From Eisner nominated artist Tyler Boss (4 Kids Walk Into A Bank, Dead Dog’s Bite) and bestselling writer Matthew Rosenberg (DC vs. Vampires, Uncanny X-Men) comes an epic adventure about growing up and getting lost at the end of the world.
When 16 year-old Sid goes missing in the wastelands, it’s up to the members of her gang to try to discover what happened. But what they find is a whole world beyond anything they could imagine. Like Lord of the Rings meets Lord of the Flies, or John Carpenter by way of John Hughes, this series smashes together sci-fi and fantasy with elements of comedy, horror, and mystery for an emotional coming-of-age story unlike anything you’ve read before.
4 Kids Walk Into a Bank (Black Mask)
4 Kids Walk Into a Bank is the darkly comedic story of four burgeoning child criminals and their elaborate plans.

Dead Dog’s Bite (Dark Horse)
Cormac Guffin has gone missing. It’s been three days and no one has seen hide nor hair of her. The police have nothing, and the townsfolk are acting more like a funeral procession than a search party. If Cormac has any hope of being found, it rests on the slouching shoulders of her best friend Joe. Joe will need her wits about her though because, like any story worth hearing, nothing is what it seems.

What is the deep, dark secret behind the Department of Truth―and will learning it destroy Cole’s life from the inside out?

You’ll Do Bad Things (Image)
It’s been ten years since the release of He Came in With a Smile, the true crime smash hit that chronicled the brutal murders committed by the Nursery Rhyme Killer. But in the decade since its release, its author, Seth Holms, hasn’t produced another title.
Seth wants to write a story with a happy ending, but every time his fingers clack across the keyboard, it always ends in his characters’ deaths. Worse yet? These tales of blood and barbarity that flow so freely from Seth’s imagination are starting to happen in real life…
Exquisite Corpses (Image)
Trick-or-treating. Clocking in for your shift at work. Going to the annual Halloween party down at the Pit. For the citizens of Oak Valley, Maine, any one of these activities could spell a gruesome death as twelve of the most dangerous killers in the world turn their sleepy little town into the playing field for a game that will decide the fate of the entire country for years to come.

Universal Monsters: Phantom of the Opera (Image)
After a series of violent crimes wracks the Paris Opera House, Christine Daaé’s career is in chaos. But the show must go on, and Christine will discover that no one — especially the mysterious voice whispering from the eaves — is what they seem.
As an old friend returns to investigate these surprising attacks, Christine will find out there’s no escaping… THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.
Exquisite Corpses: Rascal Randy (Image)
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. He was no one until he put the mascot head on for the first time, until he felt the life leave someone’s body through the thickly furred gloves of the suit.
No, Aurora Springs is the birthplace of Rascal Randy the rabbit, who, once upon a time, was poised to become the greatest animated character this country had ever seen — until greed and tragedy changed his trajectory forever.
Now, before the events of Exquisite Corpses Season 1, witness the final murder spree of this iconic killer, as chaos hops into town with buckteeth bared and ears flopping… and the secret, sordid history of Rascal Randy is finally revealed.
The first issue of Rascal Randy hit local comic shops on July 8, 2026.
