The latest and greatest from my very favorite band of hard drinking, rough fighting adventurers arrives in a new chapter from the queens of Palisade, the Rat Queens. After the shocking cliffhanger at the end of the last trade, readers might be wondering how this beloved series might possibly continue on. And now it’s finally time to find out.
The most terrifying, existential chapter in a series known for being both of those things goes to some dark and horrifying places. The terror of this storyline never lets up. If you’re like me, it will put you in a deeply existential place.
Bitter Root Volume 1: Family Business
The latest from Walker, Green, & Brown is a proper Southern spiritual. Once they were the proudest family of monster hunters in the world, who rid the world of spectral infestations rooted in hate. But a terrible tragedy has basically wiped them out. And the fate of the family (and the spiritual world) now hangs in the balance.
From the co-creator of Chew comes a tale of scifi horror on the edge of space. On the edge of interstellar society lives a terrible secret. And what the crew of starship Charon stumbles upon will change the face of the galaxy. And scare the tar out of you.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Shipping this week is DC’s Nemesis The Imposters #1. Just so we are clear this is NOT the new Mark Millar comic from Marvel staring modified versions of DC’s Batman and the Joker. Let there be no confusion: the Marvel comic featuring evil Batman will be called Nemesis, too. I mean Nemesis #1, not Nemesis #1 from DC. That makes perfect sense, right? […]
