Past Time #1
Writer: Joe Harris
Artist: Russell Olson
Publisher: Mad Cave Studios
Henry Hayes could have been the best baseball player anybody ever saw, if only his dark affliction didn’t prevent him from playing in the daylight. But when the barnstorming circuit introduces a new novelty to the game—night baseball under the bright lights—will his dreams of playing pro ball finally be realized, or will his bloody past catch up with him before he gets the chance? From the midwest fields of the 1920s to the big city lights of today, Past Time is a small town thriller on a National scale.

Houses aren’t the only thing that are haunted…This spring, architect of terror Michael W. Conrad (Wonder Woman, In Bloom) and 2024 Ringo Award-winner Dave Chisholm (Miles Davis and the Search for the Sound) begin a deep and disturbing excursion into 21st century-horror with a new kind of tale that will rebuild the four walls of the American ghost story from the foundation up…
Thirteen years ago, Orin McCabe was a family man living a privileged life in the suburbs. Today, he’s condemned to death row for murdering his entire family in an unexpected fit of hammer-wielding brutality. In the aftermath of his heinous crime, it’s fallen to a trio of eclectic, but dedicated, ghost hunters-Jacob, the holy man; Holland, the skeptic; and their leader, Del, a true believer in the occult and worlds beyond-to surveil the abandoned McCabe home in search of proof for the existence of the undead…and whatever supernatural source may have possibly fueled McCabe’s inhuman massacre. But this ill-matched and uneasy squad of investigators is about to discover something much more terrifying than any ordinary spirit…Something much more pernicious, much more contagious, that if not contained, could take full advantage of America’s unquenchable appetite for violence and deliver a plague of blood unto us all…

Artist: Marcus To
Publisher: DSTLRY
Join Chip Zdarsky, David Brothers, and Marcus To for a sci-fi adventure that defies expectation and time itself!
Meet Blue, a man trapped in the past, which is our present. Sent back in time for a mission he could not bring himself to complete, the former soldier Blue builds a life with Grace, the Sheriff of a small rural town. The pair build a foundation of happiness on a history of bloodshed, as far away from the trigger-happy corporate overlords that used Blue as a human gun.
After ten years together, Blue and Grace are on the cusp of taking the next step in their relationship: adoption. Before Grace can fully convince Blue to expand their family, the future comes calling. The overlords want their first deserter and to complete the mission Blue could not. They have one simple rule: kill anyone who stands in their way.
