DSTLRY reveals new incentive covers for White Boat, Gone, and Somna

Posted on by

DSTLRY has revealed eleven covers for three upcoming issues all releasing in Spring 2024.

New series debut White Boat #1 by longtime collaborators Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla leads the charge on March 27th with open order and incentive variants that preview the Lovecraftian horrors within:

  • Cover A – Francesco Francavilla – Open Order
  • Cover B – Kelley Jones (Batman, The Sandman) – Open Order Variant
  • Cover C – Rafael Albuquerque (American Vampire, Blue Beetle) – 1:10 Incentive Variant
  • Cover D – Keyla Valerio (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Stranger Things) – 1:25 Incentive Variant
  • Cover E – Junko Mizuno (Pure Trance, Ravina the Witch?) – 1:50 Incentive Variant

From the acclaimed team behind Detective Comics and Night of the Ghoul comes a modern horror classic! White Boats are the mega-yachts that the super-rich use to traverse the globe—floating islands where your every desire can be fulfilled. And getting invited on board one should be a dream come true…that is until the crew traps and transports you to a remote island where secret cults have existed for millennia, working on something called “The Human Project.” Does the White Boat ship you to paradise or sink you into hell on earth? WHITE BOAT reunites Scott Snyder, the visionary writer who redefined comic book dread with Wytches and introduced Batman into a terrifying, cerebral era, with modern noir master Francesco Francavilla for a white-knuckle descent into Lovecraftian maritime madness!

Somna #3 also releases on March 27th from writer/artist duo Tula Lotay and Becky Cloonan, bringing the haunting erotic thriller to its gripping climax:

  • Cover A – Becky Cloonan – Open Order
  • Cover B – Tula Lotay – Open Order
  • Cover C – Emma Ríos (Pretty Deadly, Amazing Spider-Man) – 1:10 Incentive Variant
  • Cover D – Anwita Citriya (Yuuko’s Gloomy Days) – 1:25 Incentive Variant
  • Cover E – Pernille Ørum (DC Superhero Girls, Hit-Girl) – 1:50 Incentive Variant

The mystery of who killed Harald is finally solved, but is it too late for Ingrid to escape the harrowing clutches of the ethereal and deadly “Shadow Man”? More importantly, does she even WANT to escape, or has her new-found sexual awakening made it impossible to ever return?!

From the masterful minds of Becky Cloonan and Tula Lotay comes an intoxicating blend of history, eroticism, and the supernatural in SOMNA—an evocative masterpiece that draws inspiration from folk-horror staples like Midsommar and The Witch, and will transport readers to a world where passion and spirits intertwine, captivating your senses and leaving you craving more.

Finally, Gone #3 rockets onto shelves this April, concluding the first arc of writer/artist Jock’s journey across the cosmos:

  • Cover A – Jock – Open Order
  • Cover B – Jock – Open Order Variant
  • Cover C – Sam Wolfe Connelly – 1:10 Incentive Variant
  • Cover D – Rossi Gifford (Invincible Presents: Atom Eve, Riot Games) – 1:25 Incentive Variant
  • Cover E – Joëlle Jones (Lady Killer, Catwoman) – 1:50 Incentive Variant

Abi has been from one end of the galaxy to the other and just about the only place she hasn’t reached is the one place she’s most afraid to go…HOME. But fate, and her own steely will, have combined to send her there, and now she must confront a past secret that’s darker than the deepest depths of outer space. Beautifully written and drawn by JOCK, GONE comes to its heart-rending conclusion!

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by
Wolverine #42

Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #4 (DC Comics) – The series continues to be a great blend of fact and fiction all mixed into some solid entertainment.

Charred Remains #2 (Mad Cave Studios) – The first issue was interesting having to do with a mysterious being and fires.

Conan the Barbarian #7 (Titan Comics) – The series has been fantastic so far evoking classic Conan with some beautiful art.

