Sweet Tooth: The Return #1 (of 6)
On November 3, acclaimed international bestseller Jeff Lemire and colorist José Villarubia reunite for a new six-issue post-apocalyptic fantasy miniseries featuring the bizarre, haunting, Sweet Tooth!
Once upon a time there was a little boy named Gus. He had antlers and lived with his father in a little cabin in the woods. Then his father died, and the big man with cold eyes took Gus away. Gus went on many great adventures, found friends, love, happiness, family, and acceptance.
Now, years later…it begins again. A young boy with antlers and deer-like feature wakes in a bizarre and completely foreign world where the last humans struggle to survive. They tell the boy he is special, he is chosen, and that he alone can lead them back to a world dominated by the oppressive Hybrids.
Sweet Tooth: The Return is no re-hash of the original series, but rather a bold re-imagining of the Sweet Tooth mythology; taking elements of the original series and remixing them into something familiar, but totally new. A divided world. A planet long ago past the point of devastation. And at the center of it all, a child who didn’t ask to be born into any of this, but who has no choice but to try and forge some life for himself. His visions and dreams may not be real at all…they may just be fiction. But they are hope. And sometimes hope is enough.
Acclaimed writer/artist Jeff Lemire returns with colorist José Villarubia to bring you the next chapter in the saga of DC’s acclaimed series Sweet Tooth!
Sweet Tooth: The Return #1, with a cover by creator Jeff Lemire and a card stock variant cover by Jim Lee, debuts November 3. New issues will ship monthly and the series will carry DC’s Black Label content descriptor, indicating content appropriate for readers 17+.

Victor and Nora: A Gotham Love Story
Written by Lauren Myracle
Illustrated by Isaac Goodhart
Colored by Cris Peter
Lettered by Steve Wands
Seventeen-year-old Victor Fries has a cold heart. After his brother died in a tragic house fire that Victor feels responsible for, his parents have isolated themselves, and Victor has dedicated his whole life to one thing: science.
Nora Kumar is full of life. She is suffering from an incurable illness that will slowly consume her, so she’s decided to live her last days to the fullest at her summer home in Gotham City until her birthday, the day she plans to take her own life.
When Victor and Nora meet one day at the cemetery outside of town, they are astonished to find the connection they’ve been missing in their lives. Their summer quickly spirals into a beautiful romance, and Victor’s cold heart is able to thaw, allowing him to begin to enjoy life just a little more. But when Victor learns of Nora’s illness, he’s driven to try to find a solution to keep from losing another person he loves … by whatever means he can.
Victor and Nora: A Gotham Love Story is a tragic tale about living life to the fullest and what it truly means to love … and to let go.
This new young adult (YA) graphic novel is written by bestselling YA author Lauren Myracle (Let It Snow, ttyl, ttfn) and illustrated by Isaac Goodhart and will tell the untold love story of Victor Fries and Nora Kumar. Myracle and Goodhart previously collaborated on the critically acclaimed Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale and are excited to come together in this moving story about first love and first heartbreaks.
“Victor and Nora was all Isaac’s idea,” said Myracle. “He’s the comics guru out of the pair of us, and thank goodness for his passion, because the depth of his knowledge about all things comics and all things DC is a driving force. We both knew we wanted to work together again if DC would have us, and he came up with the idea of telling the story of a young Mr. Freeze. After a little research of my own, I realized that sure, Victor Fries is a compelling character, but Nora, his girlfriend, is equally as compelling and that’s what drew me in.”
Goodhart added, “Lauren is exactly the type of writer and collaborator I always hoped to work with when I was a kid wanting to break into comics. Because this is our second graphic novel together, we know a lot about each other in terms of what we like and how we tell a story. That made Victor and Nora a true pleasure to work on. My vision for the art was to introduce more visual vocabulary than I ever have before! One of the (many) great things about Lauren’s writing is that she balances so many different tones throughout her works. There are scenes in Victor and Nora that are sweet and adorable. There are also scenes that are intensely uncomfortable and tragic. As an artist who wants to complement that, I tried to incorporate different tones visually.”
Myracle and Goodhart’s original tale will also go in-depth into Nora’s character, something that has not yet been done in DC storytelling.
“The cool thing about our story is that we get to explore these characters from a different angle and see them when they first meet,” said Isaac. “We get to show them falling in love and understand what makes their relationship so strong. The thing I was most excited about was the chance to give Nora equal billing. The story is told through alternating perspectives, so we get to know Nora and her goals and motivations as much as we do Victor’s.”
Myracle added, “I hope readers walk away with a deeper understanding that no one exists for the sake of having a walk-on role in anybody’s life, whether in fiction or reality. And are reminded, through the vehicle of a beautiful love story, that although life is fragile, it sure is frickin’ glorious.”
Victor and Nora: A Gotham Love Story will hit stores and online retailers everywhere books are sold on November 3, 2020.

