Your favorite foul-mouthed adolescent, Kidpool, is back in comic book form starring alongside the biggest debut character in recent memory, Spider-Boy!

Heartpiercer TP
Writer: Rich Douek
Artist: Gavin Smith
Publisher: Dark Horse
Atala thought she was saving the world-but in hunting down the great beasts, she wound up dooming it. Betrayed by her lord, Kurrn, and left for dead, she awakes in a dark world overrun by nightmares, with a single mission on her mind: revenge.
But before she can avenge herself on Kurrn, she must deal with the devastation left in his wake – beginning with a tribe of vicious werewolves menacing one of the last human settlements. As she confronts the bestial Howler and comes to terms with her own past, Atala must unlock a deep and ancient power inside herself if she is to survive, much less triumph.
Dawnrunner HC
Writer: Ram V
Artist: Evan Cagle
Publisher: Dark Horse
A century ago, a portal opened over Central America and giant monsters known as the Tetza came through, changing everything we knew. Now the world bends all its effort to build the Iron Kings-great mechs driven by pilots-that battle the Tetza in gladiatorial combat for humanity’s continued survival. War has turned to sport. Star jockey Anita Marr has been chosen to pilot a secret new prototype that could change the tide in humanity’s favor. After a difficult first battle together, Anita begins to uncover and understand the unusual connection forming between herself and the experimental new Iron King, Dawnrunner. As the Tetza threat grows, Anita, Dawnrunner, and their secrets will become mankind’s last hope. Are we doomed or will dramatic revelations push Anita and Dawnrunner to transcend into something new?
I Heart Skull-Crusher TP
Writer: Josie Campbell
Artist: Alessio Zonno
Publisher: BOOM! Studios
Teenage Trini will do anything to compete in her favorite sport, Screaming Pain Ball, alongside her longtime hero Skull-Crusher, and a gaggle of misfits is just what she needs to cross the American wastes and battle in Queen Mob’s deadly tournament. With Trini’s dreams of being just like Skull-Crusher on the line, what will it take to win a coveted spot on their team?
With hope in her heart and an icepick in her hand, Trini will never stop chasing her dreams… and taking us along for the funniest, queerest, craziest, bloodiest underdog tale of all time.
