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. MARTINEZ (Black Panther: World of Wakanda) team up for a timely horror series from the Deep South. Mahalia runs the hottest spot in all of 1950s New Orleans. 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.
