MISKATONIC #1
AFTERSHOCK COMICS
SEP201021
(W) Mark Sable (A) Giorgio Pontrelli (CA) Jeremy Haun, Nick Filardi

Miskatonic Valley holds many mysteries - cultists worshipping old gods, a doctor deadset on resurrecting the recently deceased, a house overrun by rats in the walls - but none more recent than a series of bombings targeting the Valley's elite.

These horrors reach a breaking point when the brilliant, hard-nosed investigator Miranda Keller is sent to stop the bombings. To J. Edgar Hoover, there can be no other explanation than those responsible for similar actions during the Red Scare of the 1920s... but when Miranda digs too deep, she uncovers an unimaginable occult conspiracy, one that may cost Miranda her job - and her sanity.

From writer Mark Sable (GODKILLERS, Graveyard of Empires) and artist Giorgio Pontrelli (Dylan Dog), MISKATONIC is a mix of historical crime fiction and Lovecraftian-horror that dives deep into the American nightmare.

The chilling grip of the ancient Darkhold threatens the Marvel heroes, and it's up Doctor Strange and Ironheart to save the day... but there's more to this terrifying mystery, as our heroes follow the twisted trail the Darkhold leaves behind, discovering its lost stories, full of scares and thrills!

Jermey Whitley pens the four spooky stories in this bi-weekly event, all drawn by a bone-chilling gathering of eerie artists! First: Strange and Ironheart learn of the spine-tingling time Iron Man and Captain America faced a horrifying post-modern prometheus!

“Marvel characters have an incredibly long and colorful history in horror stories, from the traditional Marvel Monsters, to Werewolf By Night, to Tomb of Dracula. Those were all titles that I loved growing up, and getting to introduce young readers to the world of spooky Marvel characters is an honor and a privilege. I can’t wait for everyone to see what we’re cooking up,” says Whitley.

TEEN TITANS GO ROLL WITH IT TP
DC COMICS
JUL200433
Written by: Heather Nuhfer - P.C. Morrissey
Art by: Agnes Garbowska and Sandy Jarrell
Cover Art by: Agnes Garbowska

The Titans have a regular game of Basements and Basilisks, but when the basement boss (Robin, of course) tries to make the game super fun by making it super-impossible to win, the team rebels.

Their new BB is much more fun — and she actually lets them complete their quests, which is excellent motivation to keep playing. But the Boy Wonder begins to worry that the Titans will be trapped in their imaginations forever, going on endless, easy-breezy quests, neglecting their duties in Jump City.

There might also be problems with the campaign’s most important relic, the “Anklet of Extreme Crushing (and Chafing),” which Robin has tightly clasped to his leg.

Heather Nuhfer and P.C. Morrissey team up in this fun story about game night with the Titans!
