Dark Horse | 64 pages | $12.99
Writer Ben Kahn (Gryffen: Galaxy's Most Wanted, Heavenly Blues) and artist Georgeo Brooks (Solving Xandra) take you on a fun, humorous, action-filled adventure through the world of Greek mythology to discover what it truly means to be a god in a new all-ages graphic novel from Dark Horse Comics and Ubisoft, Immortals Fenyx Rising: From Great Beginnings.
Fenyx enjoys her new life on Mount Olympos, but when her hometown suddenly gets hit by strange earthquakes, she has to investigate. Back at home, she reunites with her human father —to his shock, he learns that gods are real. Fenyx’s mom, who had kept her godhood under the radar, cautions her that such a life has its drawbacks and things get messy when Zeus makes an appearance. As the earthquakes continue to rupture the earth, dangerous creatures emerge, past foes return, old flames reignite, and history is once again in the making! It’s time for the gods to team up to fight as a family!
“We’re thrilled to be collaborating with Dark Horse comics on the next chapter of Fenyx’s adventure. Ben and Georgeo tell this riveting tale with humor, heart and soul. Can’t wait to share it with all of you!” said Jeffrey Yohalem, narrative director of Immortals Fenyx RisingTM at Ubisoft.

REWILD OGN
Dark Horse | $19.99
Acclaimed writer Devin Grayson (Omni, Batman: Gotham Knights) is joined by rising star artist Yana Adamovic (D Day) in her American comics debut, along with letterer Sal Cipriano to put a powerful, modern twist on an ageless fantasy tale in Rewild, the latest graphic novel from Karen Berger’s award-winning imprint Berger Books.
The lines between fantasy and reality are blurred in this dark, environmentally-themed magical realist tale. Poe is a mysterious young homeless woman and self-proclaimed fairy changeling. Demond is an enterprising engineer with a troubled past. When Poe demands that a park be built to appease a dangerous new mutation of mythical creatures, ravaged by climate change and furious with the human race, Demond must question not only his own sanity, but the rationality of our entire species as he struggles to save his city-- and maybe even the world.
“Beautifully written and illustrated, Devin and Yana have crafted captivating characters in a timely tale where reality, myth and magic overlap,” said Karen Berger. “This lyrical and powerful story deals with the fragility of the mind and our planet in unforgettable ways.”
Devin Grayson is a seasoned comic writer, working for the past twenty years on world-renowned superhero icons from Batman to the X-Men to Marvel’s current Widowmakers as well as writing original graphic novels, including USER (DC) and Matador (Image).
Yana Adamovic is an artist from Belgrade, Serbia. Recently knighted by the French Minister of Culture, she has worked as a colorist and artist for the French comic publisher Delcourt Editions since 2014 and more recently published a two-book story about the Ottoman Empire as part of a popular alternate history series in France, Jour J (D Day).
SHE COULD FLY VOL. 3: FIGHT OR FLIGHT TPB
The groundbreaking one-of-a-kind series from Eisner-nominated co-creator of AMC’s Halt and Catch Fire Christopher Cantwell (Iron Man, Doctor Doom, The Mask) and acclaimed artist Martín Morazzo (Ice Cream Man, Snowfall), with stunning color by Miroslav Mrva (Deadpool), comes to an astonishing finale in the original graphic novel She Could Fly: Fight or Flight.
After an intense brain surgery, Luna’s mental imbalances are more manageable, but still problematic. Now 18, she’s estranged from her parents and forging a life on her own. But Luna soon discovers that there’s a new Flying Woman in town … one that’s hellbent on causing havoc and terror.
After witnessing this new Flying Villain, Luna's purpose finally becomes clear. She must be the one to fly — for the good of Chicago, for the sake of her family, for the memory of Mayura, and for herself.
And this battle will all take place above the city skyline.
“Luna finally gets to fly, and we fly with her in this storytelling tour-de-force from Christopher, Martin and Mirsolav,” said Karen Berger. “It’s an emotional and thrilling finale that totally captured my heart.”
Praise for She Could Fly:
"She Could Fly is a modern-day masterpiece. … It’s heartbreakingly beautiful and honest to its core.” – Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad)
“Full of unexpected pleasures, She Could Fly is no ordinary comic series. Cantwell pushes the boundaries of the story-telling form in this masterful, joyful, poignant first outing. A must-read” – G. Willow Wilson (Ms. Marvel, Invisible Kingdom)
“Devastating and wonderful.” – Bleeding Cool
SIR EDWARD GREY: ACHERON ONE-SHOT
Dark Horse | $3.99
Story/Art: Mike Mignola
For the first time in five years, legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola is both writing and illustrating a full length comic book, one which provides the next chapter in the fabled Hellboy Universe. Titled Sir Edward Grey: Acheron, the one shot story is set following the events of B.P.R.D.: The Devil You Know, in which the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense managed to fight off the monsters on earth long enough for humanity to barely escape underground. The story is Mignola’s first full length comic book since Dark Horse Comics published Hellboy in Hell in 2016; here he reunites with award-winning colorist Dave Stewart, as well as letterer and longtime collaborator Clem Robbins. Dark Horse Comics will publish Sir Edward Grey: Acheron this winter, featuring a main cover by Mignola and Stewart and a variant cover by acclaimed artist Ben Stenbeck and Stewart.
“I’ve been saying I’ve been semi-retired for years, but I keep coming up with new stories anyway” said Mignola. “In Sir Edward Grey: Acheron, Hellboy is dead and gone and the B.P.R.D. are underground. And so it turns to Edward Grey to return to Hell to confront a familiar foe and finish what needs to be done to truly save the world.”
“The mysterious Edward Grey has long been in the shadows of the Hellboy Universe,” said Katii O’Brien. “The Victorian occult detective’s ghost made repeated appearances in Hellboy in Hell, but now he’s front and center. If the original weird investigator can’t save the world, no one can.”

