It's a riveting crime thriller in the middle of horrifying real-world situations. While the growing threat of Nazi occupation continues in Europe and sympathizers assemble in the U.S., two gangsters begrudgingly partner to take down Nazi assassins in their own backyard.  The conclusion to the first arc comes to an exciting finish as Jonas and Levi jump on a moving train trying to prevent an assassination attempt. It's a non-stop action thriller that's both a little familiar and promising if the series were ...

Spy Thriller MAYDAY by Alex de Campi, Tony Parker, & Blond Collected at Panel Syndicate

 MAYDAY MAYDAY! Yep, MAYDAY indeed. The world seems to be reverting back to the (definitely not) happy Cold War days, so what better way to celebrate than with this spy action thriller set in the 70s by the high octane team of Alex de Campi, Tony Parker, and Blond! April 1971. The CIA is handed the espionage coup of the decade when a KGB general defects with a list of all Soviet intelligence assets in Asia. All Jack Hudson has to do is get the general and his microfilm from Hong Kong to California… and keep Palm Springs’ overzealous FBI office from turning everything into a freakshow. All Codename: Felix has to do is kill the defector and get the microfilm back to the USSR, by any means possible. Easy, right? Now throw in a beautiful woman, a fast car, and a whole lot of drugs. Originally published under Image Comics as a 5 issue miniseries we are thrilled to present it now in one single 152 page digital collection! Available now at  panelsyndicate.com for whatever price yo...

Vikings, Trolls, and Valkyries Collide in the Upcoming 'Beware the Eye of Odin' by Doug Wagner, Tim Odland and Michelle Madsen

  Vinyl and Plastic creator Doug Wagner teams up with artist Tim Odland and colorist Michelle Madsen for a tale of Vikings, trolls, frost giants, and Valkyries in the upcoming Beware the Eye of Odin. This four-issue miniseries is set to launch from Image Comics in June.  “I can’t wait for people to see this book. This whole thing started with Tim and I sitting at a Taco Bell trying to come up with something for he and I to work on together," said Wagner. "He spouted out he’d like to do something with Vikings and monsters (Tim is actually descended from real-life Vikings by the way). I was like, ‘I’m in, but only if we get to put our own spin on all those Norse monsters, creatures, and especially dwarves. I want my crack at dwarves.’ We didn’t leave Taco Bell for four hours after that.” Beware the Eye of Odin follows a Viking prince who, when he discovers the Eye of Odin, must embark on a harrowing quest to return it to its rightful owner—or face a death of boils and deca...

Meanwhile metal band The Grunch gear up to find a spooky place to shoot a music video. Both groups gravitate towards the abominable Maison Du Corneilles - the last place many of them will ever know. Love, jokes, voodoo, creepy kids, and the undead... Get ready to start shrieking in delight and fear! Score: ★★★★☆ (4/5) 'Swamp Dogs' is not your conventional zombie tale. It has the makings of a horror movie from the '70s where horny young people end up in some obviously dangerous predicaments and have to fend for their lives. Writers J.M. Brandt and Theo Prasidis have taken the slow burn approach prioritizing character development over easy scares. They've resisted the urge to throw readers on a blood-soaked killing ...
