The Thing on the Doorstep comes to send shivers up your spine in February 2026

Posted on by

Award-winning writer Simon Birks and acclaimed artist Willi Roberts join letterer Rob Jones to bring to life a chilling new series titled, The Thing on the Doorstep. This five issue miniseries is based upon the classic tale of the same name by H.P. Lovecraft and will hit shelves from Image and Top Cow on February 11, 2026.

The Thing on the Doorstep draws readers into the shadowed labyrinth of friendship warped by forces not meant for human witness. Daniel Upton and Edward Derby have been bound together since youth—until the day Daniel puts a bullet in his closest companion within the bleak walls of Arkham Sanitarium. Though all evidence damns him, Daniel claims innocence, hinting at horrors that mock reason itself. Within these pages, readers uncover the terrible truth: the birth of a doomed relationship and Edward Derby’s gradual surrender to realms of dread that lie just beyond the fragile veil.

Top Cow’s St. Mercy: Godland leaps into a new era of obsession: The Gods of the Golden Age of Hollywood

Posted on by

Top Cow Productions, Inc has partnered with EP1T0ME Studios, Inc. once again to launch St. Mercy: Godland, the next installment of the hit action/adventure series, St. Mercy. 

In this new chapter, writer John Zuur Platten and artist Atilio Rojo catapult Mercy from the dangers of the Incan Empire and the American West into the ruthless, golden era of 1930’s Hollywood. It features lettering by Troy Peteri.

In St. Mercy: Godland, Mercedes Oro finds herself immortal, forever tethered to the cursed ancient Incan gold, and in constant struggle with the Incan gods who deem her both a threat and an opportunity. Now, with the spirit of Toctolissica inside her, and her demon sister Quispe beside her, Mercy heads to 1930s Hollywood – a different golden age with gods of its own. Will Mercy’s  newfound star power be enough to hold the past at bay, or will the power of the gods force her into the bloody center of a conflict even she can’t survive?

St. Mercy: Godland Cover A by Atilio Rojo, and Cover B by Lyndon White, will be in comic shops on April 10th, 2024.

Posted on by

Due to the positive response, Top Cow Productions’ latest sci-fi adventure series, Antarctica by Simon Birks and Willi Roberts has been greenlit to be an ongoing series. The sci-fi comic was originally solicited as a five issue series.

Though Antarctica has been a unique blend of Stargate and His Dark Materials, the second arc will throw readers back to a time before Hannah’s father, Jerome, disappeared. The creators will continue to deliver twists and turns, introduce new characters—both good and bad—and the excitement and mystery will continue to play out against the backdrop of snow and ice. 

Antarctica #6 Cover A by Willi Roberts and Antarctica #6 Cover B by Lyndon White will be in comic shops on Wednesday, December 13 and also available on digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.

Antarctica #1 kicks off a mystery you need to just roll with

Antarctica #1

Hannah’s life imploded the day her father failed to return from the secretive Smith-Petersen Research Station in Antarctica. Alone and on the street, she’s at her lowest ebb when a friend offers help. Retrained as an engineer, Hannah secures a job at the same Antarctic station to search for her father and stumbles headfirst into a conspiracy that threatens everything she’s ever believed. Antarctica #1 kicks off an intriguing mystery, you just need to ignore some things to enjoy it.

Written by Simon Birks, Antarctica #1 is an interesting start. We’re given a bit of an emotional ride as we learn about Hannah and her father and her slide after he disappears. It’s a hell of a slide that’s not really explained. While her emotional fallout makes sense, she also becomes homeless living on the streets. None of that is explained, it overall feels like a rather unneeded journey for Hannah. She is befriended by a bar owner, is encouraged to go to school, and then gets hired by the same company her father worked for. What? It’s a journey that feels a bit like a stretch. It’s never explained how she can afford school. The company not connecting her to her father feels a bit odd as well. It’s small details that feel like a bump on the journey to the morse interesting Antarctica.

The art by Willi Roberts is good. With lettering by Lyndon White, there’s a nice emotional ride in the first 2/3 of the comic as we’re taken through Hannah’s rough journey.. When we eventually get to Antarctica, there’s a coldness not in the white snow, but in the blacks, greys, and reds of the location. It’s all decent art but nothing quite jumps out or really uses its locations to deliver a bit more to the journey.

Antarctica #1 is an ok start. It takes a while to get going and there’s some odd distractions along the way but the end of the comic delivers. It’s enough to want to see what happens next, let’s hope it gets more to the point going forward.