Millennia ago, Queen Hera and the goddesses of the Olympian pantheon grew greatly dissatisfied with their male counterparts… and far from their sight, they put a plan into action. A new society was born, one never before seen on Earth, capable of wondrous and terrible things, but their existence could not stay secret for long. When a despairing woman named Hippolyta crossed the Amazons’ path, a series of events was set in motion that would lead to an outright war in heaven—and the creation of the Earth’s greatest guardian! One of the most unforgettable DC tales of all time begins here, with subsequent issues featuring art by modern masters Gene Ha and Nicola Scott releasing in the spring and autumn of 2022.

DYNAMITE
EVIL ERNIE #1
Dynamite | 32 pages | Teen+ | $3.99
Story: Scott Lobdell | Art: Ariel Medel | Covers: Brett Booth, Arthur Suydam
Dynamite Entertainment proudly presents an all-new Evil Ernie #1, written by Scott Lobdell and illustrated by Ariel Medel! Featuring two amazing Covers: The King of the Undead -- Arthur Suydam and amazing superhero artist Brett (Titans) Booth!
After EARNEST GLECKMAN is mortally wounded, he discovers he must "pay down his new lease on life" by serving as a part time fixer for a death cult. Each time he manifests his dark side as EVIL ERNIE it becomes harder to maintain his tenuous grip on his inherently good humanity
EARNEST GLECKMAN is a good kid with exceptional grades in his senior year at college ... his only quirk is the rock band he sings in every Saturday night. He enjoys the rock esthetic and "dressing the role" if not acting like a nihilistic punk.
All that is changed when he assumes the role of EVIL ERNIE, who is the polar opposite of EARNEST. ERNIE is vicious and cruel and sadistic as he employs all manner of torture or murder (or oft-times both!) against his targets.
EARNEST is stable, good, focused. ERNIE is a chaotic, evil anarchist.
Evil Ernie first appeared in December 1991! Celebrate 30 years of CHAOS!
From IMDB: Scott Lobdell rose to the top of the 1990s on Marvel's X-Men related titles, specifically Uncanny X-Men, the main title itself, and the spin-off series that he conceived with artist Chris Bachalo, Generation X. He also had writing stints on Marvel's Fantastic Four, Alpha Flight, and The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix miniseries with artist Gene Ha. One of the premiere comic book writers of the nineties, Lobdell won 2 consecutive Wizard Awards for his ongoing work on Marvel Comics' Uncanny X-Men. He is also a prolific creator of other self-published titles such as "Ball & Chain", "Hellhole" and "The Stray". In 2017, he wrote the smash horror film Happy Death Day.
CC sez: Can't say this character does anything for me. But it's a potentially exploitable IP, so I can't blame Dynamite for trotting it out every once in a while.

