Helpless is no longer the apex predator. A new monster is running amok in the habitat, destroying everything it sees in a frenzy of instinct unbound. Meanwhile, as the most dangerous animals that have ever lived clash and vie for supremacy, a humbled and gravely injured B’Tay must finally choose between his life’s work and his children-alien and human alike. Featuring variant covers by GABRIEL RODRIGUEZ (Locke & Key) and JAMES STOKOE (ORC STAIN).

The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country – The Glass House
#1A
Reiko Murakami Regular
Release: Apr 11, 2023
The Corinthian has been turned loose on our realm once more, and this time he sets his sights on the very root of rapacious American capitalism–Silicon Valley. His relentless pursuit of the Smiling Man will carve a bloody path from the C-suite of Prophet Capital to the bowels of a demonic nightclub, and no one will be safe from his reach. Not Ken, living large in the Bay Area since parting ways with Barbie all those years ago. Not Max, a nervous hedge fund manager on the rise who’s never quite fit anywhere. Not anyone. Multiple Eisner Award-winning writer James Tynion IV reunites with superstar horror artist Lisandro Estherren to bring you the nightmare-fueled follow-up you’ve been craving, a tale that will plumb the bottomless depths of our yearning for more at the heart of the American dream.

Vanish TP
#1
Release: Apr 12, 2023
Oliver Harrison was a mythical hero who slayed the greatest threat to his realm before even hitting puberty. But that was then. As an adult, Oliver leads an average cookie-cutter suburban life-aside from the fact that he’s mentally unstable, massively paranoid, smokes like a chimney, and gets blackout drunk every night to hide from his horrific nightmares. Will the arrival of a superhero team called the Prestige prove the madness isn’t all in Oliver’s head? And what about all the epic fantasy crap from his childhood? Join us for a brutal as hell tale of magical worlds, gifted youth, evil sorcerers, superheroes, war, blood, guts, and death that punches you right in the face! From DONNY CATES (CROSSOVER, GOD COUNTRY, King In Black, Venom), RYAN STEGMAN (Venom, King In Black), JP MAYER (Absolute Carnage, Fantastic Four), SONIA OBACK (Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows, Han Solo), and JOHN J. HILL (CROSSOVER, Harley Quinn), the all-star creative team that brought you Venom, comes an all-new take on the classic hero’s quest! Collects VANISH #1-4
