OUT OF THE FRYING PAN AND INTO THE FIRE!
With things getting too hot to handle back in Brooklyn, Elvira and Harley abscond to the cooler climes of Transylvania to crash with one of Elvira’s best buddies in his tastefully appointed castle.

Dynamite reveals the ThunderCats X SilverHawks Crossover!

Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have unveiled the key creative and story details for the kickoff of the 15-part interconnected epic comics story ThunderCats X SilverHawksNow, with so many superstars involved, the full slate of variant covers across all three involved titles is revealed!

Ed Brisson and Declan Shalvey are writing this historic crossover. Fans who have been longtime fans of his, and even those continuing here from his preceding prolific run on the flagship ThunderCats series know Declan is also an artistic powerhouse. His three covers across ThunderCats X SilverHawks #1Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living #1, and ThunderCats X SilverHawks: ThunderHawks were shown in the initial announcement for this event. One additional way his art is being showcased is a sweet incentive cover featuring his layouts for his story. This is a novel collectible for fans of the behind the scenes process of comics creation, and an exclusive look at this side of storytelling.

On other covers, Shalvey is joined by familiar favorites from the ongoing ThunderCats and SilverHawks comics era, as well as shining stars making their first contributions to the comic book franchise. 

ThunderCats X SilverHawks #1 also features covers by Lucio Parrillo, Eric Canete, and Ben Oliver.

To portray the powerful archnemesis for Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living #1, artists Rapha Lobosco, Danny Earls, John Amor, and Erica D’Urso join the ‘Cats crew.

Meanwhile to add to the fun of perhaps the most enigmatic of the three titles, Vincenzo Federici, Ivan Tao, Marco Failla, and Alessandro Ranaldi craft covers for ThunderCats X SilverHawks: ThunderHawks #1.

In addition to all these juggernauts of comics, each issue also offers a fun animation cover, capturing the nostalgic memory of the original beloved show. Mumm-Ra #1 also adds an illustrated piece from the Warner Bros. Discovery vault. 

The iconic voice of Lion-O himself, Larry Kenney, will also be signing ultra-limited covers available on each series.

Mystery blind bag offerings are also available on the titles, which are set to include additional surprise variants!

Vampirella’s New “Season” from Christopher Priest Debuts This April!

Vampirella invites fans to bite into her next “season” of scintillating stories this coming April from industry icon Christopher Priest and artist Davis Goetten. This next chapter in the ongoing epic going on over half a decade starts in Vampirella #1, intended as a convenient jumping-on point for new and returning readers.

The Daughter of Drakulon isn’t the only such fearsome blood-sucker from the planet and family legacy. Her sister Draculina has recently lost her Vampiri powers, as well as the baby she wrested away from Vampirella. Now shackled with humanity, her already fragile psyche risks shattering when her thirst for blood unexpectedly creeps back. Confronted with the prospect of once again being consumed by the evil appetites that had controlled her for centuries, she sets out on a desperate quest to break the patterns of her past and find new answers — or die trying! And how does Vampirella herself factor into these next chapters?

Christopher Priest continues his critically acclaimed and signature approach to the franchise known as the longest running vampire comic book. Priest stands as the creator with the longest continuous un with Vampirella, cresting over 90 issues going back to 2019 with the franchise. The character also marches onwards to a historic issue #700. With the legacy numbering, this new Vampirella #1 also functions as #688. The major milestone is just about a year away! Dynamite can’t wait to celebrate that event with fans who have been with the character over five decades, or are getting to know her in this very issue. 

This new debut issue features ravishingly riveting variants from superstars Lucio Parrillo, Derrick Chew, Joseph Michael Linsner, Elias Chatzoudis, as well as a cosplay cover from model Rachel Hollon.

Additionally, collectors can check out some exciting premium mystery blind bags for the issue. These bags contain three limited edition variants of the issue, selected randomly from a large range exclusive to it.

Savage Tales Slashes Into a New Giant-Sized Special!

