Black Cat #1 (OCT200521)
The cat in black is back!
Feeling lucky? Knull's attack on Earth interrupts the Black Cat's latest heist, and if you know Felicia, you know that's a problem.
So the Cat and her crew aim to steal something of greatest value to both Knull and Earth's hope of survival. You'll have to pick up this issue to find out what! This issue guest-stars the X-Men! Captain America! And Doctor Strange! You won't want to miss it!
Post Americana #1 (of 6) (OCT200014)
From Maestros creator, We Stand on Guard co-creator, and The Matrix storyboard artist Steve Skroce with coloring by Eisner Award-winning Dave Stewart comes a visonary new series set in the post apocalypse.
The Cheyanne mountain installation, aka The BUBBLE, is the most sophisticated super bunker in the world. It was built to ensure the survival of America's executive branch of government and its most important citizens, should the unthinkable happen. When the world ended, the executive branch failed to reach the sanctuary, but the elite citizenry did.
Eighty years later, one of their own has named himself the new President of the United States. His plan? Subjugate the survivors of the American Wasteland using the same bunker resources meant to rebuild it. The only thing standing in their way is a deadly Wasteland girl, hellbent on revenge!
Reckless Vol. 1 HC (OCT200009)
Sex, drugs, and murder in 1980s Los Angeles... and the best new twist on paperback pulp heroes since The Punisher or Jack Reacher.
Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, the modern masters of crime noir, bring us the last thing anyone expected from them - a good guy. In a bold new series of original graphic novels, with three books releasing over the next year, each a full-length story that stands on its own.
Meet Ethan Reckless: Your trouble is his business, for the right price. But when a fugitive from his student radical days reaches out for help, Ethan must face the only thing he fears... his own past.
"Imagine Redford at his peak, ambling through sun-drenched, eighties L.A. in a serpentine plot that is equal parts Long Goodbye and Point Break. No one does crime fic like Brubaker and Phillips and their collaboration has never felt more new. Explosive. Vital. And yes... reckless. I love this book." - Damon Lindelof (Lost, HBO's Watchmen)
"Reckless is an absolute rush: on the same level as golden age Travis McGee novels and the hardest-hitting Richard Stark stories. This one comes at you as fast as Steve McQueen in a souped-up Mustang and as hard as Charles Bronson with a baseball bat. You gotta have it." - Joe Hill (Locke & Key, N0S4A2)
Keep an eye out for book two in the Reckless series in April 2021.
The Expanse #1 (of 4) (OCT200906)
BOOM! Studios introduces a new limited series event set between Season 4 and Season 5 of Amazon's hit TV series The Expanse from Corinna Bechko (Green Lantern: Earth One) and Alejandro Aragon (Resonant).
This series sees Chrisjen Avasarala, the former longtime Secretary-General of the United Nations, relegated to Luna after losing the latest elections...and she doesn't plan on going down without a fight.
So when Bobbie Draper - a former Martian marine - brings her intel on an intergalactic black market weapons ring, Avasarala sees a chance to reclaim her former political position of power through a clandestine operation.
But as Draper digs deeper into this secret cabal, she soon realizes the threat they pose is far larger - and closer to home - than either of them ever imagined.
Blade Runner 2029 #1 (OCT201583)
The first comic to tell original, in-canon stories set in the Blade Runner universe returns!
It is 2029 and Blade Runner Ash continues to hunt the streets of the rain-soaked dystopian world of Los Angeles for renegade Replicants, but this time she's trying to protect as many as she can find.
Written by Academy award-nominated screenwriter Michael Green (Blade Runner 2049) and co-writer Mike Johnson (Supergirl)!
