This creepy-looking new mini-series from Image reminds me of Angelville from Preacher–cool to read about, but not somewhere I’d ever like to visit. “TEE FRANKLIN (BINGO LOVE) and ALITHA E.

The Jook Joint keeps the jazz popping, people bopping… and the women? The women are to die for. There’s only one rule: ‘Keep your hands to yourself.’ But some men think rules don’t apply to them, and Mahalia and her coven of slain women enjoy reminding them that they most certainly do.” Buy It Now

With roots going back to the highly sought-after 1962 trading card series, Dynamite launches a MARS ATTACKS series. It’ll be interesting to see what spin they put on the franchise. The original cards were full of gore and innuendo, but more people probably remember the 1996 film from Tim Burton which was a comedy. “Spencer hasn’t finished a dang thing in his life. So when he goes to visit his dad to see if maybe he can borrow some money, the last thing on his mind is global survival.
