Award-winning author Sarah A. Hoyt continues her celebrated run on Barbarella this coming February with a thrilling new storyline "The Center Cannot Hold." Known for writing everything from science fiction and fantasy to mystery and historical fiction, Hoyt quickly took to the character that she read as a child and pitted Barbarella against the brutal dictator know as The Lady. The new series doesn’t miss a beat, picking up with a new mission and taking us into more scintillating science fiction madness.

Barbarella and her pal Vix are off to the curious creature's home world to try and stop a war between the Architects and their ancient nemesis, the fearsome Unnamable.

  Fan-favorites Peter J. Tomasi ( Batman and Robin, Superman, Black Adam: The Dark Age, Super-Sons, Detective Comics ) and Maxim Šimić ( Escape from New York, Worlds Apart ) team up for Blood Tree , an all-new ongoing series set to launch from Image Comics in February 2023. In Blood Tree , two obsessed NYPD detectives hunt for a vicious butcher called the Angel Killer, a sociopath who preys on the innocent family members of known murderers in order to “purify” the rest of society. This new story confronts the battle of nature versus nurture, considers how present and future generations are tainted by past generations, and asks the age-old question: Who must pay for the sins of the fathers—and perhaps even the sins of the mothers? "I always wanted to take a shot at writing a taut and haunting crime drama in the tradition of Silence of the Lambs meets Seven ," said Tomasi. Šimić added: "This book will surely grip the reader the same way it gripped me after reading the ...

  Fan-favorite duo Brian Haberlin and Geirrod Van Dyke are back with an all-new, high-fantasy adventure in, The Last Barbarians . This ongoing series is set to launch from Image/Shadowline in February 2023. You’d think in a fantastic world full of giants, magic, and flying fish, it would be a world of possibility. But you’d be dead wrong here! Sylv is a jack of all trades; she can fight with the best of them, pick most pockets, and even cast a third-level spell or two. It’s too bad for her that if you aren’t a member of a guild, you are persona non grata: completely outcast from adventuring. That might be fine, except she has her disabled seven-foot-tall brother to take care of. If she can’t find a job to support them both, they’ll be dead in a ditch in a matter of weeks. So now her only hope is a quest from a sketchy cleric who promises only a true hero can save the day. Sylv has a lot of skills…and she’ll need them all to survive this hero’s journey! “I'm so excited to be writ...

  THE NINJETTES #3  Writer: Fred Van Lente Artist: Joseph Cooper, Dearbhla Kelly Letters: Jeff Eckleberry Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment Release Date: November 16, 2022 Cover Price: $3.99 It's Alpha Ninjettes Vs. Omega Ninjettes! Fun fact: Three things can happen to an Omega Ninjette...they can get banished, get killed, or (very rarely) kill an Alpha and take their place. This...is a rare story. Score: ★★★★☆ (4/5) QUICK REVIEW: Things are as intense as ever as Steph tries to survive while making allies and Blanca, the white-haired girl, is far from dead. Fred Van Lente keeps the tension high with a severely wounded Blanca providing the narration and serving as a wild card. Ceejay and her crew await for Steph to be drawn out but Steph has other plans. It's a bit of a cat-and-mouse game in this issue but we do get more character work in an attempt to differentiate the girls caught in this test of survival. Like any competition, competitors try and form alliances so they jo...

  From the team who brought readers Resurrection —Marc Guggenheim ( Arrow, X-Men Gold, Star Wars: Revelations ) and Justin Greenwood ( The Old Guard: Tales Through Time, Future State: Gotham )—comes a brand-new superhero in Torrent . This new ongoing series will launch in February 2023 from Image Comics. Michelle Metcalf is the world’s most happy-go-lucky hero—Crackerjack—until tragedy forces her to cross the line from hero… to vigilante. “Michelle gets dragged through hell and back, pitting her against all levels of villains and heroes alike! It has been insanely fun to draw a super-hero book overflowing with action, not to mention getting to team up with so many of my pals and frequent collaborators," said Greenwood. "Marc has built a rich world of incredible characters and we are having a blast putting them through the meat grinder. It’s exactly the kind of vicious, kinetic comic I’d been champing at the bit to draw, and it looks amazing thanks to Rico’s bold colors and...

 The one-shot horror anthology BETTY: THE FINAL GIRL slashes into stores in February Archie Comics icon Betty Cooper -- known for 80 years as the girl next door with a ready solution for every problem, might have finally found her match in CHILLING ADVENTURES PRESENTS... BETTY: THE FINAL GIRL , a one-shot anthology from the renowned Archie Horror imprint, is on sale in February! The slasher sub-genre's most widely loved trope, the "final girl" is the clever survivor who carries a relentless plot across the finish line, taking it to the bad guy in the last scene. Writer Micol Ostow ( Fear the Funhouse, Riverdale: The Ties That Bind ) immediately turned to Betty when she thought of marrying the genre with Archie's core cast of characters. "I'm a diehard horror fan, and I've been obsessed with how seamlessly Archie's been able to integrate different styles, levels, and aesthetics of spookiness into their Archie Horror library," Micol said.
