In the New York Times bestselling hit series The End League, the world didn’t end with a bang, it ended with a takeover. Decades ago, the villains won. Civilization was reshaped into a brutal, broken landscape ruled by tyrants, cults, and monsters wearing familiar masks. Now the few remaining heroes—archetypes forged from the DNA of modern mythology—must attempt one final impossible mission: cross a villain dominated Earth to locate the last surviving artifact capable of turning the tide—the Hammer of Thor.
“The End League was my first superhero story and my first hit series,” said Remender. “It was also the DNA for much of my later work at Marvel. It’s the end of the modern myth: a true finale. The kind of story you can’t tell in a corporate universe, because the stakes here are real and there’s no reset waiting around the corner. It’s a world where the rotten outnumber and overwhelm the noble, leaving a small band of heroes with one last shot to try and prove that a few people with good intentions can still stand against a world of corruption.”
At its core, The End League is an examination of what super-humans would really mean for an ordinary planet: the catastrophic consequences of even the smallest mistake by an all-powerful being, and the ugly reality of what average people might do once handed impossible power. Essential reading for fans of Remender’s Uncanny X-Force.
The End League Complete Collection trade paperback (ISBN: 9781534334755) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, and at independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, April 7, 2026.
The End League will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.]]>
In Feral #21, Moosh the Rottweiler has vanished… and only one cat has the claws, cunning, and nine-lived determination to track him down. As the enigmatic Ghost slinks through the shadows on the hunt for his missing friend, he uncovers a secret so big it’ll reshape the world of Feral fur-ever. Readers won’t want to miss this whisker-twitching thriller told entirely from the POV of everyone’s favorite hearing-impaired battle cat. Plus, a last page shocker that will make Stray Dogs fans howl with delight.
"One of my favorite things about Feral is that, out of all the books I work on, this is the one that feels the most purely comics," said Fleecs. "Even though it's about cats in a rabies apocalypse and not musclebound heroes... Because this book is an ongoing... because the readers and retailers that continue to support us, we get to do really fun comic book stuff sometimes like this: A completely silent 21st issue (like God and Larry Hama intended) that sets the stage for a brand new arc and has a surprise last page that is guaranteed to have people freaking out... We're doing big, exciting things this arc. You don't want to miss it!"
Forstner added: "This book continues to amaze me, not only to make but to read. So much has happened over 20 issues and we are going to be doing more amazing things in this new arc! I am excited and thrilled as an artist and reader of this series to get to bring this story to life! We tested the waters on a mostly silent issue at #6 but now we will take it to a new level with Ghost, who actually can't hear and see how he navigates this terrifying world. It will be a thing of beauty!"

On Tigress Island, a crew of washed-up starlets finds themselves snatched, shackled, and shipped to a jungle hellhole ruled by a vicious, velvet-gloved she-devil of a warden. The only shot at freedom? Band together, break their chains, and outrun betrayal lurking around every corner.
This all new story promises readers a sweat-soaked cocktail of action and attitude, dripping with danger, double-crosses, and explosive payback.
"This one is for every reader who isn't getting enough flavor in their weekly comics haul," said Kindlon. "From concept to characters to execution, Tigress Island is unapologetic fun. High craft. Lowbrow. Awesome."
EPHK added: "We set out to capture the soul of 80s and 90s sexploitation “straight-to-video” movie classics and somehow ended up with so much more. No one is ready for this!"

