 One of the oldest and most iconic couples in genre fiction reunite once more this summer in Dejah Thoris vs. John Carter of Mars by sci-fi superstar Dan Abnett! Kicking off this July from Dynamite, Abnett ( Guardians of the Galaxy, Aquaman ) opens a new chapter in the storied history of Barsoom and its charismatic couple. Serving as a perfect jumping-on point for new and returning fans, while also continuing threads from Abnett's previous tales, the love of Dejah Thoris and John Carter will be tested by a grave new threat and cataclysmic planet-wide war. "Now that John Carter has returned, is he still the legendary hero they all respect?," said writer Dan Abnett. "And are he and his beloved Dejah still working to the same ends? It's a tale of swords, sorcery, space gods and true love, an interplanetary romance in the true sense of both those words." Barsoom has been in crisis, wracked by freak weather seemingly signifying a coming ice age. Matching turbu...

Melville Snelson was killing it. He was the talk of the stand up circuit. He had a TV sitcom in development! He even had a date with Janeane Garofalo (although, to be fair, she denies it). But that was the 1990’s — and that was a long time ago. Welcome to SNELSON: COMEDY IS DYING, an all-new series from AHOY COMICS, written by Paul Constant, featuring art by Fred Harper, colors by Lee Loughridge and lettering by Rob Steen. This 5-issue series chronicles the misadventures of a washed-up comedian whose career peaked when Dawson’s Creek was still on the air. Bitter because he missed his big break in the ‘90s, Snelson is struggling with the idea that he’s a victim of cancel culture or, even worse, forgotten altogether. The debut issue, featuring a collectible variant cover by legendary cartoonist Peter Bagge ( Hate ), will be published by AHOY Comics on August 4, 2021. “I love this book,” said Patton Oswalt. “I know this character. Wait — AM I this character? Damn you Fred Harper!” SNE...

Okay, that's it. Nathan's getting down to business today: he's finally working on his novel. All he needs is some solitary writing time-no "helpful" parents, no superhero social media, and definitely no alien voices beaming an unintelligible language into his brain. That's not too much to ask for, right? RADIANT BLACK #3 Writer: Kyle Higgins Artist: Marcello Costa, Becca Carey Publisher: Image Comics Release Date: April 21, 2021 Cover Price: $3.99 Score: ★★★★☆ (4/5) In comics there's character development then there's Kyle Higgins' Olympic level of character development. In 'Radiant Black' #3 the struggling writer turned unexpected superhero, Nathan Burnett, decides to get serious and sit down and write that novel he's been putting off for years. It's an exercise in immersive storytelling that's certainly unconventional for a new hero series because the majority of the issue is about Nathan's writing process or lack there...

This unique story is a fast-paced, 128-page, full-color, pocket-format experience all told in its original Martian language.

In the 1970s, legendary filmmaker Oliver Larsen began production on what was to be his horror masterpiece. Obsessed with authenticity, the megalomaniacal director insisted on filming a real-life occult ritual performed by actual cult members. The cast and crew, of course, gave no credence to the cultists' beliefs, but soon were proselytized as something awoke that day on the studio lot. In the bloody aftermath, the production was permanently shut down, the footage suppressed, and the soundstage that bore witness forever shuttered. Until today. ***  THE LOT #1 *** Written by MARGUERITE BENNETT Art & Cover by RENATO GUEDES PLUS: An All-New BAD IDEA B-SIDE FOUR ISSUES | MONTHLY | IN GLORIOUS BLACK AND WHITE $5.99 EACH  |  40 PGS.  |  ON SALE JULY 7, 2021 RATED: T+ FOR ABJECT TERROR, PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR AND INVOKING DESPAIR  Aviva Copeland is the newly promoted studio head -- the youngest in decades.

Not all the dogs believe Sophie, they think she's stirring trouble ...
