Hey, this looks pretty cool. Vault has had some surprisingly good series, so it’s worth checking out if you’re looking to add something new. “When a dream entity known as a figment emerges from a dreamer’s mind, it’s Daher’s job as an IJ to track them down and make the call: reinsert the figment, or grant them agency in our world.

Oh, I love samurai stories, and Greg Pak is a great writer. This will be awesome. “After a mysterious attack wipes out the major cities of 19th century Japan, Korea, and China, survivors from all three lands find refuge on a hidden island and build a new society.

Here’s an exciting new DIAL H FOR HERO mini-series, offered as part of DC’s WONDER COMICS imprint.

Will he rise as a new hero in the DC Universe or crumble under the weight of responsibility the dial thrusts upon him? This blistering new six-issue miniseries joins the Wonder Comics lineup with stories by award-winning fan favorite Sam Humphries (HARLEY QUINN) and art by Joe Quinones (Howard the Duck).” Pre-Order […]
