Super Science Vol. 1 is wacky, weird, and a hell of a lot of fun

Posted on by

Super Science is a sci-fi/comedy about a world where the limits of human imagination have become real. For five days the entire sky over twelve spots across the globe turn amethyst purple. The inexplicable result was in each location, professional engineers and scientists, as well as tinkers, amateur inventors, and high school science teachers were able to create scientific and engineering breakthroughs in ways far surpassing the world’s top scientific institutions. Our story starts three years later in Los Angeles, where a breed of actual superheroes and super villains are emerging.

Dealing with this new phenomenon is LAPD’s new “Mad Scientist Division.” Our two main characters are the no-nonsense Sergeant Esmerelda Villanueva and her idealistic young partner, Officer Jack Mantle. Other main characters are manipulative industrialist Burt Montague, and his bold lab assistant Felicia Bari; perpetually unlucky Karen Katz, a former biology teacher who has turned herself into a human-cat hybrid; Esmerelda’s son Gabe, who might be the smartest teenager on the planet; and finally, nefarious super villain Dr. Cornelius Otherland, and his nemesis, bumbling superhero Gas Giant.

Tall Tales: A Dose of The Surreal From G. Willow Wilson, M.K. Perker, and Berger Books

Posted on by

Dark Horse and Berger Books present a strange new mystery from G. Willow Wilson, renowned writer of Poison Ivy, Ms. Marvel Alif the Unseen and the Eisner-award winning Invisible Kingdom and accomplished illustrator M.K. Perker. The two previously collaborated on the hit series Air, recently brought back to print in four volumes from Dark Horse and Berger Books and the graphic novel Cairo. Their new tale The Stoneshore Register also features letterer Richard Bruning. Set against the backdrop of a sleepy Pacific Northwest fishing town, The Stoneshore Register is a graphic novel that finds the ordinary in the extraordinary, and the mystery in the mundane.

When Fadumo, a young journalist on the run from her own past arrives to work at the Stoneshore Register, she is entering a far stranger place than she realizes. At first, the colossal stone giant overlooking the rundown, seemingly ordinary Pacific Northwest fishing town seems like the only remarkable element. But he is not the only strange surprise: changelings, selkies, cursed ships– the bizarre has a home in Stoneshore, yet no one gives it a second thought. But Fadumo doesn’t just want to cover these odd occurrences. She wants to dig deeper. And what she discovers is a land so steeped in mysterious history, it will change all who dare to explore it.

The Stoneshore Register 128-page (6.625” x 9”) trade paperback will be available at bookstores on July 22, 2025, and comic shops on July 23, 2025 for $24.99. Pre-order now from TFAW, Amazon, Barnes and Noble or your local bookstore or comic shop.

Posted on by

Mad Cave Studios has announced that Marvel Studios writers Steven Paul Judd and Ken Kristensen along with feature writer Tvli Jacob are set to adapt tales from the legendary tabloid newspaper Weekly World News.

The comic book series is currently in production with Eisner-nominated comic book artist M.K. Perker and a TV series based on the comic is in early stages of development. 

A cultural phenomenon, Weekly World News is notorious for its outrageous headlines.

Where X-Files meets It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the series follows the dysfunctional lives of a young Weekly World News journalist and a seasoned photojournalist as they investigate stories inspired by actual articles published in the paper over the decades. As funny as it is thrilling, the characters’ search for the truth leads them to uncover bizarre mutants, unexplained phenomena, epic world secrets, and supernatural realities. The drama of their weird and wild encounters are only rivaled by the eccentric personal relationships at the office and their volatile family dynamics at home.

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!

Air returns in new editions

Posted on by

From Dark Horse and Berger Books, under the direction of legendary editor Karen Berger, the brilliant Vertigo series Air returns in new editions. Air is created by visionary G. Willow Wilson, acclaimed artist M.K. Perker, and letterer Jared K. Fletcher. Each new paperback volume in the series features brand new cover art by Perker. Air Volume 1, Volume 2 (February 2023) and Volume 3 (June 2023) continue Blythe’s epic journey through a reality unlike any she’s ever known while trying to master her mysterious new powers. In October 2023, Air Volume 4 will showcase the gripping conclusion to this breathtaking science-fiction fantasy series.

The adventure continues next in Air Volume 2, where acrophobic flight attendant Blythe has left her safe, sterile life for a world of strange danger. And she’s been taken under the wing of none other than Amelia Earhart herself–alive and soaring after all these years. How did Amelia survive her disappearance? What is the centuries-old secret that enables her to travel the known and unknown world, using nothing but dreams for fuel? And what is her real agenda?

Then, in Air Volume 3, with the help of Earhart, Blythe has begun to harness her perplexing power; one step closer to controlling time and space. But when the fragmented trail of her mysterious love leads her to dangerous territory of double agents, metalhead jihadists, and an alarming backstory, Blythe will need to control more than just reality: she’ll need to manage her own suspicions–and her addiction.

Concluding the series in Air Volume 4, Blythe’s metaphysical training is over, and one final test stands between her and her future as the greatest hyperprax pilot to ever live. Caught between opposing organizations–the dazzling explorers who support and need her, and the cutthroat conspiracists who have targeted her–Blythe must find her own path in her most perilous journey yet: to pass her test, find her future, and make sense of a senseless universe–for Good. This journey will take her deep into the past and far into a future she was never meant to see, but may be able to re-shape.

The Rez Detectives Are on the Case! A New Graphic Novel from Steven Paul Judd, Tvli Jacob, and M.K. Perker and Literati Press

Posted on by

The Rez Detectives is a ground-breaking, middle-grade graphic novel from Steven Paul Judd, Tvli Jacob, and M.K. Perker, published by Literati Press Comics & Novels and available through Diamond Comic Distributors, GlobalComix, and Comixology on December 8, 2021. In the tradition of Harriet the Spy, Encyclopedia Brown, and yes, Scooby-Doo, comes the first case for the Rez Detectives: “Justice Served Cold.”

Judd and IllumiNative, a native-led nonprofit that works to increase the visibility of Native peoples in American society, will supply free copies of Rez Detectives to all public and reservation libraries in Alaska and North and South Dakota.

It’s a hot summer on the Reservation. When the Ice Cream Man is a no-show, Tasembo joins forces with his neighbor, Nuseka, and his dog, Billy Jack, to take on their first case. With twists around every corner, this case won’t crack itself, but when you combine Nuseka’s brains, Billy Jack’s loyalty, and Tasembo’s . . . persistence, justice will be served. Cold, that is.
