RACHEL'S PICK OF THE WEEK:

The Last Driver #1

AMERICA, THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE — NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE...EXCEPT FOR HIM!

As technology in America advanced, cities began creating the GRID — a robotic transportation system that not only made cars obsolete, it made them illegal. But an outlaw named “Clutch” has no choice but to get behind the wheel one more time. What starts out as a race to save his granddaughter's life quickly turns into a rebellion against technology, fascism, and the future of a divided America.

Superstar artist and longtime gearhead SEAN GORDON MURPHY (Batman: White Knight, TOKYO GHOST, Punk Rock Jesus, The Wake) writes and draws this highly anticipated ongoing series.

Bug Wars: The Coming of The Wardoom #1

The backyard battlefield heats up and it’s even more brutal and bloodier than before.

Superstar creators JASON AARON & MAHMUD ASRAR return to the savage suburban epic that feeds Honey, I Shrunk the Kids through a war grinder and marinates it in Conan-flavored myth and mayhem.

Six months after the Yard ran red with insect blood, uneasy peace is shattered as ancient enemies rise from the Woods, corporate extermination forces close in, and Slade Slaymaker is dragged back into a brutal world where roach knights ride, squirrel armies gather, and survival means choosing your side in a war no human was meant to fight.

Welcome back to BUG WARS: THE COMING OF THE WARDOOM.

What If...? Runaways #1

WHAT IF... THE RUNAWAYS HADN'T RUN AWAY?

Every year, a group of philanthropists gather for a charitable fundraiser... or so their children Alex Wilder, Chase Stein, Gertrude Yorkes, Karolina Dean, Molly Hayes and Nico Minoru thought. When they discover their parents form the Pride, a sinister, sacrificial group that answers to a godly race called the Gibborim , the teens are terrified, shocked and... intrigued? Their destiny awaits, and there's no running away.

Spider-Man / Hulk: Fire and Brimstone #1

THWIP-SMASH! Legendary writers KEVIN SMITH and ANDY McELFRESH team up with superstar artist R.B. SILVA for the newest high-octane adventure for Spider-Man and Hulk! It's nonstop action! Side-splitting quips! And... the exorcism of Bruce Banner?!

Shellshock #1

NEW WARS! NEW SOLDIERS! SAME OLD PRICE TO PAY... Kiss your rifle and swallow your fear, because EC Comics is rotating back into combat for the 21st century’s first dose of two-fisted fury with staggering new tales of war and fighting men in our next giant-sized special!

Meet mankind’s greatest enemy of all — himself — as commanding writers Julio Anta (This Land Is Our Land: A Blue Beetle Story), John Arcudi (B.P.R.D.), Benito Cereno (Invincible Presents: Atom Eve), and Michael W. Conrad (Double Walker) lead a joint campaign alongside artistic bombardiers Tom Fowler (EC’s Catacomb of Torment), David Lapham (Stray Bullets), Albert Monteys (Slaughterhouse-Five: The Graphic Novel), and Shawn Martinbrough (Thief of Thieves) that will always bring enemy and ally, private and general, to the same reward in the end: a flag-draped casket and glory posthumously conferred. Plus: This 56-page testament to fortitude also features another all-time EC classic, painstakingly remastered and restored!

You’ve warmed yourselves by the pyres of SHIVER SUSPENSTORIES... You’ve grabbed OUTLAW SHOWDOWN by both red-hot barrels... And you’ve felt the poison touch of TORTURED HEARTS. But nothing can prepare you for what awaits — or who you will become — when you finally reach the front line. Here, there can be no peace — only SHELLSHOCK! 

Lazarus Order #1

In a medieval world where illness can lead to horrific and monstrous transformation, the Lazarus Order is mankind's final bastion, preventing uncontrollable chaos. Devout plague doctors have sacrificed their freedom in an oath to God, in exchange for supernatural abilities. However, their powers come at a great cost — the more they use them, the more it consumes them until they fade to nothing. Despite this sacrifice, they live in servitude and dedication to protecting humanity from vampires, werewolves, Rattusvir (Rat-man disease), the undead, and other variants of “The First Sickness.”

