Gastronomique #1
You’ll want to take a bite out of New York Times best-selling writer Marguerite Bennett’s all-new erotic body horror and historical thriller, with sensual and stomach-turning art from Eisner-nominated illustrator Helena Masellis! Tarrare the cannibal may be compelled to eat, but Lady Charlotte (codename: The Python) is a cold-blooded spy compelled to hunt. A visceral game of cat-and-mouse begins as Lady Charlotte hunts down the elusive cannibal stalking the streets of France during the revolution, and she’ll stop at nothing to pursue her prey! Lady Charlotte’s quest for revenge is aided by her former lover Zélie, and together they explore the seedy underbelly of Paris and each other in a hypnotic fever dream. Prepare to swoon over industry veteran and GLAAD-nominated writer Marguerite Bennett's (ODIN, Bombshells, Batwoman) blood-lusty tale bursting at the seams with vengeance, unbridled sexuality, and most importantly, horror! After all, there’s nothing scarier than a woman’s voracious appetite.

Warbird #1
Blockbuster screenwriter Derek Kolstad, creator and writer of the internationally acclaimed, box office dominating motion picture franchise John Wick, New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (SUPERMAN ‘78), and master illustrator Alex Maleev, the Eisner Award-winning artist behind seminal runs on Daredevil, Moon Knight and more, have combined powers to bring you a white-knuckle, globe-spanning action/spy thrill ride. Cole is a repo man of the highest calibre, repossessing heavily guarded mega yachts from billionaires, private planes from captains of industry, and everything in-between. If it’s got an engine, he can drive it, ride it, or fly it straight out from under the nose of an army of guards. Now he’s handed the job of a lifetime. The impossible job. One that will bring him face to face with the highest stakes. The Russians have stolen aeronautical military secrets from China, France, Germany, The UK, and the US to “Frankenstein” together the ultimate bleeding edge, next-gen fighter jet: The Warbird. There are only three of them in existence. They are a force of absolute nature—$1.4 billion apiece—dominating every global hot-spot from Syria to Ukraine. And Cole’s been hired to steal one… and destroy the other two. His fee? 10%. A cool $140 million. But this isn’t a repossession job. This is outright theft. And failure doesn’t mean jail time and fines—it means a bullet to the back of the head.
