Malevolent #1 is an entertaining debut but a familiar concept

Thirty years ago, we unleashed demons into the world. But humans can adapt to anything, even a demon haunted world. But now, humanity has created something new. A weapon that can kill demons. If she doesn’t kill us first.

Revival is getting a compendium paperback edition this September

The beloved bestselling series Revival—by fan-favorite writer Tim Seeley, artist Mike Norton, and colorist Mark Englert with lettering by Crank!—will be collected in its entirety into one complete compendium paperback edition this September. This Revival Compendium will feature hauntingly beautiful cover art by Jenny Frison and be available from Image Comics.

It will include Revival issues #1-47 of the Harvey Award nominated series, plus the Free Comic Book Day Revival short story, the Revival/Chew crossover one-shot, a Frison cover art gallery, and many additional behind-the-scenes bonuses and special content.

Revival first launched at Image in 2012 and took the industry by storm with multiple sell-outs and reprints, a bevy of award nominations, and critical accolades that shot the title to the top of the sales charts. The Revival series has since sold over 1 million copies across all formats and continues to be one of Image’s most reordered backlist titles today.

In Revival, for one day in rural central Wisconsin, the dead came back to life. Now, it’s up to Officer Dana Cypress to deal with the media scrutiny, religious zealots, and government quarantine that has come with them. In a town where the living have to learn to deal with those who are supposed to be dead, Officer Cypress must solve the brutal murder of her own sister. Now everyone, alive or undead, is a suspect, while Em Cypress, murder victim, keeps getting in Dana’s way.

Oni reveals a Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters Limited Edition Exclusive Deluxe Hardcover Slipcase

Oni Press has announced an Oni exclusive edition of the three-time Ringo Award–winning, critically acclaimed, monster-punching hit by renowned comics creator Chris Samnee and co-creator Laura SamneeJonna and the Unpossible Monsters Deluxe Edition Slipcase Hardcover collects all twelve issues of the highly acclaimed series in an oversize, ultra-premium hardcover–complete with a high-quality slipcase featuring wraparound, foil-stamped artwork by Chris Samnee himself. The Deluxe Edition Slipcase Hardcover is limited to 250 copies and will be available exclusively in the Oni Press shop

New editions will also feature an exclusive look at the “Making of”Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters, with creator insights, concept sketches, and behind-the-scenes details that will be present in both the Deluxe Edition Slipcase Hardcover and the widely available Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters Deluxe Edition–which is available at retailers now.

Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters is an iconic masterpiece that readers of all ages can enjoy; the compelling, heart-warming series is jam-packed with action, adventure, and intensely colorful visuals– Jonna tells a story with both sisterly love and post-apocalyptic monster smack-downs.

With the fate of their family and possibly the whole world at stake, can Jonna and Rainbow rescue their dad, battle countless monsters, and tell each other how they really feel?

Jonna and Rainbow are sisters, but that doesn’t mean they’re all that similar: Rainbow’s the bookish one, Jonna is the whirlwind. Jonna’s also incredibly strong and nearly invulnerable—which will come in handy as they search the ruined, monster-infested wasteland that was once their home while looking for their missing father. Their world, once lush and bountiful, has been overrun by giant monsters and prickly, unnatural vines that strangle the life from the natural flora and fauna.

Their differences sometimes feel bigger than they know how to handle, but the girls set out across the broken land to reunite their family, following other survivors and word of mouth from one place to the next. From a cave of huddled refugees to a hidden city of humans that have built a home in the shattered remnants of a mighty redwood forest, things are rarely what they seem. One thing is for certain, it’s a thrill-ride from start to finish, and Rainbow and Jonna won’t stop till they find their father . . . and maybe even save the world!

Collects issues #1–12 of the instant classic of all-ages comics by co-writer/artist Chris Samnee, co-writer Laura Samnee, colorist Matthew Wilson, and letterer Crank!

From the mind’s eye of master storyteller Cullen Bunn (The Sixth GunBasilisk) and rising star Arjuna Susini (Made Men) comes a darkly glamorous tale of bone-splintering terror at the intersection of shadow and light… dream and nightmare… life and the grim specter of Death himself.

After weeks of grueling rehearsals, a new production is set to begin at the famed Requiem theatre: Razide’s Lament, three acts of gothic horror set inside a haunted castle with a story that some say is more than mere fantasy. Under the stern rule of a dedicated but temperamental director, the script seems to be ever-changing, and, more mysterious still, our lead actress has found herself cast in the role of a lifetime without so much as an audition.

So Rick averted a Goldenfold invasion and sent Morty’s girlfriend into another dimension. Big deal. Well, now Morty’s mad for some reason and has gone to save Noelle. In his absence, hyper tech-bro and Rick fanboy Glug Vronsky swoops in to…impress Rick or something? Is this the end of Rick AND Morty? Rick and Glug? Doesn’t have the same ring to it.
