UPCOMING RELEASES for 12/17/25
If you know anything about Patrick, Dal or Challengers in general, you know there is only ONE book we're going to rally around this week... Kyle Stark's WRESTLE HEIST #1! It's Ocean's 11 meets Wrestlemania! It's a pro wrestling crime comic, as only Kyle Starks can do it! A former pro wrestler—who has a brush with death thanks to a crooked promoter—assembles a crew of fellow wrestlers he’s screwed over... to rob him blind during the biggest wrestling event of the year. Huge nods to professional wrestling of the past and present, super-fun back matter featuring a bunch of comics industry pros, and Kyle's prefect-for-wrestling art! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Plus, a bunch of other stuff to keep your late-December filled with comical book goodness!!

NEW BOOKS OF NOTE
----------
WRESTLE HEIST #1
It's Ocean's 11 meets Wrestlemania! It's a hoot! Here's what Patrick says about it: “Wrestling comics are usually hard to pull off, but Holy Andre the Giant, Kyle Starks has done it!! Wrestle Heist is a gripping heist/revenge story set in the world of professional wrestling. Is it “about” wrestling? No. Is there wrestling in it? Yes. Do you have to follow pro wrestling to love it? Nope! Look, it’s a GOOD comic. It’s a FUN comic. And it’s exactly the kind of comic I want to sell AND read! So, don’t take Kyle’s word for how good this book is; take MINE!!”
DC K.O. HARLEY QUINN VS ZATANNA #1
DC K.O. ALL FIGHT MONTH! It's all-out chaos as Harley Quinn faces off against a surprise opponent! Actually, it's not a surprise at all-- it's ZATANNA! They tell us that right in the title!
BLACK PANTHER INTERGALACTIC #1
T'CHALLA, the King of Wakanda, faces the challenge of uniting all of his kingdom — on Earth and in the stars! Before he can begin, though, someone — or something — steals him away to a mysterious planet where the BLACK PANTHER must fight for his life! SHURI, his sister, works to find him — but with the king and princess distracted, will someone else seize the title of Emperor of Wakanda?!
BARBARIC LONG DEATH #1
Wha--you didn’t think we’d come back? BARBARIC loves you! AXE LOVES YOU! And he’s giving you his heart, in the form of THE LONG DEATH #1. Our heroes slaughter their way ever closer to the answers to their big questions. Owen learns all about his curse; Soren learns about her curse; Axe gets drunk. The consequences are…BARBARIC.
MARVEL RIVALS IGNITE IN COLOR #1
PEACH MOMOKO has SAI take on the symbiotic chaos of VENOM! YUJI KAKU brings Frank Castle – the unbeatable PUNISHER – face-to-face with...PENI PARKER?! Where Peni is, SP//dr isn't far behind... K-pop star LUNA SNOW is brought to the depths of ASGARD and right into the hands of HELA! Or is it actually Hela...?
THUNDERCATS HO!(LIDAY) #1
While on a mission in the snowy mountains of Third Earth, the ThunderCats stumble across Snowman, the last of his people, on the eve of the Festival of the Claw — a day of celebration, food, and gifts, and a time for Snowman to pay tribute to those he’s lost. With no others of his kind remaining to pass his traditions on to, Snowman shares them with the ’Cats, who understand all too well the need to persevere in the face of overwhelming loss.