Select praise for Youngblood:
"Comics as a whole are better off when there's a Rob Liefeld Youngblood comic on the stands. Rob always brings the fast-paced high octane action spectacle you're looking for but I love that there's always some kind of new idea or innovation present in everything he does. If this series isn't on your pull list, you must like dull comics so I can't help you. Why are you reading this?" —Robert Kirkman, Invincible, The Walking Dead
“Rob’s Youngblood is back where it belongs in every conceivable way, including the top of my reading pile. BADROCK FOR LIFE.” —Geoff Johns, Geiger, Doomsday Clock
“Wall-to-wall Youngblood action!! This isn’t nostalgia, it’s not a remake or a ’90s throwback—this is one of comics’ all time most explosive talents, showing the rest of us what pure adrenaline looks like on the page. In case you forgot.” —Tony Fleecs, Local Man, Stray Dogs, Feral
PORTLAND, Ore. 12/15/2025 — Brand-spanking-new 6x9 trim size paperback formats of the internationally bestselling Queer romance—Sunstone created by Stjepan Šejić (Death Vigil, Ravine, Aphrodite IX, Witchblade)—will launch in time for Valentine's Day 2026 from Image/Top Cow Productions and feature cheeky new covers by Šejić. These redesigned editions of Sunstone will begin with Volume 1 in February 2026 with the rest of the spicy series rolling out the remainder of the year.
The series will continue to be offered in standard trade paperbacks, deluxe hardcovers, and compendium editions, as well as in digital formats—providing readers with a range of options to suit every preference.
Celebrated worldwide for its humor, emotional honesty, and deeply authentic portrayal of relationships, Sunstone has evolved from a personal webcomic into a global phenomenon.
“I have been endlessly inspired by the Sunstone community, whose love, support, and engagement with the characters continue to fuel my creativity. Hearing how these stories have offered comfort or connection is one of the greatest honors of my career,” said Šejić, reflecting on the connection fans have forged with Lisa and Ally’s story. “The 6 x 9 edition feels like a natural extension of the hand while reading—perfectly suited to a story grounded in vulnerability and intimate human connection.”
Top Cow CEO and Image Comics co-founder Marc Silvestri (The Darkness, Witchblade, Cyber Force, Batman) echoed that sentiment, praising Šejić’s unique ability to combine heartfelt emotion with wit, charm, and sensuality: “Stjepan’s storytelling is extraordinary. Sunstone perfectly balances intimacy, humor, and passion—stories that hook you, resonate, and linger. Bringing this series to a sleek, collectible new format allows more readers to experience these characters and feel connected. I’m behind it 100%.”
Lisa’s tastes were always...unique. Longing to be restrained, without restraint. Lisa always felt like something was missing from her love life—until she met Ally. Ally was implacably ordinary—successful job, nice house, an average childhood—except for her preference for bedroom domination. Originally posted online as a webcomic, this book collects the first volume of the often erotic, always amusing, and surprisingly heartfelt Sunstone.
Sunstone Volume 1 (New Edition) 6 x 9 paperback (ISBN: 9781534333987, Lunar Code 1225IM0459) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, February 11 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, March 10, 2026.

Within Blood Squad Seven Yearbook’s extra-length, brain-breaking conclusion to this international—and interdimensional—storyline… secrets will be revealed! Worlds will collide! Heroes will struggle! Legends will die! And things—both past and present—will never be the same!
"Paul and I have been building up to this for the previous 13 consecutive issues, all leading to this 30-page Yearbook spectacular," said Casey. "We've put everything we have into this one and we think the results will speak for themselves. For every reader who loves their 1990s-style superheroes deconstructed and deepened in the way you've always wanted—this is the big one!"
Spinning out of 2024's Dutch mini-series, Blood Squad Seven explores ’90s superteam dynamics through a contemporary lens.
Thirty years ago, Blood Squad Seven was America’s most popular superhero team. Its members were seen on television, on magazine covers, scoring million-dollar endorsement deals…. They were celebrities and they were everywhere.
But that was then... this is now. And so, a new generation of modern-day heroes takes up the mantle—or perhaps, the poisoned chalice—fulfilling a promise made decades ago: to be the heroes that a fractured America needs.
While deconstructions of superhero nostalgia typically center around the classic characters of the Silver Age, Blood Squad Seven delves deep into ’90s comic book themes with this reimagining of what would happen if heroes from that decade returned to action after a 30-year absence.
Blood Squad Seven Yearbook #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, March 25, 2026:
- Cover A by Paul Fry
- Cover B 1:10 copy incentive by Jim Rugg
Blood Squad Seven Yearbook #1 will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
]]>Marcus Wesphal blacks out from the slightest surge of excitement—a narcoleptic curse that’s kept him quiet, calm, and locked away at home. But when he witnesses the girl next door’s murder and collapses, he wakes to find himself the prime suspect. Now Marcus has one chance to clear his name: outrun his failing body, reconstruct the moments he lost, and hunt a killer before he blacks out again… possibly for good.
"If you haven’t figured it out yet, Daniel and I are a little bit obsessed with quirky horror, AND we're both huge fans of Alfred Hitchcock," said Wagner. "We’ve been talking for years about what OUR version of his works would look like. Well, Narco is that version. It combines our weird sense of horror and humor with classics like Rear Window and Psycho."
Hillyard added: "A Hitchcockian thriller with a whodunnit story and our usual twist of the unusual. If any of that piqued your interest then Narco might just be the one for you. Grab a pop tart, pet your possum (not a euphemism) and see if you can figure out who the killer is."
Narco #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, March 4, 2026:

