Bludwire #1 – Ace and Zora were built for men’s pleasure. Now they’re building a life of their own, one bullet at a time. When sex bot Ace mounts a dangerous rescue mission, she isn’t starting a revolution. She’s trying to save the woman she loves. But Ace and Zora are valuable property, and a corporate kill squad is hot on their trail. Bullets fly. Metal screams. Rivers run red with blood and coolant. From critically-acclaimed writer Paul Allor and artist Ermitis Blanco, Blüdwire is a tender love story surrounded by a hail of bullets. Love is love, but liberation is violent.
Eye Collector #1 – The startling first issue of the strangest series on the stands! An ancient being has its curiosity toward Earth reignited when the humans of the Apollo 10 mission make wishes over the Moon. What is this spectral creature, and what does it want with our world? Seeing is believing…
Mind MGMT New & Improved #1 – NEW AGENTS. NEW MISSION. NEW BEGINNING. From New York Times best-selling cartoonist and multiple Eisner Award nominee Matt Kindt, the defining statement on psychic espionage returns with an all-new, entirely self-contained entry point into the genre-bending, Eisner Award–nominated series that Entertainment Weekly calls ”one of the most experimental and fascinating books in mainstream comics.” Ten years ago, the extra-governmental agency known as Mind Management exploded in a barrage of bullets and brain matter. Those that survived have gone underground—forging new lives with unremarkable identities and falsified pasts to obfuscate the strange abilities that once made them highly prized assets in the global war for psychic control. Now, two investigators—Detective Delphi and Detective Swan—have found themselves at the center of an unexpected puzzle. Here: A man poisoned in a coffee shop with a sophisticated neurotoxin. There: A supposed suicide victim run over by a train . . . with his arms found in a trash can five miles from the tracks. Their connection: Someone is killing former Mind Management agents in improbable and arcane ways . . . Seemingly impossible crimes committed by a faceless killer capable of evading even the most pervasive digital surveillance. What secret are they killing to protect? Who will be next? Has Mind Management returned? Did it ever go away? You are paranoid . . . but are you paranoid enough?
Universal Monsters Blood Of The Wolf Man #1 – THE WOLF MAN REBORN FOR A NEW GENERATION Adam Jaeger thought he could become someone new at college… but not like this. One moment he was partying, the next he’s recovering from a massacre that left almost no survivors. The worst part? He might be responsible… As the monster within tries to claw loose, Adam will do anything he can to stop from becoming…THE WOLF MAN.
