parasitic fungus has waited for millennia deep beneath The Hab, locked away behind an ancient stone seal, yearning to see the sky once more. They let it out. Now the Hab crew is dead, their corpses hijacked to further the spread of a viral hivemind. Mina’s still alive…for now. But The Hab is closing in around her. And every breath of spore-choked air drags her deeper into the collective consciousness threatening to erase her completely. Her only hope is escape. But the undead are swarming, the exits are gone, and the hivemnd won’t let Mina leave The Hab without a fight…at least not on her own. Not when there’s an entire world waiting to be colonized.

For the first time, Hank must team-up with Big Caligula’s Southeast Regional Manager Barb Knox, to recover the stolen whip. Together they’ll go full-throttle in a high-speed pursuit of justice, facing down a barrage of bullets, high-octane explosions, and two pizza perps who are willing to do whatever it takes to get away clean.

Description

New York Times best-selling writer Mike Costa and superstar-in-the-making, Jake Baker deliver a savage, all-too-plausible action thriller set in a near-future where side hustles have become a literal hunt for survival. In the near future, if you need extra cash, you open an app. Accept a hunt. Get paid to exterminate whatever dangerous species is overrunning your part of the world. Coyotes in California. King cobras in Mumbai. Feral camels in Australia. Vampire bats in Brazil. If it threatens people, property, or profit, LANCER puts a bounty on its head. For military vets like Pete Sanborn, it offers something modern life rarely does anymore: a mission, a paycheck, and the hope that one more job might finally be enough. Two years after a wild hog hunt in Texas went catastrophically wrong, Sanborn has sworn he is done with the app. Then an old military buddy shows up with an offer he can’t refuse. Something enormous is living beneath New York City. The payout is life-changing. But the creatures below are not what anyone thinks they are, and by the time Sanborn understands what they are really hunting, it may already be too late. Think Aliens, Predator, Jurassic Park, and RoboCop. The Colonial Marines meet DoorDash. Clock in. Hunt. Survive. Get paid. It's a living.

Bound to the deep space megalith he once sought to destroy, Baltimore beat cop Jack Casey must pilot the massive mecha-robot it has become if Earth has a prayer of surviving the incoming assault. Because a massive, 100-story alien predator has breached Earth’s atmosphere, careening towards the heart of Baltimore. Its mission? To claim a tactical victory in this universal war by conquering the planet. Brace yourself for a pulse-pounding final showdown unlike anything you’ve seen in comics before.

Description

New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti and powerhouse artist Trevor Hairsine return for a surprise continuation of their smash-hit series to bring forth a new character to the ORDAINED mythos. Ex Army Ranger Specialist Julie Lorello is a live grenade with the pin pulled…and she’s ready to explode. Court martialed and discharged after a series of uncertain killings made in the fog of war, Julie is cut loose. Directionless, she’s set adrift in an endless sea of violence that leads her to Father Roy’s doorstep. With Cormac Byrne dead and a power void left in his wake, Saint Louis is ripe for the taking and the Russian mob know just how to do it – by killing the man who took apart the Irish and dispatched THE MACHINE. To save the mentor who showed her another path was possible, Julie must revert to the killer instincts from a life she’s tried to leave behind and unleash the violence within.

Description

Blockbuster screenwriter Derek Kolstad, creator and writer of the internationally acclaimed, box office dominating motion picture franchise JOHN WICK, New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (SUPERMAN ‘78), and Eisner Award-winning illustrator Alex Maleev (DAREDEVIL), hit the accelerator in the next issue of their white-knuckle, globe-spanning action/spy thrill ride. High-end repo man Cole Norton has taken on a new gig. He’s been hired by the US government to sneak into Russia to steal one of their bleeding edge next-generation fighter jets – the deadly Spearhead – in exchange for a cool $50 million. Any US agent tasked with gathering intelligence on the Spearhead program has been eliminated…including CIA special operative Breck Stanton, Cole’s former Air Force co-pilot and best friend. With Breck murdered on the streets of Moscow, it’s up to Cole to recover the intel Breck died to protect. But the muderous FSB agent Kovalev is hot on his trail and he’ll stop at nothing to kill Cole and bury the stolen state secrets with him.
