After a whirlwind tour of the globe courtesy of the Cluster Sovereign and their annoyingly persistent pursuit robots, Stitch is finally back home in Hawai’i. Naturally, that’s when another spaceship lands in his backyard — but it this time it’s Lilo that the aliens want a word with!

But even with help from Stitch, Nani, and Dr. Jumba, will Lilo — or the Earth itself — be able to deal with the most destructive creatures in the galaxy?

Red Sonja: Empire of the Damned

writer: Steve Niles
artist: Alessandro Amoruso
cover: Joshua Middleton
FC | 128 pages | Sword & Sorcery | $19.99 | Teen+

After landing in jail following a night of drunken revelry, Red Sonja hears an outlandish story from a fellow inmate. Deep in the mountains lies a dead city in a valley with no name. Abandoned and forgotten, its fields and streets are littered with the bones of two armies, all destroyed by a curse from a warlock who has long since vanished, along with his vast treasure — untold riches just waiting to be taken.

At least that is the legend. But Sonja’s cellmate Morgo has more than a diverting tale — he’s also got a map that says this legend could well be reality. All they need to do is break out of lockup and hit the road — which may be easier said than done!

Written by horror legend STEVE NILES (30 Days of Night) with stunning art by ALESSANDRO AMORUSO, Red Sonja: Empire of the Damned collects all five issues of the acclaimed miniseries, together with a complete cover gallery!

Under York

(W) Sylvain Runberg (A) Mirka Andolfo

New York’s destiny is written in its depths…

Alison Walker is a promising young painter in Manhattan. But she has a secret. She’s also a witch. She and her family belong to the world of Under York, a mysterious, underground New York where five powerful clans of witches have reigned for centuries. These families with their strict codes of life, drawn from the country’s main communities (African, Irish, Chinese, Mexican, and Amerindian) practice magic as powerful as it is dangerous. For generations, they have been hunted and persecuted. Today, they secretly influence life on the surface and its inhabitants. Their revenge is to participate in the destiny of a world that banished them. This is the universe in which Alison Walker grew up. The universe she fled and doesn’t want to hear about anymore. Until fate catches up with her…

Acclaimed French writer SYLVAIN RUNBERG (Watchdogs, Warship: Jolly Roger) and superstar Harvey Award winner MIRKA ANDOLFO deliver a fascinating tale where urban fantasy takes root in the bowels of the world’s most famous city. Two universes- that of contemporary New York and its dynamism and modernity and that of the secret, underground magical clans of Under York- collide in the destiny of a young witch on the run.

The Beauty Book One is an even more fascinating read in a post-COVID world

Posted on by Leave a comment

In a culture increasingly obsessed with physical beauty, what if you could be guaranteed a shortcut to becoming beautiful? A sexually transmitted disease has started transforming people who catch it, changing their facial features and body types to something more in line with society’s perceived ideal. The only catch? You will have a slight, persistent fever. But who cares how you feel when you look so good?

Those who pursued this alleged perfection are in for a rude awakening. After an indeterminate amount of time with the disease, it has deadly consequences as that fever finally burns you from the inside out. For Detectives Vaughn and Foster, investigating the first mysterious deaths of Beauty victims leads them into a dark world they never expected, full of corrupt politicians, murderous federal agents, and a secret society of crooks and killers.

Relive the first spellbinding story arc of THE BEAUTY, as well as a selection of stories that expand the world. The first of three all-new editions collecting the entire original series, this volume includes the first eleven issues, co-written by series creators Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley, with art by Haun, Mike Huddleston, Brett Weldele, and Stephen Green.

American Caper’s collection arrives June 23, 2026

Posted on by Leave a comment

Dark Horse Comics and Absurd Ventures have announced that the first collected edition volume of creator-writer Dan Houser’s acclaimed new crime fiction comic book series, American Caper, will be released on June 23, 2026. Titled American Caper: Red-Pilled Blues, this trade paperback collects the first four issues of the series and preorders are now live.

Created and written by Rockstar Games co-founder and longtime creative force behind Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption, Dan Houser, the series features a murderer’s row of fellow crime fiction talent including Houser’s longtime writing collaborator, Lazlow, and artwork by Eisner Award–winner David Lapham, Chris Anderson, and Lee Loughridge, with covers by Tyler Boss.

Set in Verona, Wyoming, American Caper follows two neighboring families on the brink of collapse: 

A Mormon hitman. A gambling-addict lawyer. Two neighbors intertwined in a real estate deal gone wrong. Mix in a Mexican beauty queen on the run from her past, a red-pilled housewife, two escaped convicts in love, a Wall Street billionaire who has become a cowboy, and a maniac hell-bent on revenge. The manicured wilderness of Verona, Wyoming is the perfect cocktail of American culture: real estate development, violence and snake oil.

From the tax-avoiders in the Rockies, to the thought police of Brooklyn, to the confused political and environmental battlegrounds of Florida, one thing is certain: This tragedy is someone else’s fault.

To be among the first to secure a pre-order of the inaugural trade paperback collected volume, please visit Bookshop, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or place an order via your local comic book shop or bookstore. Copies will be available in-store starting June 23, 2026.

Bad Idea reveals David and Maria Lapham’s The Ends for March 2026

Posted on by Leave a comment

THE ENDS TPB

Written by DAVID & MARIA LAPHAM
Art by DAVID LAPHAM
Colors by BILL CRABTREE
Cover by LEWIS LAROSA
$19.99 | 144 PGS. | FULL COLOR
FINAL ORDER CUTOFF FEBRUARY 9, 2026 | IN STORES MARCH 11, 2026

This July, Bad Idea launched its first-ever trade paperback, The Hero Trade: Hero for Sale TPB to widespread critical acclaim. There’s only one book that Bad Idea thought could follow it, The Ends!

From the mind of comic book national treasure and living legend, David Lapham, in partnership with the incredible talents of his wife, Maria Lapham, comes a series critics have described as a true modern masterpiece.

Witness their artistic triumph reborn in breathtaking color thanks to the talents of superstar colorist, Bill Crabtree and now jam-packed with extended sequences, new connective material, additional pages, brand-new scenes, patched panels, rewritten dialogue, and more!

It’s 1985 and Jennifer End and Angelo Rodriguez are deeply in love. But Jennifer can never reveal their relationship to their family. The Ends are considered by some to be traditional, but by most, they are known as intolerant, discriminatory, and bigoted.

Her brother, Jack, is the worst of the bunch and a full blown, hardcore skinhead. During the summer, when Jennifer travels to Oceanside, a retirement home for veterans, to be with Angelo under the guise of visiting her grandparents, Jack discovers their relationship.

Jack is crushed by the betrayal. He decides it’s time to take a stand. Jack organizes a rally in the peaceful town of Oceanside. Soon the town is overrun by neo-Nazi youths. The police struggle to maintain control, leaving the only hope with the aging World War 2, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans who reside in the town.

Experience a first-look at this stunning new collection below. Secure your copy by pre-ordering with your local comic shop before Final Order Cutoff on Monday, February 9th! The Ends comes to shops March 11, 2026.
