The Almighties #1

Just in time for THAT movie – Almighties Amass!

The enigmatic White Out has put together a dysfunctional bunch of heroes to take down ‘threats to America’ – sending them on missions that have comedic nods to all the big Marvel events of recent years – from Civil War to Fear Itself. But these aren’t your momma’s super-heroes and things aren’t quite as they seem…

With the motley crew of Maxi-Tron, Mason, Ms. F, Nite Fang, and… Stefanos amassed, you can expect offbeat action, adventure, comedy, testicular cancer, Nazi Robots, and plenty more in The Almighties #1!

Vampire Hunter D Volume 2

Towering above the sleepy village of Tepes are ancient ruins once erected by the Nobility. One day, four of the town’s children wander into the ruins and vanish without a trace, only to mysteriously reappear a few weeks later. But only three return, bearing no memory of what had happened to them.

Ten years later, a new breed of vampire emerges; one which can seemingly hunt during the daytime. Losing the safety daylight offers, panic and mass hysteria begins to grip the townspeople—inciting riots and lynch-mobs. Amidst the turmoil, the enigmatic vampire slayer known only as “D” is called in to investigate. Can he solve the mystery of the walking dead’s newfound powers and unravel the truth behind the missing children’s connection to the secrets of the ruins?

Created by Hideyuki Kikuchi and illustrated by Saiko Takaki, Vampire Hunter D is a blood-curdling horror-fest filled with raging mutants, coerced by the anti-hero’s savvy monster slaying style. Takaki’s masterfully illustrated portrayal of Kikuchi’s half-human, half-vampire monster hunter borders between the horrific and the fantastic. Delve into the surreal as you’ve never seen before!

Son of the infamous Medusa, Jack wears a metal mask to protect the people around him. He’s a social leper but a damn good P.I., and he takes on cases the police won’t touch.

This Pilot Season entry comes from fan-favorite writer Jay Faerber (Dynamo 5, Noble Causes) and fresh newcomer Jorge Molina (Superman/Batman Annual).
