Blue Blazes, it’s New comic book day!
Absolute Batman #15 Alfred reveals to Bruce the story of the man he’s been chasing for years. Enter: Joker! Scott Snyder and Jock reunite for an epic tale in the Absolute Universe!
Miss Truesdale and the Rise of Man #1 The gladiator Anum Yassa wanders the forest to learn about her lives — past, present, and future. But she isn’t a hero to all, as one darker entity will hunt her until she can be stopped — and the fate of man stopped with her. Written by Mike Mignola, art by Jesse Lonergan.
As if the holidays weren’t horrorific enough?! Shiver SuspenStories #1. In this year’s giant-sized, 56-page tome of gruesomely gift-wrapped delights: We’re tying perpetual naught-listers David M. Booher (Canto), Melissa Flores (Biker Mice from Mars), George Northy (Yuletide), and Ben H. Winters (Benjamin) to the dried-out Christmas tree in the family parlor . . . and gathering ’round as artistic Tormentors-in-training Sami Kivelä (Abbott), Dan McDaid (Shazam!), and more surprise guests throw a few lit matches their way to get this old-fashioned solstice sacrifice started in style!
Yes, we know: It smells like dinner might be getting a little overdone! Never fear, because EC’s newest annual tradition also comes complete with an extra-added EC Comics classic—newly restored back to its authentic original coloring!
As you sift through the charred remains, just remember: Shiver SuspenStories is here to bring the horror back to the holidays . . . and we wouldn’t want it any other way!
Happy Reading!