PORTLAND, Ore. 12/11/2025 — Critically-acclaimed cartoonist Katia Vecchio (Silver Vessels, Painted) will make her Image Comics debut with the forthcoming original graphic novel, Memories of Giselle. This hard-hitting coming-of-age tale is set to hit shelves in July 2026.
As the Memories of Giselle unfolds with quiet inevitability, a brother and sister move through the fragile terrain of a childhood marked by hidden abuse, silence, and loss. Giselle is pursued by the memory of her late grandmother and by a single, recurring image—an empty boat—an emblem of the truth she has spent years repressing. As adolescence draws her into the bewildering realms of desire, vulnerability, and trust, the fractured pieces of her past begin to align, revealing a story long buried and the shadow it has cast over her and her brother’s present-day lives.
Memories of Giselle is a haunting, deeply compassionate coming-of-age novel that explores the slippery nature of memory, the psychological wounds we walk with, and the fierce, quiet bravery required to reclaim a life shaped by trauma.
“Memories of Giselle is the story I needed to tell in order to give shape to experiences that often remain unspoken," said Vecchio. "My hope is that readers will find, in Giselle’s journey, the courage to look at their own pain with compassion, and to understand that acceptance begins with acknowledging what we’ve had to carry.”
Perfect for readers who enjoyed Zoe Thorogood’s It’s Lonely at the Centre of the Earth, Allie Brosh’s Solutions and Other Problems, and Kate Beaton’s Ducks.
Memories of Giselle (ISBN: 9781534330757) will be available in trade paperback at local comic book shops on Wednesday, June 17, 2026 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, July 14, 2026.
Memories of Giselle will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.

“Between season 4 of the show and the events of this Battle Beast series, 2026 is all about the Viltrumites!” exclaimed Robert Kirkman. “It’s so cool that readers are finally getting an inkling of what this series is actually about. Arc one was really just the taste of the chaos to come as we dive headfirst into how exactly Battle Beast ended up in that Viltrumite prison!”
“Did Thragg say CONQUEST at the end of issue 6?” asked Ryan Ottley. “Does that mean... this series will have... Battle Beast fighting Conquest?! Could it be?! Well, that’s just too much excitement to contain in one press release! All that and a Todd McFarlane cover on this issue?! Bless my biscuits!”
Even in a universe of mighty Viltrumites like Invincible and Omni-Man, it seems that no one may be able to stop the galaxy’s deadliest warrior...unless he does the unthinkable. A new story arc begins as Battle Beast continues his quest to find the one being who can defeat him in battle and end his life.

PORTLAND, Ore. 12/02/2025 — Tyler Kirkham’s Final Boss didn’t just hit the shelves, it landed a clean shot to the jaw and knocked out the last of the inventory at the distributor level. Reorders are hammering like body shots, prompting Image to rush the debut back to print this week to keep the series in the ring.
The second printing will feature artwork by Ryan Ottley of Invincible fame.
"The overwhelming response to Final Boss—and the news that issues are flying off the shelves—has been both humbling and absolutely thrilling," said Kirkham. "That first issue gets its hooks in you and leaves you craving more immediately. The online consensus matches the hype: it leaves you saying, 'Holy s***!'"
Final Boss drops readers into a no-holds-barred, turbo-charged thrill ride—a love letter to classic beat-’em-ups and over-the-top action epics. Tommy Brazen, ex-street brawler turned powered-up merc, is trying to forge his own path. But when he starts unlocking pieces of his hidden past, he realizes the real endgame is far more complex than he ever imagined.

Early praise for Final Boss:
"Every page of Final Boss hits like a fist to the face, but like Tommy Brazen, you can't help but keep coming back for more, more, more—because this is an adrenaline-fueled, blood-splattered joy of a story. Come for the epic brawls, stay for the eon-spanning mystery and the soulful journey of a man trying to find himself." —Benjamin Percy, Wolverine, Punisher
"Enforcers, gods, super powers and a tournament fighting RPG format that has my mind racing with possibilities. Final Boss is a boss." —Kyle Higgins, Radiant Black, Ultraman
"Final Boss reminds me of my youth, the fighting games I used to play and how I searched for my missing dad and found supernatural powers from a necklace my grandpa got from finding an ancient magical city in WW2. Good times!" —Ryan Ottley, Invincible, Hulk
"DON'T MISS THIS intense, action-packed blockbuster video game meets action adventure by the amazing (Tyler Kirkham)! If you like big crazy fun, THIS IS IT!" —Tony Daniel, Batman, Deathstroke
"A retro-fueled, over-the-top extravaganza of muscle-bound mayhem, blood and beatdowns. Kickass fun, with '80s-style action mixed with no holds barred ringside brawlin' and brutality." —John Layman, Chew
"Do you remember when comics were completely HARDCORE?! Tyler Kirkham sure fucking does! Final Boss is a hyper violent, blood-stained throwback to the testosterone soaked Image Comics of the '90s. Fans of ass-whooping, battle damaged macho comics—this is your FINAL warning: Final Boss is about to beat the crap outta everyone." —Tony Fleecs, Stray Dogs, Feral, Local Man
"Final Boss fires on all cylinders. Art, story, and a memorable character that I want to see more of." —Gem Mint
"Final Boss is a high octane, action-packed '90s nostalgia book everyone must have: All gas, no brakes." —Tim Manalo, Uncensored Nerds Network

