Billy Bat Volume 1 is absolutely brilliant and near perfection. A must get!

Posted on by Leave a comment

The story begins in 1949 Los Angeles. Kevin Yamagata, a Japanese American cartoonist, has built his career on Billy Bat, a sharp, wisecracking detective beloved by readers. But everything shifts when Kevin realizes he may have unknowingly copied the character from an image he once saw in Japan.

Determined to find the truth, Kevin returns to a devastated, postwar Japan. What he uncovers goes far beyond questions of inspiration or theft. The image of the bat is ancient, surfacing again and again across history, tied to moments of upheaval, power, and violence.

As Kevin follows the trail, he is drawn into a far-reaching mystery that blurs fiction and reality, where a single drawing may hold the key to forces shaping human history.

Estuary: A Ghost Story #3 begins to reveal the real horror Maris is investigating

Posted on by Leave a comment

AS BELOW, SO ABOVE! Rising from the blood-drenched waters of the Pacific surf, the vengeful ghosts of California’s most haunted Spanish mission will finally stand revealed in the next frightful fit of West Coast horror from rising stars Tim Daniel & D. B. Andry (Crush Depth) and superstar artist-in-the-making Maan House (Bloodborne, Charred Remains)! Reeling in the wake of their discovery about the Mission’s past and Maris’s connection to the place, she and Hunt are called back to the church by Father Saul. As they rush to learn more about the mystery, they find themselves instead the latest witnesses of the Lady in Lace, who seems bent on claiming Maris as her own. Free of the ghost’s grip, Maris returns to the hallowed ground above Arbués Point with fresh eyes and deep suspicions.

The Devil in the Herd: A Western Horror Comic is pretty solid though a little pricey

Posted on by Leave a comment

In the unforgiving deserts of the American Southwest, a faceless man with burning red eyes trails a cattle drive—silent, patient, and unseen by all but one.

Jedidiah is no stranger to hardship, but he knows something is wrong long before the others do. The figure following them isn’t a drifter. It isn’t a man.

It’s something far older.

As the journey pushes deeper into isolation, paranoia takes hold and the line between sin and survival begins to blur. Because the thing stalking them isn’t here for the herd.

It’s here for a soul.

And it won’t leave without it.

The Deadman #1 stands out as unique among DC’s current releases

Posted on by Leave a comment

The Deadman enters the Next Level! In the millisecond following his murder, the soul of shifty circus aerialist Boston Brand was commandeered by the goddess Rama Kushna, who deputized the erstwhile performer’s ghost with a sacred spectral assignment: the Custodian of All Souls! Now Brand floats—begrudgingly—through this bluegreen purgatory we call Earth, upholding the Laws of Spiritual Math and protecting humanity from evil—even if they can’t see or hear him. Open up to this new era of DC’s most lively deceased superhero—the Deadman—in a story about life, death, and everything in between…replete with paranormal activity, possessions, and a profusion of other poignant peculiarities.

The Visions is that good. Don’t miss the Marvel Premier Collection edition

Posted on by Leave a comment

The android Avenger known as the Vision wants to be human — and what’s more human than family? So he heads back to the beginning — to the laboratory where Ultron created him as a weapon. The place where he first rebelled against his destiny and imagined that he could be more — that he could be a man. There, he builds them. A wife, Virginia. Teenage twins, Viv and Vin. They look like him. They have his powers. They share his grandest ambition (or obsession): the unrelenting need to be ordinary. Behold the Visions! Theirs is a story of togetherness and tragedy — one that will set the former Avenger on course for a devastating confrontation with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
