Thanksgiving #1
Writer: Mark Russell
Artist: Alain Mauricet
Publisher: Ahoy Comics
An intense, timely one-shot from Mark Russell (X-Factor, Traveling to Mars) and Alain Mauricet (HOWL). Thanksgiving — a day when American families come together, until the strain inevitably tears them apart. But for one family, the cruel and deadly secret of the Turkeyneck Killer binds them together in the saddest, most shameful way possible.
War Wolf #1
Writer: Steve Orlando
Artist: Marco Perugini
Publisher: Mad Cave Studios
After he fends off an alien invasion, Thomas Bruin goes from a nobody security guard to Earth’s greatest hero! He’s got a supercharged launchpad and no ceiling. Bruin rises from celebrity to congress, then to the head of the planet’s first orbital security force. He’s married into one of the country’s most powerful political families, he’s surfing a wave of endorsements, and he’s the very symbol of human resilience. So why is Bruin nervous? Because only he knows his great victory is a lie. When the aliens return to Earth, stronger than ever, Bruin has no choice but to be the hero he’s fooled the whole world into thinking he is…or die trying.
War Wolf is a great new sci-fi dark humor romp, showcasing Steve Orlando and Marco Perugini at the top of their game. The premiere issue lays an excellent foundation for what’s to come: plenty of twisted laughs, high-energy battles, and a wild ride that makes for a seriously fun read. – CLICK HERE to read the entire review
Hello Halloween #1
Writer: Various
Artist: Various
Publisher: BOOM! Studios
Trick-or-treat yourself to a fresh batch of nightmares.
Dare you turn the page? The hit anthology series returns with another chilling installment of bone-rattling horror! Terrifying new tales arrive just in time to haunt your seasonal reading list!

The Terminator: Metal #1
Writer: Declan Shalvey, Rory McConville
Artist: Lorenzo Re
Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment
Keep your friends close — and your enemies closer!
In the post-apocalyptic future that follows Judgment Day, the shattered remnants of humanity must make use of every tool they can in their existential battle against the machines — and that includes the deadliest weapons that Skynet sends to annihilate them.
For one member of the Resistance, this means trusting his life to a reprogrammed Terminator. Trapped behind enemy lines, the soldier and his repurposed engine of destruction must find a way to both survive and complete their mission — an undertaking with such a low probability of success that it could reboot the Terminator back to its default settings!
Acclaimed Terminator and ThunderCats author Declan Shalvey is joined by co-writer Rory McConville and returning artist Lorenzo Re for a brand-new chapter in his chilling saga of the War Against the Machines with The Terminator: Metal #1 — featuring brutally beautiful covers from Shalvey, Bob Layton, Sebastian Piriz, and Ivan Tao!
