On a dying Earth filled with expanding dead zones, humans form rage gangs to vent their anger at futures lost or escape into the cyber-void to avoid thinking about what’s coming. Our only hope of survival rests with a new kind of human. Will their appearance in a desperate world be met with acceptance—or destruction? Are they angels, devils, or the latest iteration of a Frankenstein’s monster?

Universal Monsters Dracula Black And White Special #1 (Skybound) – The art on this was amazing and we’re pumped to see what it’s like in black and white.

Voyeur #2 (Ignition) – We thought this was going to be like the film Sliver but it’s more Entrapment with more sexiness.