Fans of savage action, powerful pulp, and Dynamite‘s biggest characters are getting another treat this April, as the publisher announces Giant-Sized Savage Tales.

Revered for his fun-filled fables of Elvira Mistress of the Dark, Bettie Page, and more, writer David Avallone returns for another batch of tales tapping into his pulp pedigree. The extra length 40-pager is packed with four fabulous hard-hitting chapters featuring a mix of the top Women of Dynamite and classics of the pulp era. He’s joined by a trio of artists flexing their talents in these pulse-pounding shorts.

Recent The Kubert School graduate Mariano Benitez-Chapo has made it a tradition to connect with Avallone in these semi-annual specials. Here he handles two tales, continuing the “His War” story arc for Captain Gullivar Jones, as well as taking on the Daughter of Drakulon. Fans will not want to miss the haunting fable of “Vampirella Noir.”

Powerhouse illustrator Pasquale Qualano pumps his artistry into a showcase of the She-Devil With a Sword in “Red Sonja: The Exile.”

Last but certainly not least, the grin-forcing stylings of Sebastián Píriz wraps up one of Avallone’s new pulp adventures with “The Last Allan Quatermain Story.”

To celebrate this Savage spring special, a crop of cool covers is a necessity and Dynamite’s assembled team came through! Bjorn Barends pulls double duty here with covers in his signature style featuring both Red Sonja and Vampirella. Then model Ivy Cosplay slips into the costumes of both characters for solo shots as well as through the power of editing a team-up shot! 

Collectors looking to level up their experience with this special release can opt for the exciting mystery blind bag! This bag will contain three limited edition variants of the issue, selected randomly from a range of covers exclusive to the offering.

JUSTICE KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES! Worlds collide as two of the most beloved entries in the legendary Disney Afternoon lineup of animated shows meet for the first time ever in a brand-new title crafted by both series’ original authors!

Gargoyles creator GREG WEISMAN and Darkwing Duck creator TAD STONES join forces with acclaimed artist CIRO CANGIALOSI to bring the Defenders of St. Canard and the Manhattan Clan together for an adventure so epic that no single continuity could contain it! After contacting a wary Morgana Macawber through her magic mirror, the scheming Demona whisks the uncooperative sorceress out of St. Canard and into her New York City lair, where she proceeds to grill Morgana for the location of a certain mystical tome with enough eldritch energy to allow Demona to finally conquer the world. Darkwing Duck, of course, isn’t about to take this lying down. As soon as he learns about Morgana’s abduction, DW and his stalwart sidekick Launchpad McQuack are in the air, racing towards the Big Apple to rescue his avian amour. But will the Terror That Flaps in the Night be able to handle the City That Never Sleeps — not to mention the stone guardians who protect it? Find out in the action-packed first issue of GARGOYLES/DARKWING DUCK, featuring tantalizingly transformative covers by STONES, CANGIALOSI, DECLAN SHALVEY, and IVAN BIGARELLA — as well as an exclusive BLIND BAG VARIANT!

WELCOME TO SCRUMP WORLD! Lilo’s beloved doll Scrump takes center stage when Dr. Jumba “borrows” her for a new experiment. As part of his research into novel avenues of scientific villainy (purely theoretical, of course!), Jumba wires Scrump up to a new device designed to turn his enemies into dolls. It’s a simple proof-of-concept procedure with no real risks — but considering that Stitch is loose in the lab, maybe Jumba shouldn’t have made the button that says “DO NOT PRESS!” quite so big, red, and shiny! In the aftermath, Jumba, Agent Pleakley, and Stitch find themselves pondering new lives as adorably undersized playthings while a newly mobile (and considerably enlarged) Scrump heads out to see the world. But how far-reaching are the effects of Jumba’s latest technological breakthrough? And more important: are they reversible?

Discover the surprising answers in STITCH #5, from creative action figures CONNOR RATLIFF, JAMES III, and GRETA XELLA — featuring backing card covers from EDWIN GALMON, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, CIRO CANGIALOSI, and GEORGE KAMBADAIS!