KING OF SPIES #1 (OF 4)
Bestselling comic book titan Mark Millar (Jupiter's Legacy, Kingsman: The Secret Service) has created a new series at Netflix in his Millarworld department, but he's also adapting this into a comic book series too. Re-teaming with fan favorite artist Matteo Scalera (Black Science), the first appearance of this new character will now appear in King of Spies #1, a spectacular four issue miniseries launching from Image Comics in December.
In King of Spies, the world's greatest secret agent has six months to live. Does he die quietly in a hospital bed, or does he make up for a lifetime of bad decisions and murder all the REAL bad guys before he goes? He's been propping up an unfair system for over forty years. Now he knows where all the bodies are buried and has nothing to lose when he turns his guns on everyone who ever made a buck creating the mess we're all in right now.
"I've been doing this job since I was 19 and this is the most I've ever enjoyed it," said Millar. "I LOVE the Sir Roland King character and there's something beautifully cathartic about seeing him kill all the people in the real world I can't stand. There's zero repercussions for him as he's going to die anyway, the only catch being that he has to stay one step ahead of every security service in the the world as they hunt him. Matteo has rapidly become my favorite artist. I just love him. He brings an amazing Frank Miller energy to this, a Dark Knight Returns-vibe that has me almost weeping when the pages came in. I loved working with him on Space Bandits so I'm delighted to have him do the comic version of this. The guy's a god!"
Scalera added: "I missed working on a good old revenge story! King of Spies was definitely the perfect book for me. On one side it challenges me to improve my background drawing skills, being a story that takes place in so many different parts of the world, from London, to my beloved Italy, to the States, etc. … On the other sides it allows me to have tons of fun thanks to some unbelievable crazy-fast-violent-action scenes, which are my absolute favorite thing to draw! I’m so proud of what Mark, the team and I are accomplishing with this book, and I can’t wait for the whole world to see it!"

“Redneck has been a life changing experience for me as a writer. It’s the series that has been closest and dearest to my heart since it began so many years ago,” said Cates. “It will always be a part of me and I hope that you will all come and watch as it comes to its fiery, apocalyptic end. The Bowman’s have lived and died for centuries. For eons. But all things must come to an end. The war begins here. The fate of human and vampire kind comes to its millennia-long conclusion in the heart of Sulphur Springs.
“We end, of course, where we began.
“In Texas.
“Texas Forever."
In Redneck #31, war is coming to the Bowmans, and with it comes death and destruction! Some will live, many will die!
“Brace yourselves! The end is coming! Our beloved vampires are here for the last ride and we want you to come with us to see it!” said Estherren.

Jason Aaron leads an all-star group of talent in AVENGERS #750 this November
This November, Marvel Comics proudly presents the 750th issue of AVENGERS, and it promises to be one for the ages!

The giant-sized epic will be packed with revelations and jaw dropping moments, including the introduction of THE MULTIVERSAL MASTERS OF EVIL, the deadly new group of villains fans met in this year’s FREE COMIC BOOK DAY: AVENGERS/HULK #1!
Throughout this supersize extravaganza, fans will also witness the shocking conclusion of “World War She-Hulk”, finally learn the true purpose of the prehistoric Avengers, uncover the shocking secret of the Iron Inquisitor, watch the Avengers recruit some surprising new members, and follow the Ghost Rider on a quest for vengeance across the Multiverse that will spark an all-new era in Avengers history!
“It's such an honor to be a part of issue #750 of AVENGERS, and I'm looking to celebrate the rich history of the title and its iconic characters by using this issue as the gargantuan-sized kick-off for a story that'll be as wildly sweeping and swing-for-the-fences epic as it can possibly be,” Aaron said. “It's not just that everything I've been doing in the last 50 issues of AVENGERS has been leading to this, but there are threads feeding into the next year's worth of stories that stretch back to most every major series I've ever written in my 15 years at Marvel Comics.”
In addition, best-selling author Christopher Ruocchio, known for his award winning The Sun-Eater series, makes his Marvel Comics debut alongside superstar artist Steve McNiven in a bonus story starring Thor.
"I'm honored to play a small part in this moment of Avengers history and thrilled to get to work with Steve McNiven to bring you all a little classic Thor,” Ruocchio said. “It's a bit surreal to get to work with a character I grew up with, and I hope I've told a tale worthy of the God of Thunder."
To celebrate this milestone, some of the industry’s top artists have turned outstanding variant covers!
Marvel’s Stormbreaker Carmen Carnero brings to life one of the Avengers’ greatest romances in her beautiful depiction of Scarlet Witch and Vision. Rob Liefeld continues to team up his legendary creation with every corner of the Marvel Universe in his latest Deadpool 30th Anniversay variant cover. Series artist Ed McGuinness showcases the Multiversal Masters of Evil, the startling new group of villains that will be introduced in this giant-size epic. And more from artists Ron Lim, Simone Bianchi, and Marcos Martin!
CC sez: Wow, issue #50 already! It's hard to believe it was just 49 months ago that Ant-Man, Hulk, Iron Man, Thor and Wasp joined together to ... oh, wait.

