Out of Alcatraz HC - Cantwell Signing 10/22
We're still finalizing the details, but please pencil in a signing with Christopher Cantwell on October 22 to celebrate the launch of the Out of Alcatraz Hardcover.
Born from one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the 20th century, Eisner Award-nominated writer Christopher Cantwell (Plastic Man No More, Briar) and Eisner Award-nominated illustrator Tyler Crook (Harrow County, The Lonesome Hunters) deliver the year's most gripping and intense graphic novel event. Convicts Frank Morris and Clarence Anglin wash ashore in San Francisco after surviving their infamous escape from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary in June 1962. They soon meet their stern and disillusioned handler, a mysterious young woman also fleeing from something, and they hope to quickly head north to the border — if they can even survive the journey out of Modesto. As a relentless federal manhunt and chance encounters jeopardize the desperate fugitives, everyone involved is about to uncover the same bloodstained truth: Life on the run is an even more hellish prison than Alcatraz ever was.
No Place
Eisner-nominated writer Tim Seeley (Revival, Peacemaker Presents: Vigilante) and artist Stefano Simeone (Radiant Black) invite you to explore the dark side of childhood imagination in this dark fantasy! Mariposa Montiel, an outcast daughter of immigrants, faces a harsh homecoming. After vanishing from her Chicago neighborhood, she returns to a traumatized family and media frenzy, carrying a tiger-striped feather and a story about her time as a jungle hero in Mayahuela. Dismissed as a fraud, she becomes a stranger in her life until N.O. Place, a secret, high-tech organization led by an Oz legend, reclaims her. They monitor fictional worlds—now, Mari must save ours from a Lovecraftian nightmare. NO Place features new heroes and iconic characters, with main covers by Simeone.

EC Comics: Outlaw Showdown
VENGEANCE RIDES AGAIN!

Outlaws, gunfighters, and scoundrels confront their fate as creators like John Arcudi, Brian Azzarello, David Lapham, Tony Moore, and Ann Nocenti unleash hell. Plus, a restored story of Western justice from EC’s archives! While most comics ask you to pick death or glory, EC says... why not both?
Cult of the Lamb: Schism (One-Shot)
In partnership with Massive Monster and Devolver Digital, the record-breaking comic book expansion of CULT OF THE LAMB is BACK with a 48-PAGE SPECIAL by writer Alex Paknadel and artist Troy Little. After sacrificing their first follower, Lamb continues the quest to defeat the Bishops of the Old Faith, but they lack the conviction to tend their cult.

When famine strikes, a challenger emerges, and a new struggle begins...
