Meet MIKE DENTON: a dirtbag hitman, junkie, and absentee father who’s spent his life chasing the easy fix—drugs, cheap sex, and murder for money—while failing the one person who still believes he can be better: his daughter.

Reservoir Dogs collides with Evil Dead in a filthy crime story that mutates into a savage splatter-horror nightmare from New York Times bestselling author RICK REMENDER (ESCAPE, Captain America) and acclaimed artist STEVE EPTING (VELVET, Captain America) about an unredeemable killer forced to do the one thing he’s avoided his entire life: stand for something other than himself.

Leila, a 19-year-old Pakistani-Canadian girl, stands on the cusp of adulthood, eager to experience the “real world” for the first time. With a head full of Hollywood dreams and a penchant for pulp novels, she ventures to California to connect with her estranged uncle—her “Chachu”—a middle-aged, semi-retired private eye who gained brief fame after marrying the starlet he was initially hired to find. But when Chachu’s wife goes missing once again, the two are forced on an impromptu road trip to track her down—with Leila navigating young adulthood and Chachu confronting his own mortality and regrets.
Inspired by her own coming-of-age experiences in the entertainment industry, CHACHU is the solo writing debut of superstar IMAN VELLANI (Ms. Marvel), a reinterpretation of the classic neo-noir private investigator story brilliantly illustrated by MARIANNA IGNAZZI (EXQUISITE CORPSES) and colored by JORDIE BELLAIRE (Absolute Wonder Woman).

“FREE PLANET, a kind of space-politics-opera, brings shades of the cosmic imagination of Jack Vance, Jack Kirby, and Samuel Delany and Howard Chaykin’s great lost Empire.” —Jonathan Lethem (The Fortress of Solitude, Motherless Brooklyn)
The critically acclaimed space opera returns, with more sci-fi military action, intense interpersonal drama and complex geopolitical maneuvering than ever before.
The first completely free planet in human history has successfully carved out a space between rival galactic superpowers: a corporate-dominated oligarchy and a bellicose, authoritarian empire. But as the revolutionary heroes of the Freedom Guard attempt to defend the planet from threats external, they must also contend with food riots, domestic terrorism, rebellious indigenous populations, separatist movements, skirmishes over resources and a neighboring planet’s desperate pleas for help, all as the team’s tenuous bonds threaten to splinter over a single, deceptively simple question: “What does true freedom actually entail?”
Designed to function as both literature and art object, AUBREY SITTERSON (The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling, No One Left to Fight) and JED DOUGHERTY (Savage Hearts, Worlds’ Finest) have harnessed extensive real-world research and design work to craft a rumination on freedom, the sacrifices it demands, the discipline it requires and the authority that must arise in its absence.

“After all, weren’t we…just friends?”
Romance is never easy. Missed signals, passive aggression, and ego all threaten to get in the way of any budding relationship, and it’s no different for Ally and Lisa. Best friends. Roommates. BDSM practitioners.
Still, Ally and Lisa’s romance is built on more fantasies than one—including the infamous lie of “friends with benefits.” When a figure from Lisa’s erotic tales finds real-life representation in new friend Anne, are a few missed signals more stress than this fantasy romance can stand?
