New Series
Filthy Lambs #1 – In the basement of Grimaldi Manor, the family patriarch says a prayer and stabs himself in the throat. Blood falls. The demon watches. A woman tries to scream. Upstairs, three generations of the Grimaldi family and a snapping turtle fill the house with unfulfilled promise and joyful childhood shrieks. These are tremendous, terrible times for the lineage! The Grimaldis hold a contract with Their Lord Below for ten more years of prodigious wealth and glory. But old contracts can sour. Monsters can misbehave. And a filthy little lamb can still have teeth.
It Demands Sacrifice #1 – Emmy Award-winning screenwriter Philip Gelatt (LOVE, DEATH & ROBOTS), acclaimed filmmaker David Yarovesky (BRIGHTBURN), and visionary artist Adam Pollina (X-FORCE) carve up a shocking new horror comic book event. On a quiet farm, Bronson, the youngest and smallest member of a close-knit family of goats, lives an idyllic life of sun-drenched fields, fresh hay, and sibling rivalries. His greatest concern is proving to his older siblings—and, more importantly, his imposing father—that he is more than just the runt of the herd. Then, in a single night, everything changes. A drug-fueled, sex-obsessed satanic hippie murder cult descends on the farm, slaughtering the family who raised and protected the goats before abducting Bronson and his loved ones. Deep in the wilderness, beneath a blood-red moon, hundreds of cult followers gather for an ancient ritual. Their purpose: to sacrifice the goats and summon a ravenous demon from beyond. Now, the fate of his family rests on the shoulders of the one creature least prepared to save them. Innocent, outmatched, and absurdly cute, Bronson must summon a courage he never knew he possessed as he confronts knife-wielding cultists, unspeakable horrors, and forces far beyond his understanding in a desperate attempt to rescue his family before they are offered up in blood.

For the Cover
Batman #14 Variant Dan Quintana Halloween Glow-In-The-Dark Card Stock Cover – four of the other covers may have been canceled, but this one is still coming out (at least I hope) and should be a great pickup.
X-Men United #8 Juan Frigeri Musha-e Kabuki-e Stormbreakers Art Style Cover – Something different with this one. Classic Japanese style cover. Pretty rad!
Ones to Watch
Avengers Armageddon #5 – First full David Colton as Miracle Man
Pick of the Week
Absolute Flash #20 – The solicitation says “Meet the Atom”, but we have already met him, we do meet the Absolute Cyborg though. Regardless, the Absolute Justice League is coming and seems to be building an Absolute Teen Titans. I want to grab these first appearances early.
