Cool-sounding, new science fiction from Black Mask Comics! “In a galaxy where terraforming is the most common form of real estate development, a highly skilled team of ‘dismantlers’ travels to failed sites and salvages what’s left of them. But that’s not the hardest part of their job. Because relationships with each other can be even more complicated than transforming entire planets. This is not a story of a prestigious Federation or of a powerful Empire, but of the menial laborers who make it all possible, the unglamorous characters who work behind the scenes of galactic expansion. This is a story of their pillow talk, their break room banter, and their totally unforeseen fist fights with the pirates who jack their […]

Surprise! Avengers #1! I’m positive Jason Aaron and Ed McGuinness will do a great job. I’m just still disgruntled over the legacy numbering ploy. “Thor Odinson. Steve Rogers. Tony Stark. The Big Three of the Avengers are reunited at last! And just in time to save the world from total annihilation at the hands of their most powerful enemies yet: the 2000-foot-tall space gods known as Celestials. Behold the coming of the Final Host.

A worthwhile cause. A worthwhile exploration of the issues. “‘On October 1, 2017, Las Vegas, Nevada suffered the worst mass shooting in modern American history, resulting in 58 deaths and over 500 injured. It broke my heart. Las Vegas is my home. I felt like something needed to be done to help in a unique way.’-JH WILLIAMS III, Artist and Curating Editor This ‘unique way’ was the genesis of the WHERE WE LIVE anthology – a riveting collection of both fictional stories and actual eye-witness accounts told by an all-star lineup of the top talent working in comics today.
