Gone #3 wraps up the series with an overall ho-hum

Posted on by

Abi has been from one end of the galaxy to the other and just about the only place she hasn’t reached is the one place she’s most afraid to go…HOME. But fate, and her own steely will, have combined to send her there, and now she must confront a past secret that’s darker than the deepest depths of outer space.

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by
U & I #1

Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees #3 (IDW Publishing) – If you like serial killer stories, this is one to not be missed. Every issue has been amazing.

Gone #2 (DSTLRY) – Jock’s series has been interesting sci-fi about a stowaway on a spaceship and being caught between two warring factions.

The One Hand #1 (Image Comics) – Neo Novena detective Ari Nasser is about to retire with an enviable record, until a brutal murder occurs, bearing all the hallmarks of the “One Hand Killer”… which should be impossible, since Ari already put him away not once, but twice in the years before.

Pine and Merrimac #2 (BOOM! Studios) – Interesting private eye series, there’s some intriguing political intrigue involved in it all.

Thundercats #1 (Dynamite Entertainment) – The classic series is reborn in this new comic that has a hell of an order. This is a hot debut to not be missed!

Traveling the Mars #10 (Ablaze) – One of the best series on the shelf right now.

U & I #1 (AWA Studios) – The next chapter in the saga of the Resistance Universe focuses on an unlikely love story.

Ultimate Black Panther #1 (Marvel) – Already sold out, the second series of the new Ultimate Universe is here with a familiar but new take on Black Panther!

DSTLRY reveals new incentive covers for White Boat, Gone, and Somna

Posted on by

DSTLRY has revealed eleven covers for three upcoming issues all releasing in Spring 2024.

New series debut White Boat #1 by longtime collaborators Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla leads the charge on March 27th with open order and incentive variants that preview the Lovecraftian horrors within:

  • Cover A – Francesco Francavilla – Open Order
  • Cover B – Kelley Jones (Batman, The Sandman) – Open Order Variant
  • Cover C – Rafael Albuquerque (American Vampire, Blue Beetle) – 1:10 Incentive Variant
  • Cover D – Keyla Valerio (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Stranger Things) – 1:25 Incentive Variant
  • Cover E – Junko Mizuno (Pure Trance, Ravina the Witch?) – 1:50 Incentive Variant

From the acclaimed team behind Detective Comics and Night of the Ghoul comes a modern horror classic! White Boats are the mega-yachts that the super-rich use to traverse the globe—floating islands where your every desire can be fulfilled. And getting invited on board one should be a dream come true…that is until the crew traps and transports you to a remote island where secret cults have existed for millennia, working on something called “The Human Project.” Does the White Boat ship you to paradise or sink you into hell on earth? WHITE BOAT reunites Scott Snyder, the visionary writer who redefined comic book dread with Wytches and introduced Batman into a terrifying, cerebral era, with modern noir master Francesco Francavilla for a white-knuckle descent into Lovecraftian maritime madness!

Somna #3 also releases on March 27th from writer/artist duo Tula Lotay and Becky Cloonan, bringing the haunting erotic thriller to its gripping climax:

  • Cover A – Becky Cloonan – Open Order
  • Cover B – Tula Lotay – Open Order
  • Cover C – Emma Ríos (Pretty Deadly, Amazing Spider-Man) – 1:10 Incentive Variant
  • Cover D – Anwita Citriya (Yuuko’s Gloomy Days) – 1:25 Incentive Variant
  • Cover E – Pernille Ørum (DC Superhero Girls, Hit-Girl) – 1:50 Incentive Variant

The mystery of who killed Harald is finally solved, but is it too late for Ingrid to escape the harrowing clutches of the ethereal and deadly “Shadow Man”? More importantly, does she even WANT to escape, or has her new-found sexual awakening made it impossible to ever return?!

From the masterful minds of Becky Cloonan and Tula Lotay comes an intoxicating blend of history, eroticism, and the supernatural in SOMNA—an evocative masterpiece that draws inspiration from folk-horror staples like Midsommar and The Witch, and will transport readers to a world where passion and spirits intertwine, captivating your senses and leaving you craving more.

