The sleepy little town of Aurora Springs, NY, has exactly one claim to fame: it’s the birthplace of Rascal Randy . Not the man in the suit — the man has never mattered.

  Tigress Island #2 Writer: Patrick Kindlon Artist: EPHK Cover Price: $3.99   Publisher: Image Comics Published: April 15, 2026 An island prison full of lost women. A vindictive warden. And a slim chance to escape if they can work together. But not everyone shares the same vision. Our girls are going to have to fight their way out. Score: ★★★★☆ (4/5) I'll admit I approached *Tigress Island* with some skepticism — another story of women trapped on an island, forced to fight for survival feels like well-worn territory. But Patrick Kindlon's involvement gave me reason for optimism, and two issues in, that faith has been rewarded. The series has hit its stride quickly, delivering sharp character development, gleefully over-the-top villainy, and a persistent undercurrent of dread that keeps the tension coiled throughout. What could easily have leaned into exploitation territory has instead remained compellingly restrained — no gratuitous sex or violence, just an en...
