FROM THE MAKERS OF WINGSPAN: A SICK NEW GAME WHERE YOU DOMESTICATE FOXES! 🦊
Satiate your inner history nerd, all while domesticating cute canids!
“In 1958, Demitri Belyaev and Lyudmila Trut started an experiment on domestication. From a large group of foxes, the selected the ones that reacted to humans with more curiosity and less aggression. In each generation, they selected only the friendliest pups to become parents – hoping to recreate the process that originally led to domestication thousands of years ago.
In The Fox Experiment players will breed their own domesticated foxes over the course of the game. Each round represents one breeding generation, in which each player will select a pair of fox parents to breed. They will take dice according to the traits they have and roll them, attempting to make whole trait symbols to mark on their pup cards. These pups then go on to become parents in the next round! Be strategic in the foxes you choose to breed, because the right ones will help you finish studies and please your patrons to score points and win the game.”
REBELS OF THE OUTLAW WASTES: A sticker-fueled post-apocalypse TTRPG!!!
A super sick new setting for your next TTRPG session!
“Rebels of the Outlaw Wastes is a story-driven post-apocalypse roleplaying game where you play misfit outlaws fighting to overthrow the tyrannical overlords of a weird, wonderful wasteland. It uses an original rules system designed from the ground up to create exciting, over-the-top action and adventure, with the flow of the story firmly in the hands of the players. Fans of Powered By The Apocalypse or Forged in the Dark will recognize some familiar concepts, remixed for a unique player-driven experience.”
Create your own world with easy-to-use, built-in world creation tools, drawing inspiration from dystopian stories both fresh and classic. Our inspirations include Turbo Kid, Tank Girl, the Danger Days album from MCR, and KIPO and the Age of Wonderbeasts.
MACHINE VS MACHINE: IN WARHAMMER 40K COMBAT PATROL NECRONS AND PATROL ADEPTUS MECHANICUS!
Robots are at war as two distinctly steely-eyed factions whirr into the new edition of Warhammer 40,000.
“The first of our two mighty metal militants this week are the Necrons, an ancient race of cantankerous robots who long-ago traded the weakness of the flesh for mechanical immortality. What could possibly go wrong with such a bargain?
NECRONS!
Combat Patrol: Necrons
ADEPTUS MECHANICUS!
The devotees of the Machine God may have a mite more flesh than the Necrons, but these stubborn cyborgs are no less truculent. They too are receiving two Codexes – a standard edition and a Collectors’ Edition with a fancy cover, a ribbon bookmark, and red foil blocking.

BATMAN: GARGOYLE OF GOTHAM #2 CONTINUES ONE OF THE MOST HARD-HITTING BATMAN STORIES WE’VE READ IN A MINUTE!
Third Eye Faithful, we love a great stand-alone BATMAN tale, and superstar RAFAEL GRAMPA’s GARGOYLE OF GOTHAM definitely is that!
Channeling some serious old school DARK KNIGHT RETURNS energy as it brings one of the darkest takes to the DARK KNIGHT we’ve seen yet, this series is a MUST-READ!
In issue #2 of the acclaimed storyteller Rafael Grampa’s masterpiece, the skies over Gotham grow darker still.
To decide to kill your past is one thing, but actually doing it proves to be more fraught a road than Batman ever expected…especially when that very same past grows more tightly woven into his current case with every new clue he uncovers.
And the closer Batman gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes that his real enemy’s power runs much deeper than just puppeteering a few costumed criminals…to the very heart of Gotham City itself!
What’s the scoop on GARGOYLE OF GOTHAM? When you chase your own shadow…it leads you into the abyss. In a Gotham City where every day feels darker and more irredeemable than the last, Batman makes a definitive choice–to kill off the Bruce Wayne identity for good and embrace the cowl full-time. But though he knows the streets of Gotham, Batman will soon come to find that he hardly knows himself. A serial killer is on the loose, and while the murder victims seem random at first, every clue draws Batman closer to the terrifying truth–that they are all connected, not just to each other…but to him… When an all-new rogues gallery of utterly depraved villains begins to emerge from the depths of the city, Batman will have to contend with the very nature of evil–including that which lurks inside in the darkest corners of his own heart–to face what’s coming for his city.

