S.W.O.R.D #1 (OCT200553)
The Mutant nation of Krakoa has quickly become a major force on the world stage... but why stop there? Krakoa has relaunched the Sentient World Observation & Response Directorate - a fully independent organization dealing with all things extra-terrestrial on behalf of all of Earth.
Al Ewing and Valerio Schitti, the team behind EMPYRE, bring us the tale of Mutantkind looking to do for the galaxy what Krakoa did for the planet.
Home Sick Pilots #1 (OCT200017)
The team behind Limbo, Dan Watters (Lucifer, Coffin Bound) and Caspar Wijngaard (Star Wars, Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt), launch a brand-new ongoing series.
In the summer of 1994, a haunted house walks across California. Inside is Ami, lead singer of a high school punk band-who's been missing for weeks. How did she get there, and what do these ghosts want? Expect three-chord songs and big bloody action that's Power Rangers meets The Shining (yes, really).
Locke & Key Sandman Hell & Gone #0 (AUG200567)
If you think you can unlock the gates of Hell and just invite yourself in, you must be Dreaming! The Sandman Universe crossover begins here, with this specially priced re-introduction of the storylines and characters who populate next month's landmark event series.
First, in the Eisner-winning Locke & Key tale, "Open the Moon," meet Chamberlin Locke, patriarch of the Locke family, whose Moon Key began to unlock the events of this event series.
Next, journey with the Lord of Dreams to Lucifer's domain in the chapter of Sandman's epic "Season of Mists" storyline that sees the Key to Hell change hands in a most momentous way.
And join IDW and DC Comics next month for Locke & Key: Hell & Gone #1 (SEP200426) by L&K co-creators Hill and Rodriguez!
Vampirella Dark Powers #1 (OCT200728)
The cosmic saga begins here! Welcome to The Project, an interdimensional collective of superheroes, tasked with recruiting members from across infinite worlds. And their newest recruit is...Vampirella!?
Superstar writer Dan Abnett and artist Paul Davidson bring you the first chapter in an epic tale that will affect thousands of planets, billions of lives, and will answer the question: "What happens when you ask a vampire to save the universe?"
Byte Sized #1 (OCT201240)
When two young siblings excitedly unwrap their final Christmas presents, they discover toy robots unlike anything they have ever seen. And with good reason.
What the kids and their parents don't know is that their quaint suburban home just became the beachhead for these self-aware 'bots that have begun to explore the outside world. And when one of the 'bots breaks bad, it's going to take a Christmas miracle to stop him.
