New Series This Week
30 Days of Night: Falling Son #1
IDW Publishing
Written by Rodney Barnes
Story by Steve Niles
Art by Chris Shehan & Xenon Honchar
Cover Art by Shehan
IDW’s hit horror franchise returns with a terrifying new tale! The town of Barrow has moved on. Those who remember the vampiric terror of two decades past would rather not talk about it. Those who don’t remember don’t believe the stories. Ignorance will be their downfall, because a dark memory is stirring in the heart of Romania and it has set its sights on Barrow, the death place of Vicente. While vampires seek revenge for their fallen leader in Alaska, troubled teen Jalen James seeks sanctuary. After fleeing gang violence in Los Angeles, Jalen needs a fresh start. But he’s unlikely to find it as the sun falls…
Writer Rodney Barnes (Killadelphia, Batman: Full Moon) and artist Chris Shehan (House of Slaughter, The Autumnal) welcome you back to Barrow in the oversize first issue of this revival.
Release Date: October 15, 2025

TIME TO DIE ANOTHER DAY! The ravening undead return to resume their feasting upon the living in the newest bloodcurdling chapter of Dynamite’s all-star supergroup adventures in the dystopic future!
Outside the crazily fortified gates of Sunset City, the zombie hordes search ceaselessly for their prey — and that means women, because the gender-targeting Deadman virus is strictly a boys’ club. Inside the walls, rival factions jockey for power under the iron thumb of Purgatori and her enforcers, the Furies — including Vampirella, who’s stuck on Earth under Drakulonian quarantine to keep the male plague at bay. But it turns out that Vampi’s not the only alien in the skies — and when someone from a certain red planet arrives on the scene, everyone’s plans will get scrambled like a Deadman on a busy highway!
The newly infected creative team of writer FRED VAN LENTE and artist MARCO FINNEGAN unleash all of your favorite femmes fatales in the epic sci-fi grand guignol that is Die!namite: Blood Red #1 — featuring skull-cracking covers from EJ SU, GODTAIL, DAVID COUSENS, and WILL ROBSON!

Armed with the extraordinary ability to “save” any moment in his life and then go back and relive from that point forward again, world-famous superhero SAVER can rewrite his past, altering his actions time and time again until he gets things right. But with great power, also comes great pain. Cursed with only being able to travel backwards, never forwards, he is burdened by having to spend his relived life in agonizing real time. Travel back 6 days, and he must relive those days in full, aging all the while.
After catching a glimpse at the impending apocalypse, Saver dedicates himself to averting global catastrophe, no matter the cost. But no matter how many times or how far back he goes, he can’t find a way to steer the world clear of armageddon. With no hope for the future, Saver retreats to live in the past, reliving the best year of his life in an endless self-indulgent loop. But when he learns he’s going to be a father, everything changes. He’s no longer trying to save the world. He’s fighting to save his daughter’s future.

Welcome to the small town of Christmas, Pennsylvania—the merriest place on Earth . . . or so they’d like everyone to think. When December rolls around, these folks pull out all the stops for America’s biggest, brightest holiday display . . . but not everyone in Christmas, PA, is so enthusiastic. Teens Jake, Abe, and Wyn are more interested in the dark side of the holiday that their parents like to pretend doesn’t exist . . . The ancient legends of mythic monsters and pagan pandemonium that are deeply tied to the festival’s long-forgotten origins. So when their hobby leads them to an abandoned wing of the local Christmas museum to investigate, they’ll discover an ancient relic that, when activated, will bring a furious procession of yuletide horrors long since banished from our plane—and with it, a darkness that has been waiting centuries for its chance to overtake the world!
In the tradition The Goonies, Hocus Pocus, and Goosebumps, the countdown to Christmas starts now as Yuletide presents the first three extra-sized, 40-page issues unleashing a monstrous new kind of holiday tale for readers young and old!

Messiahs, Meshugganahs, Misanthropes, and Mysteries TP
Fantagraphics Books
Written by Bob Levin
Art by Levin
Cover Art by Levin
ORIGINAL GRAPHIC NOVEL
In Messiahs, Meshugganahs, Misanthropes & Mysteries, Bob Levin, with his characteristic open-mindedness and intellectual curiosity, enters into and investigates the artistic sensibilities of cartoonists as disparate as Vaughn Bode, R. Crumb, S. Clay Wilson, Trina Robbins, Johnny Craig, Guy Colwell, Edward Gorey, Harvey Kurtzman, Frank Frazetta, Art Spiegelman, Alex Toth, and Dave Sim. For nearly four decades, Levin has been weaving strands of critical opinion, historical research, pop cultural analysis, journalism’s five Ws, biography, memoir, and the occasional tasty fiction into a never-before-seen-on-this-planet basket, which has made his writings on comics unique and indispensable. So if you want to learn what really happened to Ghastly Ingels, or The Someday Funnies, or the “Keep On Truckin’” copyright – if you dare to confront art that provoked criminal conviction and Senatorial investigation, and which led to a trashed art gallery, a vandalized museum – even a ban by the “Berkeley Barb” – this book is for you.
Release Date: October 15, 2025
PCS NOTES: We are grateful that Fantagraphics Books continues to publish books like this. We can’t wait to check it out.
