Luke Arnold and Chris “Doc” Wyatt are co-writing an all-new graphic novel, Essentials. The ambitious 140-page sci-fi epic is the debut offering from The Lab Press, a new graphic novel publisher helmed by founder and CEO Nicholas Kalikow, who is joined by Editor-in-Chief Dagen Walker, Vice President of Business Development Diane Richey, and Chief Creative Officer and partner Mike Zagari. Essentials is already fully funded and then some on Kickstarter, so don’t miss out on this debut.
The original graphic novel features a stunning array of all-star comic artists: DaNi, Glenn Fabry, Jason Howard, Vince Locke, Brendan McCarthy, Andrea Mutti, M.K. Perker, and a cover by legendary artist Bill Sienkiewicz. Essentials features colors by Jordie Bellaire, Brad Simpson, and Wesley Wong and lettered by DC Hopkins of AndWorld Design. The book’s design and logo were created by Emma Price.
In Essentials, mathematician Harris Pax predicted the end of the world but failed to prevent it. Now he’s living alone in a bunker and his niece’s favorite toys have started talking to him. The good news? He’s not the world’s sole survivor. The bad news? The other survivors are trapped in alternate realities — imprisoned in imagined worlds full of zombies, robots, mythical creatures, and chaos. And now Harris Pax and an unlikely ally must travel the country on a quest to restore reality, save humanity, and defeat his new interdimensional nemesis: Snuggles.
And we have the exclusive reveal of the puppet based on Snuggles! Get your own Snuggles and a copy of Essentials now!

Magma Comix is partnering with Ruptura Estudios! The imprint will publish works of fiction with Hispanic appeal by creators from around the world, and will release three titles in 2024, beginning with the thrilling Western-noir with a supernatural twist, Hell’s Half Acre.
In Hell’s Half Acre, written by Magma founder and New York Times Best-selling author, Denton J. Tipton with art and Cover A by Ramon Bunge, the exciting new series features special variant covers by Chris Evenhuis and the first issue has a retailer incentive cover by Glenn Fabry.
Life is changing fast in 1904 Nashville but the sins of the past live free in a place called Hell’s Half Acre—where you can find gambling, sex and most any other debauchery ever dreamed. None do it better than Miss Marion’s, where a mysterious gambler named Britt sets in motion a chain of events that will have lawmen and outlaws alike aiming to put him six feet under. Will the woman that Britt scorned be his downfall or salvation when Hell comes calling?
Ruptura Estudios was originally founded in the 1990s amid the burgeoning scene of the so-called “new Mexican comic.” Over time, it has stepped in and out of the spotlight, changing its form and finding different ways to collaborate with other publishing houses. Now, nearly 30 years since its inception, it returns with its core mission intact: help creators and readers on journeys throughout different realities.
Hell’s Half Acre #1 drops in shops June 5th.
