Breakout success Haha by W. Maxwell Prince ( Ice Cream Man ) has sold out at the distributor level and is being rushed back to print this week in order to keep up with growing demand. Haha #2, second printing will feature new cover art by Zoe Thorogood and Good Old Neon. "All of us down at the circus are totally a-giggle at how much people seem to be enjoying these sad comics about sad clowns," said Prince. "And hey—every issue is a new story, featuring a new clown, drawn by a different artist; there’s no better time than now to join us under the drooping big top." Featuring his signature Ice Cream Man style of one-shot storytelling, Haha welcomes readers into the world of clowns—and he’s invited some of the comic industry’s top talent to join him for the ride. Haha is a genre-jumping, throat-lumping look at the sad, scary, hilarious life of those who get paid to play the fool—but these ain’t your typical jokers.  With issues drawn by Vanesa Del Rey ( Redlands )...

 Today Robert Kirkman confirmed the end of his apocalyptic comic book series Oblivion Song in the issue #30 letters page.  “If you’ve been paying attention to the buildup of this story from arc to arc, you might have suspected that we were nearing a natural end point…and we are, issue #36 was always planned to be the final issue,” wrote Kirkman. “When we conceived of this series, I thought of it as a trilogy of 12-issue arcs. Looking back, you can see the time jumps between #12 and #13, as well as #24 and #25, marked definitive chapter breaks along the way. That was by design.”  Oblivion Song takes place in an apocalyptic Philadelphia and follows Nathan Cole as he attempts to rescue the citizens lost in Oblivion. The series is co-created by Robert Kirkman (writer) and Lorenzo De Felici (artist), with Annalisa Leoni as colorist. Issue #31 hits stands this June, and the series will conclude with issue #36. The series is currently in development for a film adaptation at...

 Back in 2008, Matteo Pizzolo (CALEXIT) and artist Anna Wiesczyk envisioned a dark future: after a pandemic and insurrection topple civilization as we know it, a Fascist government known as The Republic rises, and a misfit crew of orphans, sex workers, and pariahs come together to bring it down. Thirteen years after its debut with GODKILLER: WALK AMONG US, this tale of caring for one another as the world falls apart around us is as urgent and relevant as ever.  And it’s back. April 2021’s GODKILLER: TOMORROW’S ASHES picks up after the events of WALK AMONG US, which was originally released as an underground comic in 2008, adapted into an animated film in 2011, and re-released in comics format by Black Mask Studios in 2014.   In fact, GODKILLER was the project that laid the groundwork for Brett Gurewitz and Steve Niles to collaborate with Pizzolo on what would become Black Mask Studios.   As Gurewitz said when Black Mask re-issued GODKILLER: WALK AMONG US,...

From the bestselling writer/artist Declan Shalvey ( Bog Bodies ) and Write It In Blood team Rory McConville and Joe Palmer comes an all-new science fiction story in Time Before Time. This ongoing time travel series will launch from Image Comics this May. Best described as Criminal meets Back to the Future and Looper , this high octane, extra-length debut issue will feature an alternate cover by artist John Paul Leon.  "I loved what this team did on Write It In Blood so I'm really excited to take that crew and work on something more ambitious," said Shalvey in an exclusive scoop on the announcement at IGN . "This is a book with miles of potential, brilliantly realized by Joe Palmer and Chris O'Halloran. Their work to me, looks like the baby of Aeon Flux and Hellboy . I think readers will enjoy the gorgeous pages, but also the core story that follows Tatsuo into a more and more complicated set of troubles. With Time Before Time , Rory and myself get to writ...

Bestselling series Die by Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans will kick off its final story arc—ominously titled “Bleed”—beginning with Die #16 out from Image Comics this May. The highly anticipated conclusion for the series will be revealed in Die #20.  To go into the dark, you have to get to the dark. They never put a dungeon anywhere accessible, do they? Past sins haunt our party, and future sins permeate the landscape. Die’s closing arc begins as we began: with regrets and screaming. Die has consistently held a seat as one of the top-selling Image Comics series with multiple sell-outs at the distributor level and regular reorder activity that’s skyrocketed with each new installment’s release. Perhaps best described as Jumanji with goth sensibilities, the series has stolen headlines since its launch for ushering in a new trend in RPG-themed storytelling.  “The concluding arc is always bittersweet,” said Gillen. “Sad that the adventure is coming to the end, but the wicked gl...

This all-new, quarterly series from Image Comics is set to make waves in May.  A visionary new comic, Aquarius: The Book of Mer is a modern retelling of mermaid myths and legends from all over the world. In 1983 Harlem, something surfaces from the haunted lake of Astara's dreams. She’s plagued by visions of Ancestors, monsters, and Merfolk. What will she sacrifice to finally have peace?  Aquarius: The Book of Mer will also feature an alternate cover by David Mack ( Kabuki ) and be accompanied by music for a unique storytelling experience. "I like to look into the origins of things and find what is knowable of our history philosophy, and metaphors that may represent natural phenomena," said Richardson in an exclusive scoop at ComicBook.com . "When looking into the orig...

 Today Amanda Conner is one of the industry's most celebrated artists. The road to get to that position took a major turn 25 years ago when she first drew Vampirella, and now she's returning to the heroine for an exclusive new release only available on Indiegogo! Amanda Conner is known across the comics community and further for her fan-favorite writing and art on titles like  Harley Quinn, Power Girl, Before Watchmen , and more. In 1996, after a period of being typecast as an artist for comics oriented to young children or girls, Conner became the lead artist for Vampirella at the height of the "bad girl" trend. She capped off Tom Sniegoski's beloved run by concluding the original  Vengeance of Vampirella  series and the hyped-up death of the character. Chronicling the expected resurrection and proceeding blockbuster relaunch, Amanda became to many the next definitive artist of the character at the time, following Jose Gonzalez from decades prior. Returning fo...
