UPCOMING RELEASES for 11/22/23
But speaking of quality storytelling, you can’t miss BECKY CLOONAN and TULA LOTAY teaming up for the new, steamy, Puritanical witch-hinting mini-series, SOMNA!! It is sexy and gorgeous and SO VERY GOOD! And weirdly perfect for the week of Thanksgiving!
And then, comic superstar JASON AARON takes on Batman for the first time in BATMAN OFF-WORLD! It’s the story of the first time Batman leaves Earth. Jason “gets” Batman as well as he gets Thor and The Punisher, so you’re in for a treat with this one, and especially so because DOUG MAHNKE is on art!
What more do you want? Be sure to make Challengers a part of your Thanksgiving holiday weekend and you’ll be giving thanks to yourself for doing so!!

SOMNA #1
BECKY CLOONAN and TULA LOTAY-Both writing and drawing a creator-owned project together for the FIRST TIME! Set amidst the terrifying backdrop of the witch hunts in a quiet 1600s English village, SOMNA follows one woman's descent into an erotic escape from the confines of her puritanical world.
BATMAN OFF-WORLD #1
A routine night in Gotham City for a young Batman proves to be anything but routine when the crime-fighter is confronted with a sort of foe he's never faced before--one from beyond the stars! A universe of possible alien threats leads Batman to make a daring decision--to venture alone into the far reaches of the cosmos for the very first time! Superstar writer Jason Aaron delivers his first Batman story ever, partnered with blockbuster artist Doug Mahnke!
INDIGO CHILDREN VOL 01
Fifteen years ago, a group of extraordinarily gifted children who claimed to be reborn martians sent to earth to save the world, disappeared without a trace. They were the Indigo Children. Journalist Donovan Price has spent the last fifteen years trying to hunt them down and find out what happened. But when he does, it kickstarts a chain of events that will alter the trajectory of mankind. Collects INDIGO CHILDREN #1-6 and comes with a SIGNED BOOKPLATE!
HOLY ROLLER #1
Written by ANDY SAMBERG, RICK REMENDER, and Fall Out Boy's JOE TROHMAN, with art by ROLAND BOSCHI.

With only his bowling ball collection to defend himself, Levi becomes THE HOLY ROLLER, a trick bowling ball-wielding Jewish superhero battling to liberate his home and bowl a perfect game against crime!

Marriage ain't easy, especially when your spouse is hiding a monstrous secret. Just ask Rob Moreland, who knows things aren't great lately with his wife, Fiona, but is hoping to fix that... until the Lunar Lodge calls to confirm her stay. Rob decides to shadow his wife to the hotel but what he finds reveals even more horror than he thought. Rob will soon discover there's much more to the Lunar Lodge-and to his wife-than meets the eye.
