THIS WEEK'S NEW
#1's & ONE SHOTS!
Godzilla #1
In 1954, experimentation with a mysterious energy source known as Kai-Sei awakened Godzilla and a host of immortal kaiju. In the years that followed, humanity has been pummeled by near-constant monster attacks. While Japan has begun to treat the kaiju like natural disasters, understanding that their attempts to fight Godzilla only make the threat worse, the American G-Force is going to fight, fight, fight.
The Voice Said Kill #1
Fargo meets Deliverance in a sweaty swamp-thriller from Vanesa Del Rey and Si Spurrier. The wet heat of the Louisiana bayou. Alligator poachers prowl the mudbug mire. A park ranger, heavily pregnant, raises a hateful mug of moonshine with a criminal matriarch. And one deadly sonuvabitch, out of his mind on shrooms and retribution, loads his rifle for the Human Hunt and screams down the stars.
Thundercats / Powerpuff Girls #1
In the greatest crossover since peanut butter met jelly, The Powerpuff Girls travel from Townsville to Third Earth and discover the world of the ThunderCats!
After being trapped in a runaway rocket by Mojo Jojo, the titanic trio find themselves on a strange planet where their super-powers don’t work. Luckily, someone named Snarf is there to provide a situation report — and wouldn’t you know it, there’s evil that needs defeating! But without their Chemical X-enhanced abilities, what can Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup do against a foe like Mumm-Ra?
Texacarnum #1
America is a melting pot for the supernatural. Ghosts and gods, angels and demons, horror stories and tall-tales, they've traveled from across the globe to collide in the rural Heartland... and cowboy arcanist Avery Belle has spent a very long lifetime amongst them. Horror noir meets Elmore Leonard in the mystic Mid-West.
The Flash: Bad Moon Rising Special #1
Bad Moon Rising rages on as the focus turns to the Rogues’ role as Eclipso’s generals and to a surprising new ally!