Dark Ride #10 (Skybound) – Absolutely great, and entertaining, horror, with some solid art. We get excited for each new issue.

Dead X-Men #1 (Marvel) – We’re intrigued about this one that has to do with some “dead” X-Men. With Krakoa in shambles, we’re pondering how it all comes together.

The Devil That Wears My Face #4 (Mad Cave Studios) – The concept of the Exorcist meets Face/Off might seem silly but this comic rocks. Fantastic action and horror mixed together.

Duke #2 (Skybound) – The first issue gave a shot in the arm to G.I. Joe and added more energy to the Energon Universe.

Jill and the Killers #1 (Oni Press) – Oni is launching a bunch of new series in 2024 and this one sounds like a cool mix of murder mystery and games.

Lilo & Stitch #1 (Dynamite Entertainment) – The beloved animated film comes to comics! Dynamite has been knocking it out of the park with their Disney releases.

Local Man #9 (Image Comics) – The series has been fantastic delivering a vibe that’s a mix of modern and classic Image superhero comics.

Moon Man #1 (Image Comics) – Kyle Higgins, Marco Locati, and Kid Cudi team up for this series about “missing minutes” during a moon mission.

Somna #2 (DSTLRY) – Becky Cloonan and Tula Lotay’s first issue featured some amazing art and we’re expecting more of that in a series set amidst the terrifying backdrop of the witch hunts in a quiet 1600s English village.

Wolverine #42 (Marvel) – The first issue was brutal and we expect nothing less from this.

DSTLRY announces a Kodansha Partnership and New Cover Art from Mangaka Shūzō Oshimi

Posted on by

DSTLRY has announced a new partnership with Kodansha that will see acclaimed horror-manga icon Shūzō Oshimi contribute an open order variant cover for Somna #3, the final issue of Becky Cloonan and Tula Lotay’s erotic folk-horror series, arriving March 27.

This new partnership, headlined by Oshimi’s evocative Somna cover, will see the two publishers regularly exchange cover artists for upcoming releases, as superstars from both western comics and manga bring their extraordinary talents to new worlds, styles, and audiences. 

Set amidst the terrifying backdrop of the witch hunts in a quiet 1600s English village, Somna follows one woman’s escape from the confines of her puritanical world. Ingrid is unhappily married to Roland, the town’s bailiff and chief witch hunter, who has embarked on a single-minded quest to purge the ‘heretics’ in their midst. After a prominent town leader is found murdered, accusations fly and no one is above reproach from Roland’s deadly crusade. Ingrid has her suspicions about who the real murderer is, but even as she searches for the truth, she’s pursued by a shadowy figure. Ingrid gravitates to the foreboding phantom in ways she can’t resist; does this otherworldly seduction hold the key to the mystery? Or will he damn Ingrid’s soul to the blackest circle of Hell?

Somna #2 will be on sale at local comic shops and digitally via www.dstlry.co on January 31. Somna #3, with covers by Oshimi, Cloonan, Lotay, and more, is available now for pre-order and will be on sale on March 27. Retailers can place print orders now through Lunar Distribution (FOC: February 10) and Diamond Comic Distributors (FOC: February 11).

Gone is in an action-packed sci-fi adventure where a young heroine has grown into a war-weary spacefarer who still dreams of one elusive goal…. getting home.

Gone #2, by Jock, features covers by Jock, Lee Garbett, Oliver Barrett, Matt Taylor, and Jamie McKelvie.

In Somna #2, set amidst the terrifying backdrop of the witch hunts in a quiet 1600s English village, Somna follows one woman’s erotic escape from the confines of her puritanical world. No one is above suspicion when the relentless Witch Hunter Roland draws his net around someone close to him as this darkly sexual thriller races towards its gripping conclusion!

Somna #2 is by Becky Cloonan and Tula Lotay and featuring covers by Lotay and Cloonan, Emily Carroll, Julian Totino Tedesco, Dani, and Christian Ward.
