Hank Howard, Pizza Detective: The Two Hollywoods #2

(W) Robert Venditti, David Lapham (A) David Lapham

New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti and world-renowned comics legend, David Lapham (STRAY BULLETS, THE HERO TRADE), crank up the heat in the guns-blazing finale to their two-part, high-stakes action extravaganza.

OUT OF JURISDICTION AND OUT OF TIME! The heat’s rising in Hollywood as Detective Hank Howard closes in on the Aussie drug syndicate that left Big Caligula’s rising star lying cold on the linoleum. But the bodies are piling up around him and the feds muscling in on his murder case are demanding that he back down… or else. But an explosive showdown with a flamethrower-wielding hitman tells him he’s hot on the killer’s trail — and he’s not backing down. Outgunned, outnumbered, and out of jurisdiction, Hank will need his fists and his wits if he’s going to crack the case before he finds himself buried six feet down under!

SRP: $19.99

From Eisner Award-nominated writer/artist Patrick Horvath (Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees) comes a 56-page, self-contained one-shot that delivers a brutal new vision of capitalism by combat . . .

In the future, the World Finance League exists to benefit all, randomly choosing those from among the billionaires and trillionaires of the world and presenting them with a choice: either donate half of their assets to the common good-or defend them in ritual combat.

Reigning champion and real estate magnate Ted Brooks has 22 victories under his belt-defending the wealth he schemed and stabbed to get-when he is forced to face his ex-wife, Luella Dominguez, in a fight to the death. Luella has been training, waiting for this moment. But will she have what it takes to defeat the man who would do anything-absolutely anything-to keep his fortune?

It’s every shareholder for themselves when death and bankruptcy collide in Free for All #1, a giant-sized, one-shot spectacle of commerce and carnage coming this March from Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Patrick Horvath!

First Freedom: The Story of Opal Lee and Juneteenth

(W) Angélique Roché (A) Alvin Epps, Bex Glendining, Millicent Monroe
(C) Damali Beatty (L) Alexis Bennett with Andworld Design

First Freedom: The Story of Opal Lee and Juneteenth was created with the support and involvement of both Dr. Lee and her granddaughter, Mrs. Dione Sims, and is brought to life by three distinguished artists. Writer Angélique Roché conducted in-person interviews with Dr. Lee and immersed herself in extensive research for the book. The ambitious biography, which includes back matter that provides more insights into Juneteenth’s history and the making of the graphic novel, will be released 46 years after Juneteenth was first recognized as a statewide holiday by the state of Texas and five years since it was finally recognized as a national federal holiday. The book will also be published as part of a yearlong celebration of Opal Lee’s 100th year on Earth.

Born on October 7, 1926, in Marshall, Texas, Opal Lee grew up in a racially divided America and dedicated her life to overcoming the obstacles presented therein. A lifelong educator, Dr. Lee has been a community activist all her life, and she would take on the movement to celebrate and commemorate Juneteenth not just as a holiday, but as a symbol of comprehensive freedom for all people.I n June 2021the then-94-year-old Dr. Lee sat in the front row as an honored guest at the White House as President Joe Biden signed the bill to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. Dr. Opal’s life personifies the fight for everyday freedoms that leads to lasting change – and as the Grandmother of Juneteenth says, “There is so much more to do.”
