Vampirella in Paradise… Or Not? Tom Sniegoski’s Next Saga Starts November!

The Daughter of Drakulon has faced death and rebirth, and lived to tell the tale. Now this November, Tom Sniegoski‘s three decades and running chronicles of Vampirella continue in Paradise.

Fan-favorite writer Sniegoski and artist Edu Menna reunite for the next chapter in this continuity which has put the raven-haired anti-heroine through the ringer in recent years. At the finale of the preceding series Vampirella Armageddon, Almighty God bestowed upon Vampi a wondrous gift — yet the dreamlike paradise she finds herself in is not what it seems.

Classic foes from her rogues gallery return, as the Mad God of Chaos and the Blood Red Queen of Hearts haunt and corrupt this new world. It’s up to Vampirella to unfold the darkness as she is called to battle once more!

Sniegoski is approaching this latest chapter through a unique lens, following Armageddon which served as a final, apocalyptic battle between light and darkness. That chapter brought some things full circle, tying up certain key themes and threads that have run through his Vampirella works going back to the early 1990s. Now Paradise answers a crucial question — what if Vampirella finally caught a break? But of course, it’s not quite that easy… so where will the most prolific creator in Vampirella’s history take her next?

In addition to the gorgeous artwork of Edu Menna, this new series has the ultimate crimson cherry on top with a range of jaw-dropping covers. Superstar Francesco Mattina returns to the character and leads the theme of fabulous frames around these masterpieces. Vampi mainstay Joseph Michael Linsner joins the party. While this book marks the Dynamite Debut of artist Josephine Tomarchio, with an instant classic. Cosplayer Lauren Delorean is featured on a cover. Collectors can seek out the mystery blind bag for even rarer versions of these covers and other surprises!

Nothing Can Stop… The Ape!

(W) Tom Sniegoski (A) Jeannine Acheson

Maxwell Morgan is only twelve—but the fate of the world is already on his shoulders.

When his mother is possessed by Thuuna, an ancient primordial goddess with genocidal ambitions, Maxwell will do anything to save her. Even if that means making the worst decision imaginable: freeing Thuuna’s immortal enemy, the long-imprisoned Ghraagg’endah—Gorilla God of Chaos.

Joined by his loyal French bulldog and four elemental-powered cave people, Maxwell must convince the volatile ape god to help stop Thuuna before she destroys the world—and claim his mom back from a deity that never forgives and never forgets.

A rollicking, all-ages adventure inspired by the bold spirit of late-’60s Hanna-Barbera cartoons, Nothing Can Stop… The Ape! is packed with cosmic gods, big laughs, high-stakes heroics, and Saturday-morning swagger. So pour a bowl of cereal, buckle up, and hang on tight—because once the ape is loose… nothing can stop him.

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

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.
