LAST STARFIGHTER BETA #1
(W) Benjamin Raab, Deric A. Hughes (A) David Cutler (CA) David Lopez
THE BELOVED DUPLICATE GETS HIS DUE! When the Ko-Dan Armada sent an assassin to kill small-town boy Alex Rogan, it was Alex's simuloid duplicate Beta who saved the day, sacrificing himself to convince the Ko-Dan that Alex was dead. The move bought the Last Starfighter valuable time—enough to sabotage the Ko-Dan mothership and save the planet Rylos. That's been the story for forty years. Now, the original film writer Jonathan Betuel joins a star-studded creative team to reveal Beta's true fate! Beta survived the Ko-Dan assault, but he's not the only alien entity left on Earth. And with Alex far away, Beta's stranded and alone. Can an organic robot with no orders to execute find his own purpose on an alien planet? Not if the Zando-Zan have anything to say about it! A hilarious and heartwarming one-shot from writers Benjamin Raab and Deric A. Hughes (Syfy's WAREHOUSE 13, The CW's ARROW, NBC's QUANTUM LEAP & more) and artist David Cutler (Marvel's Voices, Giant-Size X-Men: Thunderbird), and a can't-miss installment in The Last Starfighter mythos!

(W) Ed Brisson (A/CA) Damian Couceiro
TERROR CAN'T BE CONTAINED! For 20 years, Jules has been hiding from her past.

When she's thrown into prison with no trial and no hope, Jules finds herself part of a dark ritual built to force her back into the past that she's spent her life trying to escape. Co-creators, writer Ed Brisson (Predator, Old Man Logan, Ghost Rider) and artist Damian Couceiro (Wolverine & Kitty Pryde, X-Force, Old Man Logan) team up once again to bring you the ultimate horror throwback.:

SATANIC PANIC #1 (OF 4)
(W) Matt Miner (A/CA) Clay McCormack
A sleepy 1980s town is stalked by a masked slasher at the height of the Satanic Panic, where every heavy metal record, Dungeons & Dragons campaign and teenage outsider is treated as evidence of devil worship. As fear spreads and bodies pile up, three local misfits become the prime suspects in a series of gruesome murders. Join D&D geeks and Ozzy enthusiasts Naz, Sal, and Terry as they race to clear their names, survive an increasingly blood-soaked town and unmask the real killer before paranoia claims more innocent lives. But in a community eager to blame the weird kids, proving their innocence may be deadlier than facing the murderer. From Ringo Award and GLAAD Media Award-winning writer Matt Miner (Poser, Young Men in Love, Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins) and artist Clayton McCormack (Batman: White Knight Presents – Generation Joker) comes a brutal new horror series that blends slasher terror and the paranoia of the Satanic Panic into one unforgettable nightmare.:

THREE BEASTS HC
(W/A/CA) Grovey Pascasio
Ten years ago, the Great Tamers saved the people of Punong Panday from a giant hydra, turning the once savage beast into a peace-keeper. Now, these three men are known across the land as legends. But for Dima, Espie, and Keris, the Great Tamers are more than legends… they're their fathers. And to become worthy successors, the young friends must each prove themselves in a physical contest against the hydra, Matutum. Dima is too meek and untalented, especially compared to the short-tempered Espie. Even their cool mentor Keris never stood a chance at winning. When their dreams become a deadly game of pride, they have to find a way out together—with their blades drawn, and their fathers' legacies burnt to ashes. Draconic action, intimately written friendships, and a lush setting all come together in The Three Beasts, from debut author-illustrator Grovey Pascasio.
