Cemetery Kids Run Rabid #1
Writer: Zac Thompson
Artist: Daniel Irizarri
Publisher: Oni Press
One year ago, four friends barely escaped the unrelenting terror of the video game called Nightmare Cemetery. After spending endless hours locked into the innovative Dreamwave—the first gaming console played entirely while you sleep—in order to save one of their own from the game’s all-too-real consequences, they survived . . . barely. But after their harrowing rescue, they’ve decided they’ve had enough of Nightmare Cemetery and its enigmatic final boss, the King of Sleep.
That is, until the newest DLC, The Blighted Sprawl, suddenly appears online with a promise to reveal the truth of what actually lurks at the heart of Nightmare Cemetery’s digital darkness . . . and why its effects are now bleeding out into the real world in an array of bizarre and disturbing new ways.
Quick Stops Vol. 3 #1
Writer: Kevin Smith
Artist: John Sprengelmeyer
Publisher: Dark Horse
Holden McNeil and Banky Edwards are best known for creating the smoking-hot superhero comic-book Bluntman and Chronic — a tour de force of the dick and fart joke genre. For Holden, it’s a way to pay the bills, but he longs to create the kind of art he and Banky did at the beginning of their career. Something personal. Something that means something
Enter Alyssa Jones. The coolest girl in the world, and someone who means something. This is the comic Holden wrote about her. A comic about love. A comic about insecurity. A comic about growth. A comic about Chasing Amy.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III #1

The crossover sensation is back for a third epic adventure! With Rita and Krang defeated, the bad guys aren’t cutting the Rangers and Turtles no slack! Lord Zedd and Shredder have a new plan to take down the radical teen heroes and if they don’t act carefully, they may just succeed.

Skin Police Vol. 1 TP
Writer: Jordan Thomas
Artist: Daniel Gete
Publisher: Oni Press
In the year 2142, fertility levels around the globe plummeted, and a black market for illegal clone babies emerged. Millions of parents used their own genetic material to welcome these new children, only realizing the horrific consequences far too late. At some point in their life cycle, three in four of these genetic duplicates transform into psychologically unstable killing machines known as “Dupes.” Fortunately, the United Nations of Europe has decided to take an active role in containing the growing threat. Their specialized task force has taken up the unenviable task of hunting Dupes before their violence can spread. To the government, they’re the Duplicate Identification and Capture Division. To everyone else, they’re the “Skin Police.”
Skin Police is a fantastic horror sci-fi series that had me hooked from the opening panel. While the pacing was a bit rushed to start, I felt the artwork, overall story and outstanding title were so much fun. Jordan Thomas‘ writing and Daniel Gete‘s artwork are the ingredients needed to create a fun comic and I am eagerly awaiting more from these creators. – CLICK HERE to read our entire review.
