His name is Hyunsung Lee, but most people call him Creees. He recently graduated from SVA, School of Visual Arts in New York City, and he learned the ancient ways in becoming a comic artist. People often ask him how long he’s been drawing and my answer is, “Basically my whole life.” He still has a drawing from when he was 3 or 4 years old hung up on his wall. His childhood was all about drawing Dragonball Z characters and Batman…it was a pretty good childhood. Even though he stopped drawing Dragonball Z characters, he still continues to draw superheroes. Drawing is something he does because it literally keeps him alive; he can’t imagine life if he wasn’t able to draw. Now, he’s striving to become an awesome DC or Marvel comic artist…you know, like Jim Lee? Jim Lee is one of his greatest inspirations, as well as the incredible Kenneth Rocafort. Other inspirations of his are Klaus Janson, who was also his mentor at SVA, Matteo Scalera, and Sean Murphy. Their works are amazing and he hopes that later he will have the same impact on others as they did for him.
Pornsak Pichetshote is a Thai-American award-winning writer of comics and TV. He began his career as a rising star editor at DC’s Vertigo imprint before overseeing DC Entertainment’s TV department, helping spearhead what would become the CW’s Arrowverse of shows.

Studios.
Ethan Sacks is best known as the writer of Marvel’s Old Man Hawkeye, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and Star Wars: Bounty Hunters. He also wrote the award-winning nonfiction comics, COVID Chronicles and Climate Crisis Chronicles for AWA Studios, as well as several stories for DC Comics. His first Star Wars comic for Dark Horse was just announced. He teamed with his daughter, Naomi, to write the acclaimed Image Comics series, A Haunted Girl, inspired by her real-life battles with depression and suicidality. Before comics, he was a 20-year veteran at the New York Daily News, covering film and geek culture. He also contributes occasionally to NBC News.

A look at a failed superhero who crossed the line, killing his mortal foe after finding out his young sidekick had been murdered by them, and his return. Written and created by acclaimed writer Frank Tieri.
There was a time when the Red Alert shone in the sky, and Empire City’s greatest hero, the Crimson Justice, would answer the call. But now it’s been years and neither he–nor his sidekick Reddy nor their psychotic arch foe, Dr Mayhem–have been seen since the Great Empire City Hospital Fire decades ago. What happened that fateful night? Did they all die? But if that’s the case, who or what is this Dr Mayhem who’s reappeared in the modern day, brutally murdering Commissioner Thomas Kent and challenging the Justice to return? Is that possible? Does the Crimson Justice still live? And if so, what could have made him disappear and abandon his crimson hood in the first place?
Join the Eisner-nominated team of Frank Tieri and Inaki Miranda (GODZILLA: HERE THERE BE DRAGONS, HARLEY QUINN, CATWOMAN) as they unravel the mystery in this 5 issue series of heroes and villains–and the consequences of being either.
Godzilla’s Monsterpiece Theatre Presents: Godzilla’s The Odyssey #1
(W) Frank Tieri (A) Ilias Kyriazis
Godzilla’s tour of the literary canon continues as it smashes its way across The Odyssey in this oversize standalone one-shot!
Homer’s The Odyssey is widely considered to be the greatest epic of all time. So, how could you possibly make it more epic? Fill it with kaiju, that’s how. Odysseus’ journey home was already challenging enough, but what if instead of storms, sirens, and cyclopes, the gods sent monsters even more powerful than the titans? And what if Zeus sent the most powerful one of all to assist the king on his odyssey? It’s like Homer said: “Of all creatures that breathe and move upon the earth, nothing is bred that is stronger than Godzilla.”
Written by Frank Tieri, illustrated by Ilias Kyriazis, and featuring part two of Tom Scioli’s Godzilla vs. Robin Hood.