It's the season for giving. Hence, it s also the season for buying comics which are similarly seasonal. Startling Tales Of Santa #1 is Benito Cereno (Hector Plasm, Blood & Thunder) and his artist chums finding six ways to show how WEIRD St. Nick stuff is. There’s a mixture of humanity and folklore so berserk that I’m not sure whether Benito is making it up or not. Plus Santa kicking Lovecraftian ass. The star has to be the boy who poops seasonal treats when he’s beaten with sticks. Wow.
Dread the Halls 2025 #1 takes a similar large-anthology approach to Startling Tales, but digs in a different direction from the Santa-focus. Specifically, towards the graveyard, and when it s there, it keeps on digging until it has enough corpses for its evil purposes. Chris Ryall (Onyx) and Jordan Hart (The Cabinet) write four stories with distinctly different vibes. Seeing Luana Vecchio (Lovesick) illustrate a Hallmark-movie take on Midsommar was a special Christmas treat.
This may not be Christmas-y, but it sure is special. Giant Size Criminal #1 is a surprise direction for Sean and Ed, where Tracy Lawless panics when a skyscraper-sized pickpocket moves into the city. No, of course not. This is Criminal, one of the best comics of the last 20 years, and if you’ve been intrigued by the forthcoming Amazon series, this is designed to be your entry point to the original. I love it so much I even designed a small RPG for it. I don’t even know if I’m being paid.
But it s not just larger-than-usual specials this month – we have a similarly hefty 40 pages of Inferno Girl Red: Book Two, which continues to expand the Massive-Verse with Mat Groom (Spider-Verse vs Venomverse) and Erica D’Urso (Immortal Legend Batman) serving up looks and magical-superhero teen energy. It s my first time with Inferno Girl, and I could feel the Buffy-goes.high-tech-Henshin energy seething off it and the power of Friends To Lovers or Maybe The Other Way Around is strong.
Finally, Wrestle Heist has Kyle Starks (Peacemaker Tries Hard, Sexcastle, I Hate This Place) returning to writing and drawing, which is just a delight. I’m not a wrestling person (except for being told I look a bit like Claudio Castagnoli, presumably after a wasting disease) but I have a real weakness for all things ring-drama. And in this case, crime-drama, too, as a nice-guy-playing-heel decides he’s had enough and is going home with the big prize. Not Christmas-y at all, but a gift.

PORTLAND, Ore. 12/01/2025 — The debut issue of hot new series Escape—by Uncanny Avengers duo Rick Remender (Deadly Class, The Seasons) and Daniel Acuña (Captain America, Black Panther)—has sold out yet again at the distributor level. Escape #1 is being rushed back to print this week by Image Comics in order to keep up with reorder activity.
"Our deepest gratitude goes out to the fans for the incredible reception of Escape," said Remender. "This series was a big creative risk for us, and seeing it pay off in the current climate feels extra rewarding."
Set in a brutal, fully painted world of anthropomorphic animals—think Inglourious Basterds meets Blacksad—Escape is a gritty, bullet-riddled journey through war’s scorched aftermath. It’s about the violence we inflict, the souls we try to save, and the courage it takes to crawl out of fire.
Escape follows Milton Shaw, a battle-hardened bomber pilot flying missions over a war-torn world ruled by a ruthless empire. But when his plane is shot out of the sky, Milton wakes up behind enemy lines—in the smoldering ruins of a city he helped burn. And in less than 24 hours, his own side is dropping the big one to finish the job.
Now injured, unarmed, and being hunted through enemy streets, Milton’s only shot at escape comes from the unlikeliest place: a grieving father and his son—civilians shattered by the same fascist regime that rules this land with an iron claw. Enemies by blood. Allies by circumstance. Together, they’ll have to fight their way out before the bomb drops and erases everything…and everyone.
Escape #1, fourth printing (Lunar Code 1025IM8147), Escape #5 Cover A by Acuña (Lunar Code 1025IM0326), and Escape #5 Cover B 1:15 copy incentive by Tradd Moore (Lunar Code 1025IM0327) will all be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, December 31.
Escape #2, second printing (Lunar Code 0925IM8333) and Escape #3, second printing (Lunar Code 0925IM8334) will both be available now at comic book shops tomorrow.
Escape #4 Cover A by Acuña (Lunar Code 0925IM0317) and Escape #4 Cover B 1:15 copy incentive by Ryan Sook (Lunar Code 0925IM0318) are available now at comic book shops.
Escape is also available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.

"Gripping." —Graphic Policy
"A powerful start to what promises to be an epic series. Writer Rick Remender tackles the brutal realities of war, focusing on themes of sacrifice and loyalty with a raw honesty.
