Now Palicki and AHOY Comics are teaming up once again for Dragonproof, a graphic novel written by Palicki and illustrated by acclaimed artist Giulia Lalli.

Somewhere in the Pacific Northwest on an ill-fate camping trip, Ashleigh Cole stumbles upon a dying dragon in the woods, its hide peppered with bullet wounds and tattooed with U.S. military markings. Ash returns to her mundane life, convinced her experience in the woods was all just a hallucination—until she begins to display some oddly dragonlike characteristics herself. Compelled by voices in her mind, Ash undertakes a mission to rescue other captive dragons and help the mythical creatures escape—but the shadowy government organization determined to turn them into weapons of mass destruction has other plans.

Ennis and Burrows take their sword-and-sorcery heroine even further down the Black Road! What if the Triple Orb of Mordynn—a token of unimaginable evil, of inconceivable power—were in Babs’ hands? What if she wanted to sell it? And what if the buyer were dangerous? What then, hmm?
This fall the Toxic Avenger will come face to face with his evil duplicate, The Noxious Offender, in a five-part, can’t-miss comic book event extravaganza by writer Matt Bors and art by Felipe Sobreiro.

NOXIE makes the comic book debut of the Noxious Offender in a comic, following his iconic introduction in Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV, the fourth installment of The Toxic Avenger franchise.
An evil duplicate of Toxie appears in our dimension… How he came to this main universe, and why, is a mystery—but it seems to relate to Toxie’s long-lost estranged dad, who left him and his mother when he was five, suddenly showing up trying to be involved in his life. Meanwhile Toxie’s girlfriend Yvonne is pregnant with Toxie’s mutant baby and the two are deciding to become young parents. Toxie wants to become a father—and a good one—but first he must confront his dark side, who begins ruling Tromaville in his name and changing the rules. Will Toxie and Yvonne save Tromaville from—er—himself? Will Toxie be a better father than the disastrous Hugh J Payne? Will the real Toxic Avenger please stand up?!

Meet Rodney Coleman, an unhoused veteran whose sleep is haunted by dreams of a faraway planet. (At least, he thinks they’re dreams.) Soon Coleman connects with others plagued by dreams of the same world and finds himself at the head of a UFO cult. The group’s shared effort to understand their visions is heartfelt at first—but over time it descends into unreality, conspiracy, paranoia, violence, and conceivably… revelation.
The campaign includes a slew of unique tiers and exclusive extras that only the “Expect More-igans” at AHOY could dream up, including a paperback edition signed by writer Mark Russell; exclusive hardcover editions featuring variant covers by Russ Braun, Matt Bors, and Mark Russell; enamel pins featuring AHOY fan-favorite characters; prints; bathrobes; hour-long Zoom calls with Mark Russell, Russ Braun, and Editor-in-Chief Tom Peyer; and (most crucially) a virtual lock of Tom Peyer’s hair. More extras and add-ons will be announced during the campaign.
We have an exclusive look at the enamel pins you can get with your copy of The Forgotten Divine. Don’t miss out pins featuring the Ahoy logo, “Forgotten Divine Astronaut Ghost,” “Forgotten Divine Crackpot,” Dragonflyman, Edgar Allan Poe, and Marquis de Cocoa Cereal.