Finally, Gone #3 rockets onto shelves this April, concluding the first arc of writer/artist Jock’s journey across the cosmos:

  • Cover A – Jock – Open Order
  • Cover B – Jock – Open Order Variant
  • Cover C – Sam Wolfe Connelly – 1:10 Incentive Variant
  • Cover D – Rossi Gifford (Invincible Presents: Atom Eve, Riot Games) – 1:25 Incentive Variant
  • Cover E – Joëlle Jones (Lady Killer, Catwoman) – 1:50 Incentive Variant

Abi has been from one end of the galaxy to the other and just about the only place she hasn’t reached is the one place she’s most afraid to go…HOME. But fate, and her own steely will, have combined to send her there, and now she must confront a past secret that’s darker than the deepest depths of outer space. Beautifully written and drawn by JOCK, GONE comes to its heart-rending conclusion!

DSTLRY unveils new covers for Gone #2 and Somna #2

Posted on by

DSTLRY has revealed new covers for the second issues of Gone and Somna. The final order cut-off is December 10 through Lunar and December 11 from Diamond.

In Gone #2, it’s been fifteen years since we last saw ABI—a frightened 13-year-old stowaway on a spaceship bound for distant stars… Now nearly 30, Abi is not only still roaming the galaxy, but is a self-assured—and deeply scarred—veteran of an intergalactic war! Gone is in an action-packed sci-fi adventure where a young heroine has grown into a war-weary spacefarer who still dreams of one elusive goal…. getting home.

Gone #2, by Jock, features covers by Jock, Lee Garbett, Oliver Barrett, Matt Taylor, and Jamie McKelvie.

In Somna #2, set amidst the terrifying backdrop of the witch hunts in a quiet 1600s English village, Somna follows one woman’s erotic escape from the confines of her puritanical world. No one is above suspicion when the relentless Witch Hunter Roland draws his net around someone close to him as this darkly sexual thriller races towards its gripping conclusion!

Somna #2 is by Becky Cloonan and Tula Lotay and featuring covers by Lotay and Cloonan, Emily Carroll, Julian Totino Tedesco, Dani, and Christian Ward.

DSTLRY Launches its Digital Comics Reader Beta

DSTLRY has launched its beta v0.1 desktop reader at dstlry.co with the digital release of The Devil’s Cut. The digital debut of The Devil’s Cut is the first step towards a full mobile experience and marketplace, scheduled to debut in 2024.

The digital price of The Devil’s Cut will be $6.66. DSTLRY is recommending customers use the desktop reading experience; mobile reading is available but not fully stable in this beta v0.1 release. 

For a rundown on beta v0.1 and current & upcoming features, check out the intro video from DSTLRY co-founder and CEO David Steinberger.

DSTLRY’s digital store and reader beta fuses the excitement of New Comic Book Day with digital reading, while establishing a new revenue stream for creators. Mirroring the limited-run nature of print comics, DSTLRY’s digital releases will be available directly from the publisher on dstlry.co for one week—Wednesday through Tuesday—upon release. Mass market digital releases will follow when collections arrive in print.

DSTLRY’s first digital release is The Devil’s Cut, the company’s premier issue. Featuring 11 knockout short-stories from the publisher’s all-star lineup of Founding Creators and friends, the digital version of the 88-page mature-readers collection will be available for purchase directly from DSTLRY through December 12th. Gone #1 by Jock will debut digitally on December 13th alongside the first ownership benefit, and Somna #1 by Tula Lotay and Becky Cloonan will debut digitally alongside more digital benefits on December 20th.

The v0.1 beta of DSTLRY’s digital reader will allow fans to enjoy their comics library in full page view, fit to width, with basic +/- zooming controls on their desktops. While also available via mobile web browsers, the best experience for v0.1 is on desktop.

DSTLRY’s first series, Gone #1 by Jock, Sells Out at the Distributor Level

Posted on by

DSTLRY has announced the rapid sellout of Gone #1 at the distributor level. This inaugural series release, a 48-page masterpiece crafted by the acclaimed writer/artist Jock, made its highly anticipated debut last week in comic book shops, following a wave of glowing early reviews and months of fervent fan anticipation. You can watch our review.

While DSTLRY distribution partners Diamond Comic Distributors and Lunar Distribution have exhausted their inventories, avid comic enthusiasts might still find a copy of the release at their local comic shops.

Jock’s Gone features the tale of Abi, a 13-year-old on a distant, impoverished planet who stows away on a colossal luxury space-liner, hoping for a better life. After her friends betray her, Abi finds herself branded a saboteur as she desperately struggles to evade the ship’s deadly crew to stay alive and get home!

Spinning out of Jock’s 8-page story “The Stowaway” from DSTLRY’s debut release The Devil’s Cut, Gone is an action-packed sci-fi adventure edited by industry legend Will Dennis.
