Author: Mirka Andolfo

From international superstar MIRKA ANDOLFO (SWEET PAPRIKA, MERCY, UNNATURAL, Harley Quinn, Punchline) comes a new horror comedy graphic novel that only Andolfo can deliver-asking the question: how many fans is your soul worth?

In a world where pop stars have ascended to divinity, and the masses bow in veneration to a new generation of viral superstars-angels and demons thrive on this exaltation, and revel in this spotlight that grants them unimaginable power.

Clelia, the reigning queen of pop, finds her throne shaken by a newcomer radiating with enigmatic charm. As her fans waver and the public eye threatens to wander, Clelia and her demonic agent, Father Lev, are thrust into a battle for dominance on this exhilarating stage of music and mysticism. How far will they go to defend her reign and unravel the mystery of this sensational new threat?

Mixing the sacred and profane, Harvey Award-winning Mirka Andolfo effortlessly merges the mythological urban fantasy of American Gods with the sardonic wit of The Good Place in a brand new dark series featuring stunning visual and narrative intensity set in the glittering world of pop music.

I Can Count To Ten Available October 8

Author: Roman Dirge

HANDS DOWN, THE FUNNIEST BOOK OF THE DECADE!

From the twisted imagination of Roman Dirge, the Michelangelo of the macabre comes this, his latest magnificent masterpiece – I CAN COUNT TO TEN, the first non-children’s book for adults.

ROMAN DIRGE’S UNIQUE BRAND OF HUMOR SPAWNED THE SUBGENRE FOR CUTE GIRL GOTHIC HORROR/HUMOR.

If you loved Roman Dirge’s unique, anarchic and counter-culture cult classic LENORE: THE CUTE LITTLE DEAD GIRL, then get ready for his greatest book yet!

Presented as a child’s primer book for maths, I Can Count to Ten is without doubt the single most completely useless teaching aid for anyone looking for a book to teach them how to count to ten. What starts as the cutest counting book in the history of education, soon descends spectacularly into the single goriest, bloodiest, and funniest non-teaching aid EVER, that somehow manages to shoehorn in a sinister government conspiracy and an alien invasion into a gentle tale of a bunch of loveable numbers introducing themselves in order.

Genius is a word bandied about a lot, but what Roman has done here is nothing less than pure genius, creating a genuinely funny belly-laugh of a book that will have any reader crying with laughter.

The Principles of Necromancy Vol. 1 Available October 1

#horror – #horrorcomics – #comicbooks – #ThePrinciplesofNecromancy – #CollinKelly – #JacksonLanzing – @MagmaComix –

Author: Collin Kelly & Jackson Lanzing

Behold the glorious and gut-wrenching work of DOCTOR JAKOB EYES, the world’s first necromancer!

In a dark fantasy world of medicine and madness, a sadistic and terrible medical doctor wanders a brutalist, monster-filled landscape where biology and medicine are the only form of “magic”. His goal: to overcome death itself. DOCTOR JAKOB EYES is a mad master of his craft – and god help the man or king who stands in his way!

To see Jakob Eyes – or truly any Doctor – is to know fear, even if you are injured – for a Doctor is mercurial and can act in ways mere humans cannot understand. They are the mad scientists of this horrifying kingdom… and this story is about the one that even other Doctors learn to fear. A man who seeks to make death irrelevant and looks upon his calling with a kind of mad glee. A man who can rebuild people like they were machines… and combine them just as quickly. Doctor Eyes won’t just fix a person… he will make them magnificent!

The Eisner Award nominated writing duo of Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing (Guardians of the Galaxy, Outsiders, Star Trek) return to creator-owned comics for the first time since 2016 with this macabre series brought to life by the evocatively horrific art of Eamon Winkle!

Graves End is as sleepy a town as they come… especially being surrounded by cemeteries, and the local kids could think of nowhere else they’d rather wreak harmless havoc. But being surrounded by graveyards comes with the pervasive reminder that… there are more dead than there are living.

This town is an endlessly eerie place with no shortage of strange and dangerous happenings, and when high schooler Parker West pulls what seems like a harmless prank, he may be putting his friends in more danger than he can imagine…

Legendary author R.L. Stine (Goosebumps, Fear Street, Stuff of Nightmares) and rising star artist Carola Borelli (Spider-Woman, The Deadliest Bouquet) launch a coming-of-age horror series, a Breakfast Club in a graveyard filled with frights both nostalgic and new, for fans of Locke & Key and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina!

Author: Andy Fish

The United States has a rich haunted history not often recounted in school. Beyond the Liberty Bell and right under the presidential noses on Mount Rushmore exists a dark and sinister world, which harbors secret creatures, beings both malevolent and benevolent, that inhabit the nation–ghosts and monsters unwilling or unable to abandon the American landscape.

Hitchhike along on this transnational road trip with excursions to the most haunted American locations, including the home of Lizzie Borden, the Waverly Hills Sanatorium, and the Winchester Mystery House. Close your eyes through Ohio, purported to be the most haunted state in the nation.

Watch out for the Frozen Bodies in Lake Tahoe, the Werewolves rumored to roam a lone stretch of road in Wisconsin, and the Bell Witch of Tennessee. And don’t venture too close to the colonial era cemetery in Leicester, Massachusetts, for as the story goes, the only way out is through Hell.

Sweetie Candy Vigilante Vol. 2 #4 Available September 4

#horror – #horrorcomics – #comicbooks – #Sweetie – #SuzanneCafiero – @DynamiteComics – @candyvigilante –

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?

Bestselling author Andrew Kier found the perfect place to finish his latest dark-fantasy novel—an idyllic, remote cabin on the edge of a lush Swedish forest. His young daughters, Sommer and Winter, gleefully explore . . . until they happen upon a strange clearing of ancient statues: goblins, dwarves, elves, and a warrior queen mysteriously missing her swordhand and weapon. When something sinister follows the girls home and viciously snatches their parents in the night, the sisters’ only hope may be that ancient relic, lost in the forest underbrush, waiting for a new champion to take it up…