MINKY WOODCOCK: THE GIRL WHO ELECTRIFIED TESLA TPB
Titan | 112 pages | $24.99
Story/Art: Cynthia von Buhler
Cynthia von Buhler’s latest graphic novel is woven around little-known historical facts such as Nazi interest in Nikola Tesla’s death ray, Josephine Baker’s spy activity during WWII, and Donald Trump’s uncle’s involvement following Tesla’s mysterious death.
Titan Comics and Hard Case Crime are thrilled to announce the return of the critically acclaimed Minky Woodcock hardboiled detective series in a brand-new graphic novel arriving in stores on November 9, 2021. Written and illustrated by award-winning artist, author, director, and playwright Cynthia von Buhler, Minky Woodcock: The Girl Who Electrified Tesla also features stunning cover art by the legendary Robert McGinnis, poster artist for classic films such as Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the original James Bond movies.
Minky’s new adventure is set during World War II, nearly two decades after the events of the first volume (Minky Woodcock: The Girl Who Handcuffed Houdini) and pits the talented female detective against another sinister and twisted conspiracy when she gets involved with world-renowned inventor Nikola Tesla, Nazi agents, and the race to command the world’s first weapon of mass destruction. Based on extensive historical research by von Buhler, the story teams the fictional Minky Woodcock with real-world figures such as the ground-breaking performer Josephine Baker, who secretly spied for the French during the war; Nazi agent Otto Skorzency; multiple generations of the J.P. Morgan family, driven by greed to stifle Tesla’s inventions; and Dr. John Trump, Donald Trump’s scientist uncle, who was recruited by the FBI to investigate Tesla’s design for a death ray.
Von Buhler’s past projects include collaborations with Steven Spielberg, Clive Barker, and Neil Gaiman, who said he was “seduced by Cynthia von Buhler’s artwork. She is a wonder.” Geeks Worldwide described the first Minky Woodcock volume as “Stunning…10 out of 10,” while NB Magazine called it "bold and extravagant…weaves fantasy into fact to dazzling effect.”
Cynthia von Buhler is not only the creative talent behind Minky Woodcock, but also an internationally celebrated artist and the visionary creator of Titan’s bestselling graphic novel The Illuminati Ball and the immersive NYC theatrical experience of the same name. Her work has featured in outlets including the New York Times, Broadway World, Forbes and the Wall Street Journal.
Describing Minky’s new adventure, von Buhler said, “As with the Houdini episode, all the anecdotes related to Tesla’s life in my book are based on fact. I really love finding bizarre, unbelievable facts and weaving them into my stories.”

PLUS: An All-New BAD IDEA B-SIDE
Embark on a tale of love, loss, life, death and bloody revenge! Meet Monday Ryan, a pyrate with a bad reputation and a price on her head. To be a pyrate is to live a short and merry life and to live it free. It ends for most with a length of rope and a four-foot drop.
After a series of successful attacks, Monday Ryan, her husband, and her crew of bandits are targeted and pursued relentlessly by the British Royal Navy. When a violent trap leads to their capture, Monday and crew are fitted for the gallows — until the Royal Navy learns that Monday’s pregnant. Civility prevents the hanging of a pregnant woman, and Monday is spared the noose, but her crew and husband are not. Set adrift on a small raft and left to her fate on the open sea, Monday vows that the life growing inside her will be born into a world where its father’s death has been avenged. She will find and kill every last soul responsible for her husband's death, and her baby will enter into this world free of vengeance, free of bloodshed, and free of a future drenched in violence.

Story: Matt Kindt | Art/Cover: Marguerite Sauvage
From the limitless imaginations of New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (River Run) and Eisner Award nominee Marguerite Sauvage (Bombshells) comes a very special tale of discovery in the outer reaches.
A woman awakens on an alien planet with no memory of her previous existence. She begins a quest to survive, relying on her wits, skills, and instincts to adapt to an inhospitable environment. After months barely surviving, she discovers a mysterious spacecraft at the bottom of a frozen lake. She dredges it, only to discover a blurred holographic image and distorted messages. She repairs the craft and journeys across the galaxy — but what is the ship’s destination, and who are the messages from?
LAST RESORTS
Story: Mark Russell | Art/Cover: Adam Pollina
Mark Russell (Flintstones) joins forces with virtuoso artist Adam Pollina (Whalesville) for a tale of friendship and adventure in the far future.
Cyrus Garvey couldn’t believe his luck: If he agreed to attend a timeshare presentation, he’d get a free transporter trip anywhere in the galaxy. And those things are expensive! Cy sat through the hour long presentation at Last Resorts Inc, passed on the timeshare, but took the vacation, and man was it a blast. A few days later, Cy’s friend gets the same invitation, but she’s reluctant to go — she can’t say no to a salesman. Cy agrees to sit through the presentation under her name, and she’s cool, as long as they can take a trip together.
Cy shows up to the presentation, takes a seat in the back and prepares to run out the clock on the hour, but is surprised to find a familiar face giving the sales presentation is…himself?!
Surely Last Resorts Inc., didn’t take Cy’s DNA from the transporter and clone him? Surely they didn’t build a bunch of clones as slave labor … and surely Cy didn’t agree to this in the fine print. Man, all Cy wanted was to get away for a few days …
