It’s the late 14th Century, and a Great Pestilence—the “Black Death”— is sweeping across Europe, killing over 100 million people. BUT, what if history as we know it was a lie? What if, in reality, this was no straightforward plague, but the FIRST non-recorded Zombie Infestation of man?

Two Words: Tradd Moore - Preview Venom #150
By Dustin Cabeal
It might just be a page, but fucking hell is it a good looking page. I would read all kinds of Venom with Tradd Moore on the series. Too bad there wouldn't be a story worthy of his talent, but we'll see what Costa's got. Also remember when Brook had cancer and the symbiote could only do one more bond and Spider-Man tricked it into bonding with Brock and sentenced both of them to death? Yeah, me neither I guess.

Preview: Freeway Fighter #1... and A Trailer
Spinning out of the legendary Fighting Fantasy series of gamebooks created by Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson in 1982, the post-apocalyptic Freeway Fighter distinguished itself by deviating from the usual mix of orcs, goblins and cave-trolls. Celebrating 35 years in 2017, Fighting Fantasy brought together choice driven storytelling with a dice-based role-playing system to create a world in which "YOU are the hero!” The series sold over 18 million copies worldwide and is translated in over 30 languages.
Marvel's Got A New Man-Thing To Look At... R.L. Stine Involved Too
I just want it noted that's not my headline. I wouldn't want you to look at a new man-thing, the current one you have or see is fine by me. Okay, it is my headline, but someone had to seriously think of a non-twelve-year-old way to write about "Man-Thing" and send that on a press release. Man-Thing, a character whose name only gets funnier with age... he's like a fine wine. Also, I don't care about this comic or that Marvel/the comic industry went out and got another novelist to write comics.
New AfterShock Series From Cates and Brown - "Baby Teeth"
I'm not going to lie... that's a weird title. It's also by Donny Cates who's writing I enjoy. Garry Brown's never done me wrong either so this definitely seems like something I'll check out. I'm not a big Buffy fan though so that raises my eyebrow a little. We'll see.

Titan Comics is pleased to share with you the covers and an extended art preview from ANNO DRACULA #1 - an all-new comic mini-series based on the best-selling ANNO DRACULA novels, written by creator Kim Newman with art by Paul McCaffrey (The Third Doctor).
Preview: America #1... Mostly Variant Covers Preview
By Dustin Cabeal
If you're wondering why Marvel has 40% of the market, look no further than their variant cover game. They copied the page from IDW's manual. Anyway, I don't mind this. I'll give it an issue which is all I give Marvel Comics, one issue to impress. I don't read for the trade, sorry.

Preview: Action Lab's Brigands #4
By Dustin Cabeal
I read the first issue of this series and it wasn't bad. If I wasn't reading a couple dozen books each week I might have kept up with it, but as it is I'll likely just sit down with issues 2-4 and reading them altogether. Speaking of issue 4, we have an exclusive preview below for you to check out!
Preview: The Wild Storm #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Well... I just shit my pants a little. I know everyone and their mother had this yesterday and probably bored you with a regurgitation of Warren Ellis' newsletter. I'm not a news site. Not going to pretend I'm breaking this to you. I just post stuff I enjoy or when I have a comment on something. Here's my comment for this... god damn beautiful. I hope the story is good. It's Ellis. It's WildStorm... it should be good. I actually found an old WildStorm button I had gotten at SDCC... it made me sad that there's not more of it around. Still, can't wait until February 15th for this. Oh and I don't actually care about the variants, but I will likely pick this up in print.
