THEY'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS Starting Next Week, You’ve Got a Date with Destiny! What If the dead could come back for just one night, would we want them to? Meet the Haskins, a seemingly normal suburban family, as they prepare for the annual macabre holiday known as “Dead Day” – when the deceased rise from the grave from sunset to sunrise. Some come back to reunite with family and friends, others for one last night of debauchery, still others with only one thing on their decomposing mind: revenge. From writer Ryan Parrott (OBERON, VOLITION, Power Rangers) and artist Evgeniy Bornyakov (DESCENDENT, YOU ARE OBSOLETE), with colors by JUANCHO! and letters by Charles Pritchett, comes an unnerving tale of existential horror with grave consequences. FIRST ISSUE ADDITIONAL CONTENT: Illustrated 4-Page “Guide to Understanding and Staying Safe During the Return of a Loved One” issued by the Bureau of Post-Life Affairs. Prepare / Enjoy / Survive. "...about as strong a debut as you can ask for." – Comics Bookcase

DISASTER INC. #1 Writer: Joe Harris Artist: Sebastián Piriz In 2011, the worst earthquake in Japan’s history breached the costal Fukushima Daiichi power plant. The event forced officials to set up an “Exclusion Zone,” effectively sealing off the land for what may well be the rest of human history. But that’s only if you don’t have the right connections. Enter DISASTER INC., an underground tourism outfit intent on helping people of means, secrets and agendas explore the dark corners and off-map attractions typical tour groups won't go to (and various laws don’t allow). Only Fukushima, known for its famed warrior class and their protection of the land and people dating back to ancient times, is full of deadly surprises and old ghosts.
