Vampirella Holidays in Barcelona This Winter!

Posted on by Leave a comment

The Daughter of Drakulon, like every other hard-working professional, is sometimes due a break. When Vampirella tries to enjoy a winter holiday, of course she can’t catch a break! The Vampirella Helliday Special for 2026 brings the raven-haired heroine to beautiful Barcelona.

Writer Erik Burnham adds to his growing bibliography featuring the most celebrated vampiress in comic books, following his hit series Vampirella/Dejah Thoris and an even more unexpected yet epic crossover with Pathfinder/Vampirella: Blade of Darkness publishing in parallel to this new special.

An unexpected fan-favorite is along for the ride, as the first-ever artist of Vampirella from the Dynamite era is back! Wagner Reis illustrated the opening six-issue story of Vampi’s 2010 flagship series, known as the “Crown of Thorns” arc. This Helliday Special marks his heralded return to the character after over 15 years.

Vampirella’s life is filled with chaos agents, aliens, vampires, alien vampires, interpersonal drama, interdimensional travel, and a thirst for both knowledge and blood. With that much on her plate, she has to relish some rest and relaxation every once and a while. A trip to Spain and the historic city of Barcelona is on the itinerary this time. But she can never truly escape the job!

Just because she tries to take a day off, doesn’t mean the chaos doesn’t follow her on the way out the door. There are bloodthirsty beings across the world, under every nook and cranny. Barcelona is no different, as their nemesis will soon learn quite urgently. The only way she’s going to get any peace is sending these foes straight to hell!

The powerhouse team of Burnham and Reis are complemented by chillingly gorgeous covers by Cat Staggs, Meghan Hetrick, and cosplayer Lorraine. This issue also features a premium mystery blind bag containing three limited editions of the issue randomly selected from a range of exclusive variants.

Fans can sink their teeth into this issue December 9.

  • Cover of Vampirella: Helliday Special comic featuring a woman in a red and white outfit with a green cape, standing in the snow beside two white lions with bell collars.
  • Cover of Vampirella Helliday Special comic featuring a dark-haired, pale-skinned woman in a red dress surrounded by a snowy landscape with red berries.
  • A female character in a red costume holds a skull and a rose, posed in a dramatic setting with gothic decor, featured on the cover of 'Vampirella Helliday Special'.
  • A fierce female character in a revealing costume stands in a dark alley, shouting or reaching out, while a sinister figure with white hair bends over a fallen man. In the background, a shadowy wolf lurks near a streetlamp, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
  • A comic book panel showing a vampire woman with bat wings emerging from a car, causing alarm to the driver inside; two paramedics stand nearby.
  • A dramatic comic panel showing two women, one in a green dress and the other in a nun's habit, having an intense conversation in a corridor. The expressions convey tension and emotion.
  • A comic panel featuring a nun and a woman in a revealing outfit. The nun expresses concern while sitting in a chair, holding hands with the other woman, who has a seductive demeanor. The background shows a simple room with a bed and bedside table.

The Devil Made Them Rich. Now He Wants What’s Owed. Filthy Lambs arrives in October 2026

Posted on by Leave a comment

Every family has its secrets. The Grimaldis just happen to keep theirs… in the basement.

Mad Cave Studios has announced one of comics’ most unsettling new horror series—Filthy Lambs—a descent into generational curses, infernal bargains, and the terrifying cost of inherited privilege. 

Written and lettered by Pallie Paul Allor, with artwork and Cover A by Chris Evenhuis, colors by Sjan Weijers, Cover B by Meghan Hetrick, and Covers C and D by Caitlin Yarsky, Filthy Lambs is a chilling new horror series where generational wealth comes at a blood-soaked price, filled with family drama, supernatural horror, and pitch-black humor into a nightmare decades in the making.

In the basement of Grimaldi Manor, the family patriarch says a prayer and stabs himself in the throat. Blood falls. The demon watches. A woman tries to scream.

Upstairs, three generations of the Grimaldi family and a snapping turtle fill the house with unfulfilled promise and joyful childhood shrieks.

These are tremendous, terrible times for the lineage! The Grimaldis hold a contract with Their Lord Below for ten more years of prodigious wealth and glory.

