The fan-favorite creative team of Si Spurrier and Aaron Campbell (John Constantine, Hellblazer) have reunited for a brand-new series featuring the DC Universe’s most beloved occult con man/detective, John Constantine!

This is certainly not the first time John Constantine has had a brush with death — but if he doesn’t play his cards right, it may be his last!

Far from home and with precious few allies to call upon, Constantine, his son Noah, and his “bodyguard” Nat are on the run in America and wanted for murder. To make matters worse, John’s heart has stopped beating and his body is quite literally decaying more and more with each passing day.

Thankfully, he may have a chance at winning a favor from the King of Dreams himself, Morpheus of the Endless, to save himself– that is, if he can figure out who is using Dream’s sand to weave its terrible will into America’s collective unconscious! Afterall, when has playing quid pro quo with all-powerful, extra-dimensional entities ever blown up in Constantine’s face?

In a post-apocalyptic world torn apart by the madness of a warping reality, shotgun-wielding scientist Harris Pax and his two extra-dimensional, non-corporeal alien sidekicks (manifesting as a walking corpse and a toy robot) are humanity’s only hope for survival.

In ESSENTIALS, mathematician Harris Pax predicted the end of the world but failed to prevent it. Now he’s living alone in a bunker and his niece’s favorite toys have started talking to him. The good news? He’s not the world’s sole survivor. The bad news? The other survivors are trapped in alternate realities — imprisoned in imagined worlds full of zombies, robots, mythical creatures, and chaos. And now Harris Pax and an unlikely ally must travel the country on a quest to restore reality, save humanity, and defeat his new interdimensional nemesis: Snuggles. Written by Luke Arnold (star of Black Sails; writer, The Fetch Phillips novels) and Chris “Doc” Wyatt (producer, Napoleon Dynamite; writer, Ninjago). This debut graphic novel from THE LAB ships in a gold-foil stamped cloth slipcase!

By: Various

Black Demon Tales is a kaiju horror anthology series based on Indigenous myths about a monster shark—El Demonio Negro—that is rumored to have attacked Mexican fishermen. Now a major motion picture!

In four harrowing tales by Mexican American authors, we stare directly into the jaws of the Black Demon, an ancient megalodon that prowls the Pacific, unleashing its wrath on any who violate those waters. Along the way, we discover the origins of the massive shark and its seemingly immortal harbinger, a former Spanish priest. We meet Bella González, the naval researcher bent on destroying el Demonio Negro, even at great cost to herself. And we witness righteous devastation of monstrous proportions as the aquatic kaiju fulfills its role as divine champion of the seas, wiping greedy polluters from its waves even in alternate versions of our world.

Expanding the universe of the crowd-pleasing film The Black Demon, this kaiju anthology offers up breathtaking thrills and iconic kills with nuances of environmental protection, cutting-edge science, obscure history, and Indigenous lore.

Collects the NYC Comic Con ashcan story along with issues 1-3.

ALL HAIL KING CONAN!

Conan the barbarian, the thief, the mercenary, and now… Conan the king!

A new era begins with adventures set after Conan has deposed the tyrant Numedides to become ruler of Aquilonia. But Conan on the throne is still Conan. The savage action that made him a comic book legend fills page after page, while palace intrigue adds a new level of drama with Queen Zenobia and Prince Conn, the heir to the throne, taking prominent roles. Old nemeses like Thoth-Amon return, and mystical prophecy ties Conan to the first king of the realm. Each issue is a double-sized extravaganza with scripts by the godfather of Conan comics, Roy Thomas, along with Doug Moench and Alan Zelenetz, and artwork by John Buscema and rising star Marc Silvestri.

Deep within the backroads of the Pacific Northwest, an entire town fell victim to the brutal cleaver of the Butcher of La Perdita.

But that was more than a hundred years ago, and in that time the generational nightmare of murder and meat has been reduced to morbid clickbait folklore for bored travelers to share online.

And yet some say the Butcher still haunts the streets at night, seeking fresh meat for his larder. A true Lovecraftian horror? Or just the feverish dreams of a mentally unstable serial killer. Six friends on a road trip are about to find out…

Combining elements from tales such as Midsommar and The Evil Dead, this spine-tingling horror lurches from the minds of New York Times bestselling author Landry Q. Walker and artist Justin Greenwood of the critically acclaimed series The Last Siege.

Collects The Butcher’s Boy #1–#4.

Father Barrera is a disgraced priest, haunted by his part in the tragic death of a child. As penance, he is exiled to the remote South American town of Puerto Cristina to apprentice under the enigmatic Father Stygian, controversial exorcist.

Exorcists are normally trained in the Vatican, but Stygian has his own way of handling demons… methods that predate even the Church. And unfortunately for Barrera, Stygian’s last apprentice committed suicide not long ago.

As Barrera seeks to unlock the mysteries of Stygian’s strange practices, he uncovers an island rife with evil and supernatural phenomena.

What do these possessions mean, and how are they connected to a mysterious hospital patient, one who’s been in a coma for nearly half a century without aging a single day…
