Some people just can’t cut it as models.

With three models dead by increasingly gory means, Purple and his brutal surFACE Modeling Agency are in crisis management mode. To try to prevent another incident, the agency sends the two remaining models on an all-expenses-paid trip, where the combative Ivy shares her theories on the cause of their misery with a bizarrely passive peer.

Yet despite how hard the people in Ivy’s life try to maintain the veneer of normalcy, the grinning cracks begin to form. Amid the reality-shattering hallucinations, very powerful people try to manipulate the models for their own purposes.

Discover how the models navigate this terrifying web in Smile: For the Camera #4, the penultimate issue brought to you by horror star Hannah Rose May (The Exorcism at 1600 Penn, Rogues’ Gallery).

The party ended with a slash.

A series of tragedies have spread throughout the fashion world, but those in power have been quick to cover them up, leaving Lena and her fellow models to do whatever they can to survive. While Lena tries to run from the disaster, Ivy finds that it’s not so easy. The powerful figures in her industry are hell-bent on profiting off the models — trapping Ivy in this dazzling world that’s set on turning her into another statistic. Is there anyone she can trust? Or will Ivy be trapped in this gilded cage with the Entity on a killing spree?

The modeling industry is full of monsters, not all of them supernatural.

Continue the horrifying journey into glamorous madness with Smile: For the Camera #3, brought to you by horror star Hannah Rose May (The Exorcism at 1600 Penn, Rogues’ Gallery), as the Entity reveals the darkness hiding under the blinding lights.

The runway calls… but so does something darker.

After the shocking tragedy that rocked SurFace Agency, Freja and her fellow models are whisked off to London Fashion Week, where the pressure to perform is as deadly as the secrets they’re keeping. As Freja’s nightmares begin bleeding into reality, Ivy lands her first big shoot with notorious photographer Perry Rickens—and discovers why his sets are feared as much as they’re coveted.

Under the blinding lights of fame, every smile hides something monstrous.

The horror behind the glamour deepens in Smile: For the Camera #2 in this terrifying new chapter by Hannah Rose May (Exorcism at 1600 Penn, Rogues’ Gallery) as the Entity continues its gory crusade.

A New Disney Stitch Anthology Series Debuts Ahead of 626 Day!

Celebrate 626 Day with an anthology series stuffed with fun, diverse stories starring the titular blue-furred bundle of mischief!

What is 626 Day? Stitch – the blue alien buddy who co-stars in Disney’s Lilo & Stitch – was originally designated as Experiment 626. While Dr. Jumba Jookiba created more unique experiments, 626 is the most famous. 626 Day offers Disney fans the opportunity to playfully celebrate the beloved character that has captivated global audiences while commemorating his intergalactic namesake.

Lilo & Stitch: 626 is a three-issue series that will bookend 626 Day with releases in May, June, and July. The fabulous first issue features two stories showcasing the joy of the character and his colorful cast. Jet-setting Jeff Eckleberry handles lettering throughout the book.

Critically acclaimed wordsmith Daniel Kibblesmith, following from his fan-favorite run with Darkwing Duck, takes on the little mischief alongside artist Elisa Pochetta. The pair unveil for the first time to fans the secret origin of Agent Cobra Bubbles — or at least Lilo’s interpretation of it!

Then, another Disney X Dynamite legend in the making takes on the second story, as George Kambadais writes and draws a tale of Captain Gantu stranded on an Old West-styled planet all by himself, surrounded by dangerous criminals from his past!

Subsequent issues will turn the spotlight to other beloved members of the cast like Nani, Jumba, Pleakley, David, Mertle, and more. An equally expansive roster of talented writers and artists will be featured in the next two releases, including Moana McAdams, Chuck Brown, Jeff Parker, Edwin GalmonMiriana Puglia, Emiliana Pinna, and Giulia Giacomino.

Sugar, spice, and everything nice — these are the ingredients to make the perfect little girl!

The first batch of their latest adventures chronicled in comic books are being compiled into a slick new edition for fans.

It’s another day in Townsville, and that means there’s another miscellaneous villain for the Powerpuff Girls to defeat. So forgettable is this new antagonist that the girls just give him a number rather than learning his name. But “Miscellaneous Villain 432” does have a name (it’s Big Bang, thanks for asking), and he’s determined to make sure that Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup will always remember it — by KO-ing all three of them in a rematch!

Will Big Bang triumph over the Titanic Trio in their do-over dustup? History suggests not, but there’s a first time for everything — and what better place to witness it than in The Powerpuff Girls #3’s “Origin Story,” a true no-holds-barred tale from Eisner Award-winning writer KELLY THOMPSON and celebrated artist MIRIANA PUGLIA, with two-fisted covers from LEONARDO ROMERO, PAULINA GANUCHEAU, KAREN S. DARBOE, NICOLETTA BALDARI, and KEN HAESER!