ED BRUBAKER & SEAN PHILLIPS, THE TEAM BEHIND CRIMINAL, PULP, RECKLESS & MORE RETURN WITH A BRAND NEW SLICE OF MODERN CRIME NOIR AWESOME IN WHERE THE BODY WAS!
As huge fans of the vast library of work that Brubaker & Phillips have done over the years, whether it’s their iconic series, CRIMINAL, their supernaturally charged crime noir FATALE, or recent graphic novels like PULP, RECKLESS & more, these two are THE standard for great crime comics!
And, when we saw a new book on the way, we knew we had to shout it out!
A boarding house full of druggies. A neglected housewife. A young girl who thinks she’s a superhero. A cop who wants to be left alone. And a private detective looking for a runaway girl. These stories collide one fateful summer in WHERE THE BODY WAS, a tale of love and murder in the suburbs, told from a dozen different points of view. All the neighbors on the block have an opinion about the murder and how it happened, but which of them is telling the truth?
WHERE THE BODY WAS is a tour-de-force from grandmasters ED BRUBAKER and SEAN PHILLIPS. Starting with a map of the crime scene, this murder mystery follows the ripples of this killing as they echo through decades of love and loss and passion and violence. Like a true crime podcast crossed with a long-lost diary, WHERE THE BODY WAS is unlike anything BRUBAKER & PHILLIPS have ever done and a must-have for all their avid fans!
SURREAL HORROR MUST-READ BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES #2 ARRIVES ALONGSIDE 2ND PRINTINGS OF ISSUE #1 THIS WEEK – DON’T SLEEP ON THIS DARK BLEND OF HORROR & WINNIE THE POOH STYLE STORYTELLING!
We were BLOWN AWAY by how much we dug BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES #1 when it dropped, and are totally stoked to see a new printing of issue #1 dropping this week alongside issue #2 so we can get you guys all on board!
In issue #2, horrified to learn that she’s not the only serial killer in Woodbrook-and insulted, frankly, by the rookie’s flare for the dramatic-Samantha hits the pavement to silence the competition before they ruin her quiet, perfectly curated life. But the insufferable latte-chugging local busybody Cherry Gherkins is poisoning the town with her own theories about the murder, and things are about to get messy. Grab a cup of cocoa and curl up with the second chapter of Patrick Horvath’s twisted tale of a cozy animal community in crisis!
What’s the scoop on BENEATH THE TREES? Don’t. Murder. The locals.
This is small-town serial killer, upstanding citizen, and adorable brown bear Samantha Strong’s cardinal rule.
After all, there’s a sea of perfectly ripe potential victims in the big city just beyond the forest, and when you’ve worked as hard as Sam to build a cozy life and a thriving business in a community surrounded by friendly fellow animal folk, warm décor, and the aroma of cedar trees and freshly baked apple pie…the last thing you want is to disturb the peace.
So you can imagine her indignation when one of Woodbrook’s own meets a grisly, mysterious demise-and you wouldn’t blame her for doing anything it takes to hunt down her rival before the town self-destructs and Sheriff Patterson starts (literally) barking up the wrong tree. Live, laugh, shed blood. Dexter meets Richard Scarry’s Busy Town in writer-artist Patrick Horvath’s twisted debut of Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees!

INVASIVE #1 DEBUTS FROM ONI PRESS SERVING UP A CHILLING NEW TAKE ON THE BODY HORROR GENRE FROM HARROW COUNTY HORROR LEGEND CULLEN BUNN!
Beyond excess, beyond ethics, beyond science . . . Enter a terrifying new experiment in pain from Eisner Award nominee Cullen Bunn (The Sixth Gun, Basilisk) and acclaimed illustrator Jes s Hervás (The Empty Man)! Dr. Carrie Reynolds was a veteran trauma surgeon with a godlike mastery of muscle and bone.
But outside the operating room, her rigidly ordered life spiraled into chaos when her daughter, Heather-a recovering plastic surgery addict-suddenly disappeared, only to mysteriously reemerge in a catatonic state, her vocal cords removed . . . the latest in a series of victims scarred by a battery of brazenly cruel medical procedures that have baffled police and left an alarming number of once-ordinary citizens maimed, mutilated, or dead on arrival.
Deep beneath the streets of Carrie’s city, a new kind of underground hospital has just opened its doors . . . and, once inside, there are no rules, no oaths, and no taboos too deep to not to be broken. Together, a new class of surgeon has sworn to pierce the final threshold of accepted medical orthodoxy one incision at a time.
The scalpel is their tool. The alleys are their operating theater. Murder is their medicine. And only Carrie can stop what they’re planning next . . .