Doctor Damien, a meek, middle-aged stickler for protocol, is sent to team up with Edward Talis, an older, opportunistic, charming veteran doctor. They respond to what seems to be a routine call to subdue and cure a Rattusvir, only to discover an omen that “The First Sickness” has set events in motion to destroy the Lazarus Order once and for all. Will they unravel its machinations before their oaths consume them? Or will they continue down their path towards righteous self-destruction, unaware of what foul monsters scheme beneath their feet?

Don’t miss the start of this high-flyin’ adventure series by writer Amanda Deibert and artist Carlo Lauro, the team behind Darkwing Duck!

THE PHANTOM WALKS. EVIL DIES.

It's all come down to this — The Phantom vs. Arif Singh and his Brotherhood! After the Brotherhood's failed attack on Bangalla, Singh was all set to rot in prison.

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.

Eydis takes on her most difficult case yet when she is hired to broker a peace treaty between the Norse gods in an effort to prevent a new Ragnarok. ValhalLaw is contemporary fantasy, filled with dark humor and high concept action (plus a bit of legal drama). But at its chilly heart, the book is about family, as Eydis juggles saving the world and rediscovering romance with her (recently reanimated) girlfriend.

The Harrowers Facsimile Edition #1

Experience a prison break of epic proportions with this thrilling issue from the twisted mind of horror icon, Clive Barker!

Manhattan, Lower East Side. Six strangers gather at the abandoned Bleecker Street Hotel, drawn together and hand-selected by the powerful goddess Mortē Mammē. Imbued with her special gifts, they’re tasked with a divine mission: break into Hell itself and rescue the innocent souls trapped in endless torment there! But Hell has its own guardians...

Can they learn to work together fast enough for their first dive into the infernal depths? And what secrets are they harboring that could tear each other apart before the demons do it for them? Pinhead himself is determined not just to stop the Harrowers, but to keep them in his fiery menagerie.

Break into a new layer of dark delights from horror writer Clive Barker with writer Malcolm Smith (Hellraiser) and legendary artist Gene Colan (Daredevil, Howard the Duck, Blade) with this faithful reproduction of the original series’ debut issue!

Shaman Kane: Resurrection #1

Antarctic Press's interstellar exorcist rises again in a new miniseries! Tasked with investigating a series of supernatural murders on his home planet Gefion, Kane arrives to find that the ghosts of his past have returned to haunt him. Can Kane overcome what awaits him, or will history repeat itself?

Smuggler's Stitch #1

Cedric solves problems with fabric, engineering, and a little creative thinking.

As a rising designer in the brutal world of professional wrestling, his job is simple: build costumes that survive bone-crushing slams while still looking heroic under the lights. Rival designers stealing clients? Annoying, but manageable.

Alien gunfights on the side of the road? That’s new.

After a frustrating day at the arena, Cedric’s quiet drive home is shattered when a violent explosion erupts beside him. Energy blasts scorch the trees, and an armored warrior crashes into the clearing—followed by two relentless hunters determined to finish the job.

Cedric isn’t a soldier. He isn’t a hero. He’s a tailor.

But sometimes the difference between life and death comes down to knowing how things are put together… and how to improvise when everything falls apart.

Gabriel and the Guardians #1

High above the mortal realm exists Parah’dem—a divine paradise created to guide and nurture humanity. But something went wrong. A catastrophic fall shattered its perfection, unleashing chaos into creation and leaving behind a world that has never truly healed.

In the aftermath, Gabriel serves as a celestial guardian—tasked with protecting the Tree Eternal and its Seeds, the very essence of life itself. Though lighthearted by nature, he carries the responsibility of maintaining balance in a fractured world.

But when an unknown force breaches this sacred sanctuary and targets one of the Seeds, Gabriel is pushed into a conflict he is not prepared for.

Which raises one dangerous question:

If paradise could fall once… what’s stopping it from happening again?

Follow Gabriel as his journey begins—not as a legend, but as a guardian forced to confront the truth of what he’s protecting… and what he may be destined to become.

This is the beginning of the Gabriel and the Guardians saga, where faith is tested, power comes at a cost, and even paradise is not beyond corruption.
