Protector #1 (NOV190012)
Series Premiere!
From Simon Roy (Prophet), Sideways Award-winning author Daniel M. Bensen (Junction), Artyom Trakhanov (Undertow), Jason Wordie (God Country), and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou (Red Sonja) comes a sci-fi adventure equal parts Conan the Barbarian, Mad Max, and The Expanse.
Of all the tribes that dwell in the hot ruins of far-future North America, the Hudsoni reign supreme, but even they fear and obey the godlike Devas. When the Devas warn of an old-world demon in the conquered city of Shikka-Go, Hudsoni war chief First Knife decides to deal with the threat personally.
Frankenstein Undone #1 (NOV190181)
Frankenstein's creator lies dead in the icy grip of the Arctic, and the monster searches for a new purpose. Just as he thinks he's found one with a group of unlikely companions, disaster strikes-and the monster is catapulted out of Mary Shelley's novel and into the world of Hellboy.
Bridging Mary Shelley's original Frankenstein novella and Mike Mignola's Frankenstein Underground, this series brings together Mignola, Scott Allie, Ben Stenbeck, Brennan Wagner, and Clem Robins for an all-new horror adventure in the far north.
Avengers of the Wastelands #1 (NOV190845)
A new story from the world of Old Man Logan!
In a world where most of the super heroes fell at the hands of the Red Skull over fifty years ago, a new force rises in the Wastelands! Dani Cage wields the mighty Mjolnir for the cause of peace, but when the brutal regime of Doctor Doom forces Dwight (a.k.a. the owner of the surviving Ant-Man technology) to Dani and Hulk in a last ditch effort to survive, the Avengers may Assemble once more!
Spinning out of the saga begun in Old Man Logan, and following up Old Man Quill and Dead Man Logan, this is the can't miss premiere of Ed Brisson and Jonas Scharf's magnum opus!
George R.R. Martin's A Clash of Kings #1 (NOV191031)
George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire saga continues in the official comic book adaptation by Dynamite Entertainment!
Following the events of A Game of Thrones, Westeros is embroiled in civil war, while Daenerys Targaryen -- as heir to the Targaryen dynasty, seeks to reclaim the Iron Throne. Arya, with the help of Yoren, a brother of the Night's Watch, has escaped from King's Landing, but the road to the Wall brings its own dangers. Meanwhile, Sansa attends a tournament on the sadistic King Joffrey's name-day, and Bran, in Winterfell, suffers from strange dreams of wolves.
Quantum & Woody (2020) #1 (NOV191965)
Supervillains and mad scientists are on the loose and only the world's worst superhero duo can save us in an all-new Quantum & Woody series!
Superstar scribe Christopher Hastings (The Unbelievable Gwenpool) and astonishing artist Ryan Browne (Curse Words) present Quantum & Woody #1, a new side-splitting superhero adventure!
Christopher teased some of the wackiness that awaits readers: "They hunt a serial kidnapper, they clash with a brain monster, they stop government assassinations, they go undercover at a haunted high school, they take on a new mentor, and perhaps most excitingly... they get some new powers."
