I Saw Spawn: A Twisted Christmas Tale #1
Writer: Chris Killian, Andrew Sanders
Artist: Todor Hristov
Publisher: Image Comics
The sequel to last year’s acclaimed Christmas horror story, I Saw Santa! Writers Chris Killian & Andrew Sanders take readers back to the twisted world of serial killers, Santa, and of course Spawn. The North Pole is shaken by a gruesome massacre that bears the signature of serial killer, Charlie Kohl. As Santa Claus investigates, dark forces begin to corrupt Santa’s workshop from within, and it’s clear Spawn is the only one who might be able to put a stop to this terribly twisted Christmas. The tale unfolds with the glorious art of Todor Hristov. Truly a new Holiday tradition not to be missed!
Minor Threats: The Cleaner #1
Writer: Gerry Duggan
Artist: Mark Torres
Publisher: Dark Horse
Twilight City is a hard place to live — and an easier place to die. But some bodies never make the headlines. When the capes make a mess too big to bury, they call one number: The Cleaner.
By day, David O’Halloran is a struggling small business owner. By night, he’s the spandex world’s last call for cleanup — disposing of the un-disposable with precision, secrecy, and a price. But when his path crosses with the deadly and dazzling Diamond Dahlia, everything changes. She has a secret past with the legendary vigilante The Insomniac, and it’s about to erupt onto the blood-slicked streets.
It’s superhero noir from Gerry Duggan (X-Men, Deadpool, Falling in Love On The Path To Hell) and superstar artist Mark Torres (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).

When an ambitious and troubled video game programmer dares to audition for a secret society in the gaming/tech industry, composed of cutthroat, genius masterminds that promise to help their members achieve their wildest dreams, he and his rebellious co-worker find themselves in a gauntlet of real-life puzzles that quickly turn deadly. But in order to win, they must solve the dangerous challenges, unlock the group’s true motives and unveil the real architect of this ordeal. Are they truly smart enough to survive the mysterious game of the Masterminds?
Author Zack Kaplan (Kill All Immortals, Port of Earth) and illustrator Stephen Thomson (Aliens: Definace, Black Panther and the Crew), the creative team behind The Midnight: Shadows, join forces with colorist Thiago Rocha and Eisner award-winning letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou to bring you an enigmatic thriller for the age of tech industry omniscience.

The Exorcism at Buckingham Palace TP
Writer: Hannah Rose May
Artist: Kelsey Ramsay
Publisher: IDW Publishing / IDW Dark
It’s 5:00 a.m. at 10 Downing Street. The prime minister jolts awake to a call that stops his heart: The royal family has been lost at sea.
Parliament is in chaos. Buckingham Palace is in lockdown. Conspiracy theories flood airwaves and social media. Some say it was an attack on the prince and princess, others believe it was the result of an ancient family curse.
But the real crisis is that the only heir left standing is Theo Belmont, a scandal-prone playboy, tabloid fixture, and barely-recovered addict. Now the crown he never wanted is his. Can Theo rise to meet his destiny or will the weight of it drag him into darkness?
Hannah Rose May (The Exorcism at 1600 Penn, Rogues’ Gallery) and Kelsey Ramsay (Moon Dogs, Godzilla: Heist) return to exorcise the demons haunting England’s most famous address.
The Exorcism at Buckingham Palace is an haunting and unsettling story with fantastic artwork, a true masterpiece in horror. Hannah Rose May and Kelsey Ramsay craft a tale filled with unease, addiction, and family drama while something dark lurks in the background. It’s just where I never knew I wanted this series to go. – CLICK HERE to read our review of the first issue
