Lilith #1 Sells Out, Second Print Features Two New Covers by Corin Howell

Posted on by

Corin Howell‘s Lilith #1 has sold out at the distributor and is being rushed back to print. The debut of Howell’s smash-hit demon model will return to stands with two brand new covers by Howell herself, including a NSFW black bag cover. The second printing of Lilith #1 will FOC on October 7th and will hit store shelves on November 6th, the same day as Lilith #2.     

Corin Howell’s sexy horror series Lilith is written and drawn by Howell, with colors by Warnia Sahadewa, letters by Jim Campbell, and design by Tim Daniel.

Lilith is an immortal who’s been banished from her home, a dimensional plane suspiciously similar to mankind’s idea of hell. She’s been posing as a model on Earth while secretly preying on humans. That is, until she runs into Penelope, a sweet bookstore owner with a tome that might hold the secret to returning Lilith to her home dimension. If the mismatched pair doesn’t end up falling in love first!

Explore the Dark Side in Star Wars: Vader’s Castle – The Deluxe Library Collection

Posted on by

Horror comes to a galaxy far, far away in Star Wars: Vader’s Castle–The Deluxe Library Collection coming soon from Dark Horse Books and Lucasfilm Publishing. This large format hardcover volume collects all the stories from the Sith Lord’s sinister lair, including the only reprinting of the one-shot, Shadow of Vader’s Castle. Featuring creepy new cover art by Francesco Francavilla, the deluxe book collects the following comics stories: Star Wars Adventures: Tales from Vader’s Castle, Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader’s Castle, Star Wars Adventures: Shadow of Vader’s Castle, Star Wars Adventures: Ghosts of Vader’s Castle, and the Star Wars Adventures: Free Comic Book Day 2019 short story “Droid Hunters.”

These tales are written by Cavan Scott and rendered in ghastly detail by acclaimed artists Francesco Francavilla, Derek Charm, Megan Levens, Kelley Jones, Corin Howell, Robert Hack, Nicoletta Baldari, Nick Brockenshire, and Charles Paul Wilson III, colored by Charlie Kirchoff, Michelle Madsen, Valentina Pinto, and Michael Devito, lettered by Robbie Robins, Tom B. Long, Andworld Design, Shawn Lee, and Valeria Lopez.

Exhumed from the lava mines of Mustafar comes the complete legends of Darth Vader’s castle: a shadowy tower haunted by the dark side. Join Rebel Commander Lina Graff, Lieutenant Hudd, and their friends as they sneak through the citadel’s dank corridors in search of escape. Along the way they trade terrifying tales of Obi-Wan, Han, Chewbacca, the Ewoks, and other galactic heroes facing off against interstellar creeps such as menacing Sith, soulless stormtroopers, possessed droids, alien witches, mutant monsters, and more! When Hudd falls into the clutches of Vaneé, the castle’s creepy caretaker, he is treated to further spine-chilling stories of the galaxy’s most vile villains, including Darth Maul, Asajj Ventress, Jabba the Hutt, and Vader himself! Even after the band of rebels flee the fortress, they are pursued by nightmares of rampaging were-Wookiees, Dagobah swamp monsters, and other ghouls!

And for the first time, the Shadow of Vader’s Castle one-shot is collected here, in which the Mustafarian locals share their own hair-raising legends about the villainous stronghold.

Are you brave enough to set foot in the Sith Lord’s fortress of fear?

The Star Wars: Vader’s Castle the Deluxe Library Collection hardcover volume contains 424 pages and measures 8 x 12.1875”.

Vault makes Barbaric: Born in Blood #1 FREE for retailers

Posted on by

Vault has announced they are expanding their industry-changing Free-to-Retailers program,  and will make Barbaric: Born in Blood #1 completely free to retailers. 

In 2023, Vault founded the innovative Free-to-Retailers program, offering retailers first issues at no cost.  The first two titles launched under this program were Christopher Yost and Val Rodrigues’ Unnatural Order #1, and Zack Kaplan and Fabiana Mascolo’s Beyond Real #1. Collectively, these two issues received over a quarter million copies ordered.

Barbaric: Born in Blood #1 is a true jumping on point for new readers, requiring no previous knowledge of the series in order to read, making it a perfect issue for Vault’s free-to-retailers program, enabling retailers to hook in new readers to one of the most beloved and best-selling independent comic series of the past decade.   

The standard cover of Barbaric: Born in Blood #1 will be offered to retailers in free bundles of 25 copies. The issue will retain its $4.99 SRP, and retailers will be free to sell, discount, or freely distribute copies to their customers as they see fit.  In addition to the standard cover, Vault will offer net-priced, open order premium variants from a murderers row of hit artists like Corin Howell, Adam Cahoon, Ed Luce, and Patrick Gañas. Barbaric: Born in Blood #1 will also feature a stunning Berserk manga homage variant by Angela Wu, which is sure to be a hit among manga readers.   

Barbaric: Born in Blood #1 will hit store shelves on April 10th, 2024. The Full synopsis can be read below: 

A new era of Barbaric begins!

Worried Axe is going to find out you fell behind on a few issues? Scared to admit that despite all your friends raving about Barbaric for years, you still haven’t joined in on the fun? Rejoice! For Barbaric: Born in Blood begins the next season of Owen, Axe, and Soren’s tale. Yes, that’s right! We did it…the thing everyone says they’re doing, even when they’re lying through their teeth: a genuinely good jumping on point. How, you ask? Well, it all starts with a compelling new bad guy. 

Meet Orrick, the tortured barbarian now turned master torturer, who will take us deep into Owen’s past, revealing secrets that should have stayed buried…like Axe in a chest cavity slurping up that sweet, delicious blood. Will the cursed-to-do-good barbarian finally do some actual good? Probably not! But some much worse guys will almost certainly lose their heads. Yummy!
