This might be Lola and Jimmy’s last Halloween. Not because they’re aging out at 12-years-old…there’s a 12-foot-tall lawn skeleton on a rampage in their neighborhood!
Lola is a triple threat of social suicide: goth girl, new kid, and outspoken feminist. Meanwhile, Jimmy is a bookish, quiet, bullied kid trying to enjoy his favorite holiday between cancer treatments.
When Lola discovers she might have a much stronger connection with the malevolent force inhabiting the skeleton than she could ever imagine possible, it’s up to Jimmy to inspire them to face certain danger and embrace the future rather than run from their traumatic pasts.
Aaron Campbell, Tim Seeley, and Ben Templesmith present a Halloween story with the heart and soul of a classic Spielberg film alongside all the spills, chills, and horrifying thrills of everyone’s favorite 1980s slasher movies!
12-Foot Skeleton #1 comes to shops on October 14, 2026.

One-hit-wonder novelist C. Scott Fredriksson’s perfect heist plan was in place, but after a gut-dropping first issue reveal, it’s clear the stakes are out of control. Scott’s questionable recruits might have a little something to do with it…
When your crew is made up of your childhood best friend and devil-on-your-shoulder Andy; Andy’s impressionable cousin Dusty, the perfect gopher; getaway-driver and walking liability Jake “Balls” Boehls; and Dazzles Deitemeyer, an exotic dancer (between gigs) who’s flexible enough to slide under the lasers they’re sure they’ll encounter – what could possibly go wrong?
See where it all goes south as Wisconsin’s worst criminal minds work overtime to plot their escape!

Novelist C. Scott Frederiksson hasn’t written anything of note in years. He’s about to lose his adjunct position at the University, be dropped by his agent, and possibly dumped if he doesn’t publish a hit and soon.
Scott has it all figured out. A masterfully scripted spectacle to dazzle the masses without doing any real harm. A local celebrity will be robbed of her prized possessions, and Scott will come out on the other side as an antihero, showered with publicity and a lucrative new book deal.
But he can’t do it alone. Every compelling heist needs a crack team of like-minded crooks, and Scott’s top recruits are his old high school D&D group and their ragtag townie friends coming in clutch with the getaway Geo Storm.
It’ll either be the greatest story C. Scott Frederiksson has ever told, or someone’s going to end up dead. Maybe both!

Founder of the legacy indy comic book publisher and studio Devil’s Due, Josh Blaylock is not only a prolific comic book writer and artist, but an expert in licensing and pop culture trends. He began publishing comics while still a teenager, rising to fame six years later with the license acquisition and resurrection of G.I. Joe, Voltron, and other classic properties in the comic space, to huge success. The first of their kind, his comics launched a nostalgia wave that is still felt to this day, and pioneered a trend of independent publishers seizing the spotlight by revitalizing major licensed brands. He is most known for his supernatural action comic Mercy Sparx, and the world of characters surrounding it (currently in development as a major motion picture), with several other creations translated into toys, film, and television. Having published and written over 1,000 comic books with over $70 million in sales, Josh also regularly collaborates on projects in entertainment, fashion, and tech, including for North Coast Music Fest, Adidas, Pixel Vault, Hannibal Buress, Diplo, 0n1 Force, A System of a Down, Louis the Child, and more. His non-fiction book, How to Self-Publish Comics: Not Just Create Them, was made required reading at Savannah College of Art & Design.
Aaron Campbell is known for his critically acclaimed work on titles including Hellblazer: Dead in America, Suicide Squad: Blaze, and the award-winning John Constantine: Hellblazer. He is the co-creator of Infidel (Image Comics), named one of the best horror stories of all time and one of the best books of 2018 by NPR. Aaron is also the co-writer of West of Sundown (Vault Comics) as well as being a prolific cover artist.
Matthew Clark started his career in earnest in 1997 working at the art studio, Studiosaurus. In 1999, Matthew became the regular artist on DC’s Wonder Woman, following that with Felon from Top Cow (written by frequent collaborator Greg Rucka). Since then, Clark has worked for DC Comics (including Teen Titans, The Outsiders, Adventures of Superman, Doom Patrol), Marvel (notably, Ghost Rider, The Punisher, The Amazing Spider-Man), and Valiant (Bloodshot, Harbinger), as well as contributing artwork for Kurt Busiek’s acclaimed series, Astro City.

Brian Haberlin is an award winning American comic book artist, writer, editor, and producer. He is best known as the co-creator of the Witchblade franchise and for his innovative augmented reality and pioneering digital art style.
Haberlin started his career working at Lorimar/Warner Brothers Television, but eventually he gave up his job at Warner Brothers in order to pursue a career in comics, his life-long passion.
Haberlin began his career in comics working at Top Cow Productions, where he developed most of the modern methods of comic book production used today. He rose to VP of Creative Affairs while there and ran the creative side of the company. While there he co-created Witchblade, prompted by the lack of realistic female superheroes in comics. The Witchblade franchise has since expanded to include multiple spin-offs, a live action television series, and an anime series.
Haberlin formed his own studio soon after, producing work for Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and Image Comics. He then started Avalon Publishing. Through Avalon, he published/created many successful fantasy and sci-fi titles, including Stone (highest selling independent comic the year released), a fantasy series which incorporated elements of Filipino mythology, Aria (#2 selling comic in the U.S. in its release), an urban fantasy, Area 52, a science fiction title, Nine Rings of the Wu-Tang, and M-Rex, which has been adapted into the successful Cartoon Network series Generator Rex. And many others.
Haberlin became Editor in Chief for Todd McFarlane Productions in 2006, and penciled and inked its flagship title, Spawn, for two years during David Hine’s run as writer.
In 2012, Haberlin formed Anomaly Productions with Skip Brittenham to produce truly innovative cross-platform content, and comics that routinely sell out and are top sellers in their releases, with Anomaly, Anomaly: The Rubicon, Shifter, Faster Than Light, Between Worlds, Sonata, Creative Creature Catcher, The Marked, Hellcop, and Lighthouse at the End of the Universe currently in release as graphic novels, comics, children’s books, and augmented reality apps, with the upcoming, Fury Formula and Love Inc. to debut in the coming months.
He has been featured in many books and magazines around the world such as: Wired, Rolling Stone, Imagine FX, 3D World, Creating Comics from Start to Finish, Secrets of Painter Experts, and Secrets of ZBrush Artists to name just a few.
He routinely speaks around the country and world from The Wall Street Journal’s All Things D, to the South Korean KOCCA academic conference and currently has 3-4 hours of his own panels each year at San Diego Comic Con.
Haberlin also runs Digitalarttutorials.com and Traditionalarttutorials.com that produce art education tutorials from his methods. He teaches comic art at Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and his work is in the permanent collection at the Smithsonian Museum.
Haberlin has also entered the fine art community, being featured recently in two prestigious magazines: American Art Collector (cover) and Beautiful Bizarre Magazine, and having his work featured in five gallery shows this year.
