  • KILLER INFLUENCES #1

    31086955452?profile=RESIZE_192X31086955466?profile=RESIZE_192XIn July, Eisner Award-nominated writer Joey Esposito (The Pedestrian) and artist Valeria Burzo (EC Comics: Epitaphs from the Abyss) present the thrilling true crime serial killer saga KILLER INFLUENCES #1. Melvin’s a serial killer who craves infamy. His problem? He’s so efficient and methodical that he doesn’t have a brand and no one has connected his crimes — except for Kylie, an aspiring true crime influencer who reaches out to him, hoping his story can help her become a star. The unlikely duo will make a pact to accomplish their dreams… and destroy their lives in the process.

    The launch titles from the IDW CRIME imprint are all three issue limited series, each one 40+ pages for only $4.99 USD. Contact a comic shop near you to pre-order the debut issues of SEVEN WIVES, KILLER INFLUENCES, and FIXATION.

    UNCOVER SECRETS AT THE EDGES OF THE EARTH KINGDOM IN THE NEW AVATAR LEGENDS GRAPHIC NOVEL THE LEGEND OF KORRA: KYA AND THE SECRET OF THE SAND

    31084193869?profile=RESIZE_400x01/21/2026 -- Dark Horse Comics, in collaboration with Avatar Studios and Avatar Legends co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, presents The Legend of Korra: Kya and the Secret of the Sand, a brand-new tale about Aang and Katara’s daughter, Kya. It is written by Eisner-nominated graphic novelist Kiku Hughes (Displacement), illustrated by Alexandria Monik (The Legend of Korra: Mystery of Penquan Island), colored by Diana Sousa (Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins) and lettered by Comicraft’s Jimmy Betancourt (Ghostbusters: Dead Man’s Chest).

    About The Legend of Korra: Kya and the Secret of the Sand:

    While helping Korra recover in the Southern Water Tribe, Kya shares a story from her youth of a time when she was lost and disconnected from herself, far from home in the Si Wong Desert . . .

    Young and untested, Kya leaves her family to seek her purpose in the wider world. Hoping to test herself and help struggling communities, she heads to the Si Wong Desert, where scarce resources and fractured communities are making the fringes of the Earth Kingdom increasingly unstable. Kya, arriving in the community of Liyuan to teach healing and help the struggling community defend itself from bandits, finds that the wounds left from decades of conflict run deep, and may be harder to heal than she first thought.

    The saga will be told July 28, 2026, when The Legend of Korra: Kya and the Secret of the Sand (paperback, 80 pages, 6” x 9”) arrives in comics shops and bookstores. It is now available for preorder from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comics shop and bookstore for $13.99.

    Praise for Avatar: The Last Airbender graphic novels:

    “A meaningful one-off about adapting to change that will satisfy Avatar: The Last Airbender fans.” —School Library Journal on Avatar: The Last Airbender—The Bounty Hunter and the Tea Brewer

    “Vox Machina Origins II is one of the best comics adaptations I've read in a while. It oozes fun and personality, and serves as an excellent starting point for fans interested in what Critical Role has to offer. It's also a great fantasy series that can be enjoyed by anyone who loves traditional adventures in high fantasy.”—Comicbook.com

     

    DARK HORSE BOOKS PRESENTS “SUPERCROOKS LIBRARY EDITION”

    Supercrooks Library Edition

    The latest Millarworld creation to be presented in oversized hardcover format

    31044878278?profile=RESIZE_400xMILWAUKIE, Ore., (October 31, 2025)—Mark Millar and Leinil Yu’s supervillain heist comic series will be collected in the Supercrooks Library Edition, arriving in July 2026 from Dark Horse. Written by Millar (Huck: Big Bad World, Kingsman), pencilled by Leinil Yu, inked by Gerry Alanguilan, colored by Sunny Gho, and lettered by Clayton Cowles, this hardcover edition will collect all four issues of the supervillain comic series and will feature a cover by Yu.

    About Supercrooks:

    Why do supervillains always pull jobs in the cities with all the superheroes? The last place you’d want to rob a bank is Metropolis or Gotham, because you’re only going to get caught and tossed in prison. But Europe doesn’t have any superheroes at all. If you’re an American supervillain looking to make a few bucks, there’s worse places than Spain to hang out for a few weeks and get a suntan while you pull a legendary job against one of the greatest criminal minds of all time–who’s retired to the Costa Del Sol and has his loot stored away in a secret location.

    Supercrooks Library Edition (112 pages, hardcover, 8” x 12.1875”) will be available in bookstores and comic shops on July 7 and 8, 2026. It is now available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comic shop or bookstore for $49.99.

    Praise for Supercrooks:

    “Mark Millar and Lenil Yu have pulled out ALL the stops for Supercrooks.”—Comics Are Not Dead  

    “‘Smooth’ doesn’t begin to cover it. Super Crooks is a joy from start to finish.”—Slings & Arrows 

    “Super Crooks is a fun heist story that makes you want to reread it immediately, so you can look back at all of the clues you missed along the way..”—Fanbase Press