But old contracts can sour. Monsters can misbehave. And a filthy little lamb can still have teeth.

Equal parts occult family saga and supernatural nightmare, Filthy Lambs is perfect for fans of Hereditary. Twisting domestic dysfunction into demonic horror, the series explores the terrifying consequences of inheritance, greed, and the bargains families make to preserve their legacy.

Filthy Lambs #1 goes on sale October 21, 2026, with Final Order Cut-off on September 28.

Two of a Kind! Gambit Trades Hands with his Age of Apocalypse Counterpart in Gambit: Gone!

Posted on by

When X-Men of Apocalypse: Omega #1 hit stands earlier this month, readers were startled to learn that one of the Age of Apocalypse X-Men’s trip to the main Marvel Universe had only just begun! Jeph Loeb and Simone Di Meo’s epic anniversary series ended with the Gambit of Age of Apocalypse swapping places with his 616 counterpart. Now, the story continues in the previously announced Gambit: Gone limited series by Steve Orlando, Edoardo Audino, and Gerado Sandoval, hitting stands next month. The saga follows the dual journeys of the two Gambits with Audino handling the Age of Apocalypse Gambit’s quest in the 616, while Sandoval catches up with our Gambit in the dystopian Age of Apocalypse.

Two worlds. Two Gambits. Two quests. One for redemption…and one for personal gain. In two intertwined tales, Remy LeBeau will face his demons… and the demons of all mutantkind… in an adventure that pushes the limits of the reformed Gambit to their breaking point. What kind of hero will emerge? And face-to-face with different versions of the woman they love—what kind of husband will he prove to be?

Check out all four covers from Simone Di Meo, ACO, Russell Dauterman, and Meghan Hetrick along with a never-before-seen first look and preorder Gambit: Gone #1 at your local comic shop today! The first issue comes to shops September 23.

Gargoyles Comics Next Epic Starts This Summer!

Posted on by

Dynamite Entertainment has announced a brand new era of stories from the beloved Gargoyles franchise, continuing the acclaimed chronology of franchise creator Greg Weisman, and serving up a perfect jumping-on point this August!

One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness. It was a world of fear. It was the age of GARGOYLES! Stone by day, warriors by night, they were betrayed by the humans they had sworn to protect…frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken, and they live again! They are defenders of the night! They are Gargoyles!

Whether readers picking up the new Gargoyles #1 have watched the whole animated series front to back several times, devoured the back in print classic years of comics, and have had every issue of the Dynamite era on their pull list from day one, or if they’re just looking for a fun comic series full of deep characters, awesome action, and rewarding plotlines, this is the perfect book!

As each season of the original show progressed in relative real time, then despite being released way later, each comics phase picks up from that point and continues on, the Gargoyles saga has reached the pivotal era of 1997. Fans are invited to flash back in time to the electrifying fun of the 1990s and the brilliant energy that cartoons of that era brought to the table, with Gargoyles first and foremost in its class.

The titular Gargoyles only have eggs every 20 years, and the Manhattan Clan at the center of the saga have been keeping care of one playfully nicknamed “Egwardo.” The only problem is — it’s been stolen by arch-enemy Demona! As the Defenders of the Night try desperately to track down the egg, they’re also faced with an awakened ancient, all-powerful evil with a vendetta against the entire world. All that and more can be expected each and every month in this new blockbuster series.

Following an all-star team of incredible illustrators like George Kambadais, Drew Moss, Ciro Cangialosi, Pasquale Qualano, and even peers from the era of the show Frank Paur and Tad Stones, this new series brings the gregarious Gerardo Gambone to the forefront as Weisman’s latest collaborator. The two are joined by colorist Robby Bevard and letterer Jeff Eckleberry as well.

To match the thrilling tales from Weisman and Gambone inside the book, longtime Gargoyles comics editor Nate Cosby has assembled a squad of superstar artists for jaw-dropping covers featuring everyone’s favorite characters. Meghan Hetrick and Sebastian Piriz are joined by aforementioned returning franchise artists Drew Moss and Frank Paur.
