What’s up Wednesday Warriors? Light week with some must pick ups. Check out what is on tap:
New Series
Barstow #1 – Dark Horse – At the center of the Mojave Desert, at the crossroads between hell and gone, lies Barstow. Agent Miranda Diaz is in this godforsaken land on the trail of a missing agent. He’s a man she’s never met, and yet her name was the only clue he left behind. Something dark… something demonic… lurks beneath this oddball town, but can Miranda unravel the mystery before all hell breaks loose? Award-winning horror writing and filmmaking team David Ian McKendry and Rebekah McKendry team-up with Eisner-nominated artist Tyler Jenkins for this all-new comedy-horror series!
Rocketfellers #1 – Image – New Ghost Machine series. In the picture-perfect 25th century, the Rocketfeller family, living a disconnected and emotionally distant existence, discover a terrible secret: in their hands is the fate of humanity.
