Purgatori’s always pissing somebody off ― but this time she’s gone too far! It may have some connection to her growing insanely powerful and probably starting to kill and eat the gods. In fact, that last part for sure. And gods are like potato chips, right? It’s not like she’s going to stop at one. And so, the various pantheons have pooled their not inconsiderable resources to offer up a big prize to whatever psycho manages to kill her. Who wants to try? Hey, who doesn’t?!

The creative team behind Vampirella Vs. Purgatori and the recent Purgatori miniseries reunite for the grand third act of this Purgatori saga! Guest-starring Evil Ernie, Vampirella, the Sacred Six… and more!

Victory Available August 28

#horror – #horrorcomics – #comicbooks – #Victory – #DavidFWalker – @DynamiteComics –

Author: David F. Walker

Victory arrived on the scene as Vampirella’s lover, and ended up a very powerful pawn of Vampi’s mother, Lilith. Along the way, she’s made new friends, seen countless horrors, and been saddled with a demon’s ring that she can’t get rid of (but which has granted her some nifty powers). Despite all that, there’s still a lot that we don’t know about Victory, like what her childhood was like, what she’s been doing with her newfound powers — and why so many demons are trying to kill her to gain possession of her Belial ring. Luckily for us, all those questions (and more!) are answered in this invaluable new volume collecting all five issues of the enlightening series from writer DAVID F. WALKER (Compass, Young Justice, Naomi) and artist BRETT WELDELE (The Beauty, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?)!

Sweetie Candy Vigilante Vol. 2 #4 Available August 28

#horror – #horrorcomics – #comicbooks – #SweetieCandyVigilante – #SuzanneCafiero – @DynamiteComics –

Author: Suzanne Cafiero

New Yorkers have quickly become “believers” as hordes of SWEETIE’S fans adoringly line up outside the wildly popular lower east side “SWEETIE CANDY VIGILANTE” sweet shop, anxiously waiting to savor the latest delectable SWEET TREAT drop.

“DREC ACTION! NEWS,” the namesake news network of a corporate media conglomerate owned and controlled by the corrupt mayor of NYC crashes the party and quickly gets schooled that it’s impolite to show up without an invite! It’s clear to Candy Wolf, Pixie, and Tinsel that the news crew’s objective is to stage an ambush interview with SWEETIE, the Candy Vigilante squad, and their newly minted fans, with the intent of maligning Sweetie and her business on nationally syndicated TV.

At the helm is the mayor’s self-centered, saccharine-laced daughter-turned-news anchor, Athena Dreck. Acting under direct orders from her love interest (and Sweetie’s arch-nemesis) — the dour, perpetual schemer, crime lord Bart Volgare — Athena arrives at the shop with camera crew in tow to portray the uplifting sweets as “unhealthy” and “addictive.” Unfazed, our GOOD-natured Sweetie lets the “jelly roll” and flips Athena’s script. Awe-struck and caught in Sweetie’s hypnotic gaze, does Athena believe in her magic? Will she “bite” on Sweetie’s challenge to sample her latest treats while on LIVE TV, inevitably revealing to her viewers if she’s a good witch or a bad witch…?

Will the Mayor and Bart feel the sweet heat of the people? Is Bart’s obsession with Sweetie unjustified? Is her mission to bring the sweetness back to the city a clear and present danger to Volgare’s unsavory power and greed? Much to the displeasure of the salty lords of corruption, something within Sweetie’s delicacies is having an incredibly GOOD impact on the population of NYC, and in the process, she’s becoming more powerful!

DOES SWEETIE HAVE A KRYPTONITE — AND IS BART ON THE TRAIL OF IT?

PICK UP VOL. 2, ISSUE #4, “THE CITY THAT ALWAYS SWEETS,” TO FIND OUT ALL THIS AND LOTS MORE GUMDROPS!

Also includes a FREE MP3 download of “THE LAND OF HATCHY MILATCHY,” the new single by OSAKA POPSTAR recorded specifically for this series! Isn’t that NICE?

#horror – #horrorcomics – #comicbooks – #AblazeArtistSpotlight – #FrancescoArtibani – #TizlanoSclavi – @AblazePub –

Author: Francesco Artibani & Tizlano Sclavi

From the artist and co-creator of Something is Killing the Children!

ABLAZE presents two graphic novels featuring Eisner and Ringo Award-winning artist Werther Dell’Edra, collected together for the first time as a special price.

In He Who Fights with Monsters, it’s World War 2 and the struggle between good and evil is in full force. In Prague, the great Bohemian city is being oppressed by the Nazi occupation and the population lives in terror, while the resistance forces try to organize themselves in the shadows. It is an almost impossible task. With the ruthless SS tightening their grip on every street and neighborhood with overwhelming might, only one hope feeds the struggle. A crazy hope, which rests on the fragile foundations of an ancient, monstrous legend…

In The Voices of Water, under a persistent rain, which seems destined to never subside, Stavros lives and moves through the streets of a dark and gloomy nameless city. He has a job and a fiancée; his life is normal. Yet several, different voices talk to him – sometimes whispering, sometimes whining or yelling – whenever he hears the water running. One day, as Stavros wanders the city under a heavy rain, the voices become insistent, revealing his deepest, unspeakable secrets, as well as his dreams and memories. He is tormented by these mysterious voices, perhaps a sign of his madness. Or perhaps of a wider, collective madness, which infects everyone around him, to the point of being transmitted to the entire universe.