Due to overwhelming demand, the female breakout character of IDW Publishing’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Jennika, will return in a second solo adventure!
Brahm Revel returns as writer-artist to kick off the first of two story arcs driving Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Jennika II, a six-issue miniseries debuting in November. While the first Jennika miniseries found the heroine still trying to acclimate to life as a mutant, the new story thrusts her into the dangerous underworld of Mutant Town, where mutants are turning into monsters and fear spreads rampant. There’s conspiracy afoot, and only Jennika can navigate the deepening divides of her new home to root out an evil conspiracy.
“A lot has happened in the real world since the previous miniseries; we now all know what it’s like to have our movement restricted, and how desperate things can get when food gets short and when jobs disappear. The average person now has a much better idea of what life is like for Jennika and the other mutants in Mutant Town,” says Revel. “Who knows, maybe reading what our cast will go through in Jennika II will help prepare you for 2021!”
“The world has been transformed in our TMNT comics and is full of new characters and dangers,” says Group Editor Bobby Curnow. “Given her background, Jennika is a character who is able to understand both the mutant and human worlds, so her perspective will be central to a story that explores the growing friction between communities. And more creators will introduce even more perspectives in the second story arc.”
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Jennika II #1 will be available with multiple cover variants for retailers and fans to enjoy, including Cover A by Brahm Revel, Cover B by TMNT co-creator and current TMNT: The Last Ronin writer Kevin Eastman, and a Retailer Incentive edition by Natacha Bustos (Go Go Power Rangers).

"It’s like owning a piece of original art from the series! Which.... as fast as people are buying Ryan and Geoffs art, might be the closest I ever get to having one!"
The raw Geoff Shaw "Ellie" cover will be a 1:75 incentive cover, the raw Ryan Stegman cover art will be a 1:100 incentive cover, the Geoff Shaw "Infinity" cover (main cover) will be a 1:200 incentive cover.
Hill added: "These covers were so much fun to put together… they're the closest you’ll get to grabbing the art right off of Geoff and Ryan’s desks. Eric [Stephenson, Publisher & Chief Creative Officer at Image Comics] had the idea to do something special as a thank you to the retailers and fans who’ve been so supportive, and we took the ball and ran with it!"
The highly anticipated Crossover will also feature a 1:10 incentive cover by Daniel Warren Johnson, a 1:25 incentive cover by Tradd Moore, a 1:50 incentive cover by Ryan Ottley,

