Beyond Megalith #0 is a nice tease of what’s to come but feels like a promotional giveaway

Posted on by

Uncover the secrets behind New York Times bestselling writer Matt Kindt (BRZRKR) and visionary artist Lewis LaRosa’s (PUNISHER MAX) upcoming bone-crushing cosmic odyssey MEGALITH.

Then jump aboard BAD IDEA’s biggest slate yet:

Eisner-nominated writer Joshua Dysart (UNKNOWN SOLDIER) combines his powers with world-renowned comic artist David Lapham (STRAY BULLETS), comic book legend Bill Sienkiewicz (NEW MUTANTS), Eisner-nominated comic artist Jacob Phillips (THAT TEXAS BLOOD), and award-winning colorists Bill Crabtree (INVINCIBLE) and Matt Hollingsworth (BATMAN) to present a groundbreaking horror tour-de-force in THE HAB!

From the minds of blockbuster screenwriter Derek Kolstad — creator and writer of the box office dominating motion picture franchise JOHN WICK — and New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (SUPERMAN ‘78, PLANET DEATH), comes a white-knuckle, globe-spanning action/spy thrill ride – WARBIRD.

Tony Millionaire – winner of five Eisner Awards, three Harvey Awards, and an Ignatz – nimbly fuses the master storytelling of Homer’s The Odyssey with the surreal beauty and intricately rendered linework of Moebius’s Arzach to deliver this breathtaking masterpiece – THE ODDBALL’S ODYSSEY.

New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (SUPERMAN ’78, ORDAINED) joins forces with superstar artists Juan Jose Ryp (WOLVERINE), Tomas Giorello (PLANET DEATH), Trevor Hairsine (ORDAINED) and more, to deliver an epic action-adventure extravaganza – TANKERS VS ANCIENT ALIENS.

Blockbuster director Dave Yarovesky (BRIGHTBURN), acclaimed screenwriter Phil Gelatt ( Netflix’s LOVE, DEATH & ROBOTS) and comics legend Adam Pollina (X-FORCE) have combined their unearthly powers for a bloody horror fable in PROJECT: GOAT!

The Ends has an interesting concept and direction but fumbles in the execution of it all

Posted on by

It’s 1985 and Jennifer End and Angelo Rodriguez are deeply in love. But Jennifer can never reveal their relationship to their family. The Ends are considered by some to be traditional, but by most, they are known as intolerant, discriminatory, and bigoted. Her brother, Jack, is the worst of the bunch and a full blown, hardcore skinhead. During the summer, when Jennifer travels to Oceanside, a retirement home for veterans, to be with Angelo under the guise of visiting her grandparents, Jack discovers their relationship. Jack is crushed by the betrayal. He decides it’s time to take a stand. Jack organizes a rally in the peaceful town of Oceanside. Soon the town is overrun by neo-Nazi youths. The police struggle to maintain control, leaving the only hope with the aging World War 2, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans who reside in the town.

Mercurial billionaire Tuttle Barrows prepared for everything—even the end of the world. Years ago he wielded his immense power and fortune to build a massive sealed habitat atop a once protected ancient freshwater glacial cave. Now, as the world outside unravels, Barrows, his family, and a handpicked inner circle retreat to their final sanctuary—a place built to outlast civilization itself.

But something was already there. Beneath layers of ice, in the ancient freshwater vault, a long-dormant danger lurks. While hallucinations twist their reality and violence spreads like a fever they must descend deeper or risk their last refuge becoming a tomb.
