Decisions made and irreversible actions collide on The Hollywood Special

Posted on by

All aboard The Hollywood Special, the 1942 luxury train touring the United States to support the war effort. On board is fading star Vivian Drake, doing her part to boost morale and finally give the tabloids something other than her nose diving career and shambles of a family life to write about. But when the Special pulls into the coal-mining town of Minersville, PA, amid the collapse of a mine, Vivian finds herself facing every failure and bad memory she’s bottled up in the form of what the miners found in the dark—the thing they call the Mismatch Man, who feeds on pain and regret. And Vivian’s got both in spades.  This special is the second issue in the anthology series created by critically acclaimed writer Scott Snyder.  Each issue is a standalone story shining the spotlight on a promising new creative team hand picked by Snyder. 

Writer Jeremy Lambert, artist Claire Roe, and colorist Jordie Bellaire bring you an all-new entry into Scott Snyder’s Dark Spaces line of white-knuckle thrillers, a character-driven tale of memories, mines, and the things we do our damndest to sweep under the rug. 

Dark Spaces: The Hollywood Special arrives in shops on August 16, 2023.

Poison Ivy Vol. 1: The Virtuous Cycle

Pamela Isley’s comic book journey continues and grows! DC has announced that the originally planned six-issue mini-series, Poison Ivy, will become an ongoing series beginning with Poison Ivy #13 in June 2023. The series was already extended to a second six-issue arc in December 2022.

Written by G. Willow Wilson, with art by Marcio Takara and covers by Jessica Fong, fan-favorite Poison Ivy’s quest to undo the wrongs of man and return the Earth to the Green persists…at whatever the cost.

If you missed the first six issues, Poison Ivy Vol. 1: The Virtuous Cycle, collects Poison Ivy #1-6 in a gorgeous hardcover book, and arrives on May 16, 2023.

Poison Ivy’s second story arc kicked off with two issues of interior art by Atagun Ilhan. Series regular artist Takara then returned to interior art in February’s Poison Ivy #9, available now wherever comics are sold.

When Poison Ivy #13 publishes in June 2023, the hit DC title becomes an ongoing comic book series and brings Pamela Isley back to Gotham City! Poison Ivy #13 will have a DC Pride variant cover by Claire Roe along with main cover by Fong and variants by Kai Carpenter, Frank Cho, and Mindy Lee.

BOOM! Studios has revealed a first look at Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer #1, the first issue in a brand new four-issue comic book series out on December 8, 2021. From acclaimed writer Casey Gilly and artist Joe Jaro comes a dystopian tale of the iconic Slayer, Buffy Summers, like you’ve never seen her before.

Can a lone Slayer save what’s left of humanity? Buffy Summers is the last Slayer. Now in her 50s, she wages a one woman fight against the forces of darkness, who prey on humanity in the daylight unimpeded thanks to a magical catastrophe that has nearly blotted out the sun. The same disaster robbed Buffy of her friends and ended the Slayer-line, forcing her into an endless guerilla war. That is, until she stumbles across something she hasn’t seen in a long time – hope, in the form of a prophecy and the young girl who carries it…

Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer #1 features main cover art by acclaimed illustrator Ario Anindito and variant cover art by fan favorite artists Rod Reis, Dani Pendergast, Jakub Rebelka, Claire Roe, and Giuseppe Camuncoli.
