SAVING CANADA… FROM THE MUTANT MENACE?! GUARDIAN, PUCK, SNOWBIRD and SHAMAN return, as a terrestrial ALPHA FLIGHT bursts onto the scene!

DARK SPACES HOLLYWOOD SPECIAL #1 (MR)

All aboard THE HOLLYWOOD SPECIAL, the 1942 luxury train touring the United States to support the war effort. On board is fading star Vivian Drake, doing her part to boost morale and finally give the tabloids something other than her nose-diving career and shambles of a family life to write about. But when the Special pulls into the coal-mining town of Minersville, PA, amid the collapse of a mine, Vivian finds herself facing every failure and bad memory she’s bottled up in the form of what the miners found in the dark-the thing they call the Mismatch Man, who feeds on pain and regret. And Vivian’s got both in spades.Writer Jeremy Lambert (Doom Patrol, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), artist Claire Roe (Bury the Lede, Batgirl and the Birds of Prey), and colorist Jordie Bellaire (Detective Comics, Hellblazer) bring you an all-new entry into Scott Snyder’s Dark Spaces line of white-knuckle thrillers, a character-driven tale of memories, mines, and the things we do our damndest to sweep under the rug.

, critic Greg Hunter (The Comics Journal) follows the through-line across this adventurous body of work.

THE CULL #1 (OF 5)

Eisner-winning writer KELLY THOMPSON (BLACK CLOAK) and superstar artist MATTIA DE IULIS (Captain America) team up for their first creator-owned work together!
Something is Killing the Children horror vibes mix with The Goonies-style adventure as five friends set off to shoot a short film on a forbidden rock near their home the summer before they all go their separate ways. But that’s not really why they’re there. One of them has lied. And that lie will change their lives forever.
