Just Brutal #2 reveals a lot of the backstory with some great art and lots of laughs

Posted on by

Life is changing fast for the Savage twins. The sudden revelation that their parents are eternal warriors who have spent their immortality protecting the earth from Farklar the Fleshless was jarring enough, but now they’re forced to take a family road trip to stop the evil warlord’s latest scheme! Jordan hates everything about this.

His twin sister Winter, on the other hand, thinks all of this is awesome! Too bad her connection with their monster-fighting father is driving a wedge between her and their mother. And just what is going on with their stepdad Gary Williams?

Romance is hard. Dating during a demonic apocalypse is harder. Find out how hard in Babylon Cove

Posted on by

Returning to your hometown is never easy, but for Heather Hutchens, it’s a nightmare… Babylon Cove is a five-issue horror romantic comedy series from Mad Cave Studios, written by Rafer Roberts with art by Joe Eisma, colors by Marissa Louise, and lettering by Crank!, featuring a variant cover by Eric Powell. 

This is a story about Heather, a no-nonsense career-gal who returns to her picturesque New England hometown for the first time in a decade to attend a family funeral; Dennis, the all-American dreamboat who broke Heather’s heart in high school; Charlie, the late-blooming shy boy who Heather never gave the time of day, and Karthon, the ancient demon with plans to feast on the flesh of everyone in town.

If you ever wondered what would happen if Stephen King were allowed to write one of those Hallmark holiday movies…Welcome to BABYLON COVE.

Blending sharp romantic comedy instincts with straight-up horror, Babylon Cove gleefully dismantles the love triangle, replacing polite small-town tension with monsters, mayhem, and emotional reckoning. 

Babylon Cove is about avoidance, self-sabotage, and the desperate need to be loved—where the real danger isn’t just the demon stalking the town, but the damage we do when we refuse to confront who we were, the harm we caused, and who we might still become.

Babylon Cove #1 (of 5) hits comic shop shelves May 20, 2026, with FOC on April 27.

Just Brutal #1 is a great start with entertaining writing, characters, premise, and fantastic art

Posted on by

Jordan Savage is a normal 16-year-old kid barely holding it together after his parents’ recent divorce. His twin sister Winter is his opposite in every way—including how she is coping with the changes in the Savage family’s lives.

And those changes are bigger than they could even imagine. They are about to find out that the boring, bickering parents they’ve lived with this whole time are secretly ancient death-dealing barbarian warriors. They have been living quietly for 3000 years, having defeated their nemesis—the evil sorcerer warlord Farklar the Fleshless—leaving the world safe for humanity. Only now, Farklar has returned, and his army of hideous Mordorks are about to devour Des Moines. Now the Savages are piled in Mom’s minivan headed for Iowa to wage war against Black Magic Armageddon. Jordan is freaking out, Winter thinks it’s all pretty cool, and no one is sure if Mom and Dad can get along long enough to save civilization from destruction.

A Vigilante on the Loose. A Fractured Partnership. And One St. Paddy’s Case That Cuts Straight to the Heart in the Dick Tracy: St. Patrick’s Day Special

Posted on by

This March, Mad Cave Studios, in partnership with Tribune Content Agency and New Wave Comics, invites readers back into the hard-boiled world of Dick Tracy for a festive one-shot gone green with chaos, criminal mischief, and the sharpest jawline in comics history. Dick Tracy: St. Patrick’s Day Special drops the legendary detective into a holiday caper where luck runs out fast, and the city’s most infamous crooks are feeling extra bold.

Written by the series own Alex Segura and Michael Moreci, featuring a guest spot from Tim Seeley, with art by Craig Cermak and Rebekah Isaacs, colors by Mark Englert and Marissa Louise, and letters by Patrick Brosseau, this standalone one-shot special leans into everything fans love about Dick Tracy: the clipped banter, the iconic rogues, the sucker-punch twists, and the relentless pursuit of justice. Cover A by Geraldo Borges with Mark Englert, Cover B by Jacob Phillips.

DICK TRACY’S LUCK RUNS OUT in this special St. Patrick’s Day-themed one-shot. When a masked vigilante starts taking out some of the City’s wealthiest – and most corrupt – citizens, Tracy and Sam must solve the crime while putting aside their own feelings. Can the new partners crack the mystery while trying to stay alive? From the team that brought you last year’s acclaimed and bestselling DICK TRACY HALLOWEEN SPECIAL! Plus, what’s a lovelorn Acres O’Reilly to do? Can she finally shed her bad luck and get the opportunity for happiness she so deserves?

For fans of classic hardboiled detective stories, evergreen newspaper strip nostalgia, and anyone who loves holiday specials with bite, Dick Tracy: St. Patrick’s Day Special blends the grit of The Untouchables with the celebratory chaos of a city that parties a little too hard. Perfect for long-time Tracy devotees and new readers looking for a sharp, punchy entry point into the franchise.

Dick Tracy: St. Patrick’s Day Special hits shelves March 11, 2026, FOC on February 16.

Three Goon tales are Collected for the First Time in The Goon: Bunch of Old Crap Omnibus Vol. 6

Posted on by

Dark Horse Books presents The Goon: Bunch of Old Crap Omnibus Volume 6, the newest omnibus volume of the award-winning crime pulp series now published under Eric Powell’s Albatross Funnybooks imprint. Volume 6 will collect three Goon tales: A Ragged Return to Lonely Street, written and illustrated by award-winning cartoonist Eric Powell; The Deceit of a Cro-Magnon Dandy, written by Powell and Tom Sniegoski and illustrated by Brett Parson; Fishy Men, Witchy Women & Bitter Beer, written by Roger Langridge, illustrated by Mike Norton, and colored by Marissa Louise; and more.

Nameless Town is a tough place. So tough that the only one thing standing between you and that thing that crawled out of the sewer and ate your old neighbor lady before trying to shake you down for the cash in your pockets is a mob boss known as the Goon and his psychotic counter part that goes by Franky.

After strange journeys abroad, the Goon and Franky return to Nameless Town to find that a horde of unsavory characters has filled the void left in their absence. Our reluctant hero has his work cut out for him as he faces off against the likes of Seti the Southside Mummy, Vinny Nosferatu, and a Cro-Magnon mobster in a pinstriped suit who wants his blood.

The Goon: Bunch of Old Crap Omnibus Volume 6 (paperback, 480 pages, 10.1875” x 6.625”) will be available in bookstores on August 11, 2026 and in comics shops on August 12, 2026. It is now available to preorder at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and your local comics shop and bookstore for $34.99.
