Here at PREVIEWSworld.com, we love it when an online original finally comes to print. Why? Because we get to re-experience them in a new format that we can display proudly on our shelves. And that’s exactly what we have here: 5 titles that have been liberated from their digital overlords and are coming to print!

Here are 5 webcomics coming to real life.

Homestuck

In 2009, comic creator Andrew Hussie kicked off a collection of webcomics titled MS Paint Adventures. Within that collection was Homestuck (FEB181931), a comedy-adventure series about what happens when beating a video game could actually save the world. Homestuck concluded it's epic journey in 2016, and now Viz Media will be collecting Hussie's cult hit to completion for the first time!

Fashion in Action

Along with Jordache jeans and parachute pants, Eclipse Comics’ Fashion in Action was long believed to be lost in the mist of the 1980s. However, fashion can be timeless, and thanks to a restoration effort spearheaded by Editor Hope Nicholson (Secret Loves of Geek Girls), Fashion in Action (FEB181731) lives again!

Created by John K. Snyder III, this all-female action romp stars “the world’s highest priced and best-dressed celebrity protection agency” as they attempt to thwart an evil plot to ruin 2086’s biggest celebrity wedding!

Daygloayhole

Writer/artist Ben Passmore (Your Black Friend and Other Strangers) takes readers down a Daygloayhole (FEB181778) inside this month’s PREVIEWS. Find out what porn addicts get up to during the apocalypse in “vibrant fluorescent colors”.

Sounds uncomfortable? You dang right it is! The apocalypse isn’t meant to be a joy ride! Especially when your porn is sentient, the police are mutants, the deserts are irradiated, and you have nothing to do but wallow in your own pre-apocalypse failures!
