SPIDER-WOMAN #1

SPIDER-WOMAN IS BACK, AND PULLING NO PUNCHES!

Jessica Drew hasn't been feeling like herself lately (she's not a Skrull, we promise).

When the angry, irritable, and unwell Spider-Woman takes a simple security gig to help get back on her feet, she finds herself besieged by unknown forces out to destroy everything around her. What's wrong with Jessica? Just how DID she get this job? And who are these violent lunatics who keep trying to blow her up? WHO CARES? Does Spider-Woman have someone to punch? THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.

An explosive new series that pushes Spider-Woman into new heights of action and adventure from the mad minds of Karla Pacheco and Pere Pérez, this is the Spider-Woman book you've been waiting for!

Michael Straczynski, creator of Babylon 5 and writer of beloved runs on The Amazing Spider-Man, Thor and Superman: Earth One, returns to comics teaming with Mike Deodato Jr., the blockbuster artist of The Amazing Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk and Infinity Wars.

HOTELL #1 (OF 4)

You won't find it on any map, but if you happen to be driving down Route 66 late at night and you're truly desperate for shelter, sanctuary or secrecy, you might see a battered sign on the side of the road: The Pierrot Courts Hotel - where many check in but few check out.

RED BORDER #1 (OF 4)

A young Mexican couple narrowly escapes the Juarez Cartel by fleeing across the border into Texas, only to be run down in the desert by the Cartel's most brutal thugs.

Her name is Rosalinda Eberhardt, and she is the Dragon Whisperer.

HEXAGON #1 (OF 5)

SCREAMING HORROR #1

In the early 1990's FantaCo published two comics by Gurch Singh: Tales of Screaming Horror and Vault of Screaming Terror.

By popular demand we have contracted with The Gurch to release all the stories from Tales of Screaming Horror as the first issue in an ongoing horror comic series!

The Gurch has painstakingly re-lettered and re-mastered each page for the best possible reproduction.

He'll also be including some brand new, never-before-published illustrations done just for this issue!

These are some of the most sought-after stories that FantaCo has ever published and The Gurch is super-hot now - so don't miss out!

THOR #229 FACSIMILE EDITION

CONTINUING THE FIRST APPEARANCES OF WOLVERINE!

The mighty Thor and his staunch ally Hercules face a demonic threat like no other! As a string of strange deaths confound the police, the Asgardian and the Olympian join the investigation. The victims all referred to an enigmatic "he" with their final words - but what dread threat could they mean? As a shadowy menace presents himself, one deadly enough to devastate even the Prince of Power, the mystery only deepens - but who... or what... is he who dwells in darkness? Prepare to know terror in the haunting debut of one of the Marvel Universe's most terrifying Fear Lords!

It's one of the all-time great Marvel comic books, boldly re-presented in its original form, ads and all - including the ad that gave readers a glimpse at Wolverine before his first appearance!

"History Lessons," a 16-page story written by Phil Hester with art by Scott Koblish with Tom Grummett. When one of Raven's college professors goes missing, Nightwing is convinced the Titans should investigate. But the danger they uncover is far greater than one missing person-the fate of humanity is at stake, and only Beast Boy can save the day!

"What's "Normal'?," an 8-page story written by Marc Guggenheim with art by Steve Pugh. A charistmatic cult leader has been recruiting followers to join his "church," a highly suspicious organization locked behind the walls of a private compound.

"The Coast-to-Coast Calamities," from Teen Titans #50 (1977)
"Everything to Everyone," from Starfire #1 (2015)
