(W) Marguerite Bennett (A) Beverly Johnson

Sci fi and fantasy merge in this girl-power reimagining of Flash Gordon! Focusing on teamwork, adventures, cute critters, heroes, monsters, and the journey of leadership!

The continuing adventures of Flash Gordon, Savior of the Universe!

She fell from a shooting star with no memory and only the faintest clues about where she came from, or why she’d been sent to this part of the world. But that didn’t stop Flash Gordon from leaping into action when her friend Dale Arden needed help. Now they’re both embroiled in a planetary war! The evil Emperor Azimuth wants to rule the alien world of Omnia — and a strange shadow power seems to be helping him. Flash fought alongside a rebel army to depose him — but they failed. Now Flash and Dale are on the run, the Emperor’s sister is under lock and key, and Omnia is in chaos. And the Emperor knows something about Flash’s origins…something even Flash doesn’t know…

The next exhilarating installment in this gorgeous sci-fi fantasy reimagining of FLASH GORDON by NYT-bestseller Marguerite Bennett and illustrator Bev Johnson.

Nothing Can Stop… The Ape!

(W) Tom Sniegoski (A) Jeannine Acheson

Maxwell Morgan is only twelve—but the fate of the world is already on his shoulders.

When his mother is possessed by Thuuna, an ancient primordial goddess with genocidal ambitions, Maxwell will do anything to save her. Even if that means making the worst decision imaginable: freeing Thuuna’s immortal enemy, the long-imprisoned Ghraagg’endah—Gorilla God of Chaos.

Joined by his loyal French bulldog and four elemental-powered cave people, Maxwell must convince the volatile ape god to help stop Thuuna before she destroys the world—and claim his mom back from a deity that never forgives and never forgets.

A rollicking, all-ages adventure inspired by the bold spirit of late-’60s Hanna-Barbera cartoons, Nothing Can Stop… The Ape! is packed with cosmic gods, big laughs, high-stakes heroics, and Saturday-morning swagger. So pour a bowl of cereal, buckle up, and hang on tight—because once the ape is loose… nothing can stop him.

Grit Vol. 1

(W) Brian Wickman (A) Kevin Castaniero

GRIT is southern-fried sword and sorcery: a pulp fantasy romp as gleeful as it is grisly.

When a simple hunt spirals into an occult war, Barrow and Ari must put aside their grudges—or be crushed by the cult that ends the world.

From feral packs of bog-hounds to goblin gang wars, Old Man Barrow’s solved plenty of problems with the swing of his axe… but when a routine troll hunt spirals into a brush with a would-be doomsday cult, he may be in more trouble than he can chop his way out of. Saddled with Ari, a sharp-tempered witch with little patience for his blood-soaked ways, Barrow is dragged into grotesque occult rituals, the jeering warbles of trash-talking songbirds, and a fight he can’t win on his own…whether he admits it or not.
