ANIMAL POUND #1
When animals grow tired of being caged, killed, and sold off, it's only a matter of time before they've had enough... When an uprising puts a pound in control of the animals, they quickly find themselves as comrades, united against everything that walks on two legs. Tom King and Peter Gross collaborate to bring this Orwellian allegory to life for the 21st Century.
ORIGINAL X-MEN 1
Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Iceman and Angel - the first and greatest heroes to bear the X-Men name - once traveled into their own futures and reset the course of history. Now another multiversal mystery calls them forth. When the dust settles, one hero will remain, trapped in the world as we know it. With shocking surprise guests and heart-pounding twists and turns, Christos Gage and Greg Land kick off a story that will shake the whole MU!
LIFE IS STRANGE FORGET ME NOT #1
Written by ZOE THOROGOOD! Alex & Steph tour across the states in their band until they find another lost soul on the side of the road - Lily. The pair take the teenager under their wing to uncover the truth of what she's running from. But there's more to Lily than meets the eye, as she silently struggles under the weight of heartache and memories from lives she hasn't lived, to protect those around her from the truth of pain. An all-too-familiar story to Alex, but is there time to save Lily from a similar, lonely, fate?
MAZE AGENCY #1
Jennifer Mays, sophisticated New York private eye and owner of the Maze Agency and her paramour, Gabriel Webb, somewhat scruffy true-crime writer and amateur sleuth, romance, solve crimes and catch killers in fair-play detective stories that the reader is challenged to solve before they do!
BOREALIS #1
From screenwriter Mark Verheiden, writer/actor Aaron Douglas, and artist Cliff Richards comes Borealis, a bone-chilling supernatural thriller! Winter nights last months, temperatures can hit seventy below, alcohol is illegal... and something mysterious is emerging on the remote ice. Welcome to the isolated Qinu, Alaska and a world of bad memories for State Trooper Silaluk "Sil" Osha. After thirteen years away from Qinu, Sil is pulled back to investigate a series of brutal murders, only to face a dark past... and her frightening connection to deadly legends.

CHARRED REMAINS #1
A dark entity made of fire, smoke, and ash-"The Fire Man"-blazes through a young girl's home, killing her entire family.

With no one else to rely on, Amy is forced to battle both past trauma and the face of the inferno.
