"Aaron Kuder and I are using the Godzilla from Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, one of the most brutal and powerful versions of the King of the Monsters, so expect a colossal battle that I think will rival some of the most epic, cosmic throwdowns I've ever written with the God of Thunder."

BENJAMIN #1 CVR A WARD
(W) Ben H. Winters (A) Leomacs (CA) Christian Ward
IN ONE L.A. MOTEL ROOM, A COSMIC QUEST IS ABOUT BEGIN. . . . Edgar Award nominee and Philip K. Dick Award winner Ben H. Winters (EC s Cruel Universe, The Last Policeman Trilogy) and rising star Leomacs (EC s Epitaphs from the Abyss, Refrigerator Full of Heads) unravel a three-part, prestige format series exploring the hallucinatory second life of a brilliant author who imagined our desperate future but never imagined he d become part of it . . .
More than just a writer, more than just a science-fiction icon, Benjamin J. Carp was a cultural revolutionary. Across 44 novels and hundreds of short stories including the counterculture classic The Man They Couldn t Erase Carp pushed the boundaries of literary respectability for the sci-fi genre and his readers perception of reality itself . . . until decades of amphetamine abuse and Southern California excess finally ended a mind-bending career that always just escaped mainstream success. He died in 1982.
Until 2025 . . . when Benjamin J. Carp awakens, alive, in a burned-out motel on the fringes of Los Angeles. He remembers dying. He knows he shouldn t exist. Is he a dream? A robot? A ghost? A clone? A simulation? In his own time, Carp pondered all of these scenarios intensely through his fiction and, now, as he treks from Studio City to Venice Beach and onward into the paranoid sprawl of 21st-century Los Angeles, he will be called to investigate his greatest mystery yet: himself.
In the tradition of Philip K. Dick s A Scanner Darkly and Thomas Pynchon s Inherent Vice comes a uniquely fascinating and hilariously deranged excursion into the metatextual nexus where existence and oblivion, past and future, genius and madness, and glitter and grim reality all meet just beyond Hollywood Boulevard . . .

THEY CHOOSE VIOLENCE #1 (OF 5) CVR A RAHZZAH (MR)
(W) Sheldon Allen (A) Mauricio Campetella (CA) Rahzzah
Laneka, Deidre and Karen, three HBCU besties turned professional career women, enraged by the systemic injustice plaguing their community, band together to form a vigilante squad that targets White Supremacists deemed to have circumvented the justice system and gotten away with protected murder. Serving up grisly justice in increasingly creative ways, the vigilante posse becomes front-page news while always staying one step ahead of the law. It's liberating, it's addictive and it's kinda fun - until a copycat killer emerges whose signature contains a special message to them. "They Choose Violence" asks what happens when you go down the dark, unforgiving road of revenge? What happens when the only path forward is escalation? There's no turning back now - for anyone.

WHITE HOUSE ROBOT ROMANCE #1 CVR A STOTT
(W) Chip Zdarsky (A/CA) Rachael Stott
NEW SERIES DEBUT FROM DSTLRY! Join Chip Zdarsky (TIME WAITS, Batman, Daredevil) and Rachael Stott (Doctor Who, Star Trek) for a sweeping adventure about two robots who defy their programming by going on the run to protect their new-found love!
Service-1 and Chef-9 dutifully perform their assigned functions at the White House. Their roles bring them into daily contact, but familiarity means little to robotic programming, until Chef-9 learns that Service-1 is set to be decommissioned. Chef-9 starts to wonder if their feelings could be something more?
This awakening couldn t come at a worse time, as the White House is preparing for conflict with their neighbors to the North. As rumors of violence from Canada begin to threaten the President s invasion plans, the biggest threat might be closer than they realized: a rogue robot with a head full of state secrets.
Every issue from DSTLRY is presented in our perfect bound Prestige format, featuring wraparound covers with spot gloss on robust cover stock, complemented by 48 pages of exquisite interior stock. It s the DSTLRY difference.
For fans of BLADE RUNNER, THE ISLAND, and WE STAND ON GUARD. (STL369445)