Department of Truth #1 2nd Ptg
The Department of Truth by James Tynion IV (Batman, Something is Killing the Children) and Martin Simmonds (Dying is Easy) launched from Image Comics with over 100K in orders, before selling out instantly at Diamond Distributors last week. It is being rushed back to print to keep up with the whirlwind customer demand.
"I'm honestly speechless. You work on a comic book for a few years in isolation, and you hope that people are going to connect with it, but you never really know,” said Tynion IV. “Seeing the response to this series, both on a critical and a commercial front, has been absolutely staggering. Thank you so much for putting your faith in this little book. I am going to work my butt off to make sure it stays the best comic book it can be."
The Department of Truth #1 is Image's third-highest series launch since Eric Stephenson took over as publisher in 2008, behind Jupiter's Legacy #1 in 2013 and this week's The Walking Dead Deluxe #1.
Simmonds added: “It’s fair to say that the response to The Department of Truth has been quite incredible. To know that so many people have picked up the first issue, and that the reaction has been so enthusiastic, is extra rocket fuel for us to make sure we continue making a book that keeps readers engrossed with every turn of the page. Thank you for all the support, it means the world to us.”
Cole Turner has studied conspiracy theories all his life, but he isn’t prepared for what happens when he discovers that all of them are true, from the JFK assassination to flat Earth theory and reptilian shapeshifters. One organization has been covering them up for generations. What is the deep, dark secret behind the Department of Truth?
The Department of Truth #1 second printing (Diamond Code SEP208030) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, November 4.
The Department of Truth #1 is also available for purchase across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, comiXology, and Google Play.
Select praise for The Department of Truth:
"Genuinely one of the best comics you'll read this year. Do not miss it." —Scott Snyder
"A wonderfully dizzy mixture of Men in Black, John Carpenter, Stephen King, The Matrix, and 1970s conspiracy thrillers." —Forbes
"A new conspiracy thriller comic that should appeal to anyone with a fondness for The X-Files." —IGN
“Hickmanian conspiracy games, Burroughsian crime, Sienkiewiczian style. The Truth: you want it. Speak to your retailer. (I almost used the line Stray Toasters meets Stray Bullets which is very good, but not exactly it. Stray Toasters meets Stray Bullets with a Hickmanian conspiracy heart’ may do the trick).” —Kieron Gillen
"It is FANTASTIC. Can’t wait to read the whole series!" —Patton Oswalt
"The hype on this is real. A GREAT first issue." —Brian Michael Bendis

Savage Dragon #252 2nd Ptg
The wildly popular homage to classic “funnies” comic strips—SAVAGE DRAGON #252 by Image partner and CFO Erik Larsen—is being rushed back to print to keep up with growing demand.
In this experimental issue, Larsen taps into the beloved comics nostalgia of classic Funnies strips with double-page spreads in the iconic newspaper comic strip style of storytelling. From a Peanuts parody to a Dick Tracy send-up, from a Doonesbury lampoon to a Blondie satire, this issue is sure to amaze and inspire.
"I’m happy to see how enthusiastically this issue was received by the fans. It was an enormous challenge to write and draw. It took considerably longer to put together than an ordinary issue of Savage Dragon and it’s extremely gratifying to have had it be so well received," said Larsen. "I spent weeks combing through newspaper strips and making lists of what might work I drew strips which didn’t make the grade for one reason or another and had a lot of false starts along the way. Ferran Delgado, my letterer, hit it out of the park emulating the lettering of each strip. It was a tremendous effort but true labor of love for everybody involved."

Black Panther Phoenix variant cover by Aaron Kuder with colors by Matthew Wilson
Marvel has announced MARVEL’S VOICES: INDIGENOUS VOICES #1 (Nov. 15), a landmark special written and drawn by some of the industry’s most renowned Indigenous talent including celebrated artist and writer Jeffrey Veregge. Veregge, who just wrapped up his exhibition Jeffrey Veregge: Of Gods and Heroes at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, also lent his talents to produce an extraordinary series of variant covers in November. The NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE TRIBUTE VARIANT COVERS will showcase Dani Moonstar, Black Panther, Spider-Man, Black Widow, Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, and Thor depicted in Veregge’s iconic artistic Formline style.
“The story of the hero is an ancient one. Starting with the very first cave drawings, artists and writers from across the globe have both captured and shared the fateful acts of their people’s heroes. Being from the Pacific Northwest, my own people, the S’Klallam Tribe, have used the art style known as Formline to record and share the stories of our people since time immemorial. The art style I use in my own work today is an extension of the same shapes and forms used for hundreds of years by Native artists from and around the very same region,” Veregge said. “As a lifelong comic fan, artist and Native American, I am truly honored to work with Marvel Comics today. Not only to create pieces that represent a voice for Indigenous People in honor of Native American Heritage month, but also for the opportunity to share the same storytelling spirit of my ancestors by sharing the tales of some of today’s heroes.”