LEGENDARY DAREDEVIL CREATIVE TEAM BENDIS & MALEEV REUNITE FOR AN ALL NEW CREATOR-OWNED SERIES IN MASTERPIECE #1!
Third Eye Faithful, one of the BEST Daredevil runs of all-time, is easily the BENDIS / MALEEV run that went for nearly 100 issues back in the 2000s, and redefined the character as we know him, while serving as much of the template for the totally rad NETFLIX DD series!
In MASTERPIECE, Emma is a brilliant and driven 16-year-old.
She has paid for school with her next level inventions and is well-known for her funny and honest webcomics.
Then, one day, one of the most famous billionaires on the planet confronts her with the truth about her world. Emma discovers she is the only daughter of two of the greatest, most charismatic master criminals of all time.
The suavest, most liked criminals ever. The criminal’s criminal. The ones that wrote the rulebook. There are movies about them starring the biggest movie stars.
Her parents were the authors of the greatest casino robbery of all time, the greatest museum heist of all time, and they took the world’s most famous billionaire for a cool billion… before they disappeared never to be seen or heard from again. Ghosts.
Zero Preston is the greedy billionaire her parents brilliantly ripped off before they disappeared. He has been looking for payback for years. He finds Emma… who clearly does not have his money.
Zero threatens Masterpiece into pulling a grand, impossible job against his corporate enemy.
This “Master of the Universe” will have his satisfaction. Masterpiece fashions a crew of her peers and her parents’ old associates to pull off one of the greatest heists of all time. Among the cast of characters comes the return of the legendary criminal The Paragon. A Robin Hood for our times. This exquisitely well-dressed, long con master criminal returns to his calling when faced with the truth behind the sinister corporate forces of Zero.

BATMAN #428 ROBIN LIVES remasters & reissues the classic DEATH OF JASON TODD issue but with the ending where Jason lives!
FINALLY REVEALED! FROM THE DC VAULT: THE UNPUBLISHED ALTERNATE ENDING TO A DEATH IN THE FAMILY IN WHICH JASON TODD SURVIVES HIS ENCOUNTER WITH THE JOKER!
What if one of the darkest hours in Batman’s crime-fighting career never happened? Thirty-five years ago, fans voted on Jason Todd’s fate after his brutal encounter with The Joker, which set Jason on the path to becoming the gun-toting vigilante Red Hood.
But suppose fans had voted differently… DC Comics transports you back in time with this special faux-simile edition of Batman #428 in which Robin lives! Featuring pages reconstructed from artist Jim Aparo’s alternate art boards–which have been plucked from the DC vault and fully restored and remastered–this reedited version of A Death in the Family, Book Three turns the Dark Knight’s greatest tragedy into a moment of triumph. Adding to the immersive authenticity of this alternate-history comic book, this version includes all the ads from the original 1988 edition plus a rewritten letters column.
STRAY BULLETS legend DAVID LAPHAM returns with UNDERHEIST #1 from BOOM STUDIOS (GRIM, SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN, BRIAR) bringing a unique supernatural spin tot he crime thrillers Lapham does so well!
Third Eye Faithful, we’re telling you right now: STRAY BULLETS is not just one of the best crime comics of all-time, but one of the best comics of all-time!
So, when we saw he was going to be serving up a return to the crime genre he does so well but with an eerie new twist: we had to give you the full scoop!
After his gambling addiction brings David to the lowest point in his life and decimates his personal life, he’d do anything for one last chance at setting things right but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
He may just be in luck-if he can call it that; the grapevine yields illicit fruit as he learns of a heist, one involving a tunnel system that no one knows better than former NYC subway veteran David…
In this brand new hardboiled heist series with a supernatural horror twist perfect for fans of Phantom Road and Newburn, the hit Stray Bullets creative team of David & Maria Lapham explore how seeking atonement can lead people to do desperate and dangerous things.

TRAVERSE THE ISLAND, AND SAVE SOME FURRY FRIENDS WITH RACE TO THE RAFT!
Race to the Raft is a co-operative, path building, tile placement, social puzzle board game for 1-4 players.
In the game, you play the role of the disorientated island cats who are lost on the smoke-filled island. Nothing seems to be where it once was, and you must find a safe route to the raft by placing pathway cards.
As you build pathways, fire — which is represented by different shaped tiles — will spread across the island, limiting your options. You need to find the balance between creating long pathways and keeping the cats ahead of the flames as you move towards the raft.
The game includes 81 scenarios from which to choose, including a simple tutorial that gradually introduces you to new rules and an advanced tutorial for when you’re ready for a far greater challenge.
Choose cards, build pathways, and control the spread of the fire as you work together to guide all the cats in their race to the raft!
