Posted on by

Artist Ben Templesmith will join the team as interior artist on James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds’ bestselling thriller series The Department of Truth for an all-new story arc. This savage new chapter will begin next month with The Department of Truth #36 out from Image Comics.

In the early ’90s, cable TV is king and something ancient is watching from the static. Only Hunky—the reclusive son of the field office’s very first hunter—takes its threat seriously. And when Hunky notices primordial evil brewing at an evangelical theme park in the Florida Everglades, he may be the only one who can save the beautiful young woman named Charity caught in the middle of it all…

The Power Fantasy #12 Ignites Tensions. The New Story Arc Threatens Full-Scale Escalation.

Posted on by

The Eisner Award nominated The Power Fantasy by multiple award winning writer Kieron Gillen and fan-favorite artist Caspar Wijngaard, and published by Image Comics, will kick off a pulse-pounding new story arc with issue #12 next month. This new chapter will center around the enigmatic Etienne Lux character.

In The Power Fantasy #12, readers are drawn deeper into the chaos of Etienne Lux’s world—where the stakes are high and the consequences unimaginable. The issue opens with a gripping new development, brought on by the fallout of previous betrayals and power plays, and sets the stage for unpredictable confrontations to come. 

Gillen and Wijngaard’s The Power Fantasy is a Cuban Missile Crisis scenario reimagined through a cracked mirror of superhuman paranoia and ideological brinkmanship—except instead of nuclear warheads, the world teeters on the edge of annihilation at the hands of the weaponized superpowered few.

Locked in a deadly chess match over ideology and survival, The Power Fantasy builds a world where superpowered beings are the arms race—living warheads of ego, trauma, and propaganda.

The Power Fantasy‘s characters are trapped in a zero-sum game where escalation is easier than empathy, and every move risks planetary fallout. Trust is a luxury, diplomacy is performance, and every moment is a gamble with extinction.

The Power Fantasy #12 Cover A by Wijngaard (Lunar Code 0825IM0300) and The Power Fantasy #12 Cover B by Chloe Brailsford (Lunar Code 0825IM0300) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, October 8.

James Tynion IV, Tate Brombal, and Isaac Goodhart’s hit LGBTQ+ horror coming-of-age series The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos returns this June with a new terrifying story arc, Children of the Night. Dark Horse can now announce that each issue of Children of the Night will also feature a special 8-page flip-book backup story called “Monsters in Love.” The first issue’s story will be written and illustrated by Bradley Clayton and lettered by Aditya Bidikar, with stories by Chloe Brailsford, Marie Enger, and K Czap featured in future issues. Each story is a standalone story blending horror and romance in the style of classic EC comic anthologies, from the in-universe comic read by our hero Christopher Chaos. Along with covers by Noah Dao, Gabriel Hernández Walta, Michael Dialynas, and Sweeney Boo, issue #1 also includes back cover art illustrated by V. Gagnon.

A new school year begins for Christopher Chaos and his friends as he finds himself divided from his mentor, Adam Frankenstein, and searching for answers outside of any textbook. But when a dangerous new monster arrives in New Briar City with a mysterious hunter on his trail, a strange case develops that only Christopher can solve! Will the Monster Club survive their latest foe, or will they be torn apart–piece by bloody piece? This issue introduces the Chaosverse’s Dr. Henry Jekyll and a brand-new monster hunter known only as Helbound!

The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos: Children of the Night #1 (of 4) arrives in comic shops on June 18, 2025 and is now available for pre-order from your local comic shop for $4.99.