MCU Variant by Jen Bartel
Natasha Romanoff’s deadliest enemies have banded together in writer Kelly Thompson and artist Elena Casagrande’s thrilling new run on BLACK WIDOW. The Avenger is unknowingly trapped in a seemingly perfect life in San Francisco complete with a fancy job and a loving fiancé. As the cracks in this devious deception began to show in yesterday’s shocking second issue, fans learned yet another startling secret—Black Widow has a son! Who is little Stevie? Who are the villains behind this twisted plot? And when and how will Natasha break free? The revelations continue nonstop in BLACK WIDOW #3 on November 4th but in the meantime, get a sneak peek at what’s to come in two stunning upcoming variant covers!
A foreboding family portrait teases the devastating cost that will come when Black Widow discovers the truth in Annie Wu’s haunting variant cover for BLACK WIDOW #3, and Natasha Romanoff’s shattered past collides with her idyllic new life in Marco Checcheto’s mesmerizing variant cover for BLACK WIDOW #4.
“Our first arc has some of the stuff you would expect in a Black Widow book, but I think twisted in a new way that’s interesting,” Thompson told Marvel.com. “And where she ends up at the end of this highly personal and life changing story is ALSO interesting!”
This new era is graced by the beautiful art of Elena Casagrande. Known for her acclaimed work on Catwoman and Supergirl, Casagrande brings Natasha Romanoff’s latest misadventure to life in a bold cinematic style.
"I love to put on the pages all my visual knowledge from movies and TV shows, to find a kind of fine solution or charming fusion between the potential of the comic language and the modern motion-picture visual,” Casagrande said in a recent interview with Inverse. “Panel layouts are inspired by movie frames but always keeping in mind tricks and codes of the comics that bring me the opportunity to give great vibes with fewer efforts.”
And fans will be delighted at Jen Bartel’s vibrant depiction of Scarlett Johansson’s iconic portrayal of the character in her cover for BLACK WIDOW #3!

U.S.Agent, the Super-Soldier you love to hate is back in an all-new series by writer Christopher Priest and artist George Jeanty! When John Walker is stripped of his official status as U.S.Agent, the former Super Patriot goes independent and gets caught up in a conflict between a small town and the corporate giant trying to destroy it. With a brand-new partner and a dangerous new enemy, Walker’s mission will force the unconventional “super hero” to confront hard-hitting questions about himself and the nation he serves. This journey of self-discovery will dive into the character’s past and set U.S.Agent on course for an exciting new place in the Marvel Universe.
Marvel Host Ryan Penagos recently sat down with Christopher Priest to discuss the acclaimed writer’s views on the former Captain America. Find out what makes U.S.Agent tick and check out never-before-seen art form the series in this exclusive video interview!
“John Walker is not a super hero. No matter how hard he wants to be a super hero, he’s really not,” Priest explained. “And that’s the whole point of John Walker. The whole point of a guy like John Walker is to point out just how much strength of character and nobility and self-sacrifice it takes to actually be called a hero in the Marvel Universe.”
John Walker’s high-stakes adventure is now underway! Pick up the debut issue, on sale now, and don’t miss U.S.AGENT #2 when it hits stands on December 23rd.

"Neil Gaiman Norse Mythology #2"
Honestly, I loved the book and I loved the first issue of the comic book adaptation. But the HC collection of the first six issues has already been solicited. That's going to look so good next to the HC of Lee/Kitby's Tales of Asgard and the HCs of Walt Simonson's Ragnarok, why would I buy additional periodicals?
IDW has recently promised that color versions of The Walking Dead will not be collected anytime soon, but I already trade-waited the original black & whites? I'm also trade-waiting a color collection of From Hell. Do you think I won't wait for a HC color version of TWD (if that's indeed, what I want)?
Similarly, a HC of Marvels: Snapshots (comprising issues not even released yet) has already been solicited. I'll wait, thanks.

You shame me, sir. I should have waited on Snapshots. But I got the first few to see if they were worthy of a column, and when I determined they weren't, I kept buying them anyway, because I'm a &^&%*%!! completist. And don't you know I'll buy the collection anyway. If only I had your foresight!
I won't be buying the color Walking Deads in any format, though. I've already got the full hardback run, plus the floppies through about issue #100. And we see the story again on TV. I don't think I need any more.
And I DID have the foresight to wait on Gaiman's Norse Myths. I have the book, and to tell you the truth, I wasn't all that impressed. I've read Snorri Sturluson's prose and poetic eddas, plus some other versions and interpretations, so I'm hep to this jazz. Gaiman's book, though, didn't contain all of my favorites, and the ones it did contain seemed written for children.
The art in the comics version will sell me, though.
