She gave up godhood, having grown too close to humanity during her dealings with the mortal heroes who had been trapped in the imaginary universe. And as a result, that universe was left in her care. Ashema became its pillar, supporting the world through the power of her belief in its reality. But now something has gone wrong. Some malevolent force reaches out, determined to take her charge for its own, twisting and corrupting the very fabric of the land she seeks to protect. And she finds herself vulnerable. Hunted. Human. She needs a knight to do battle in her stead, one that can stand against the great powers of the Universe and emerge triumphant. There is such a man... but Ashema will find that the cure may prove far more deadly than the disease...

Nobody knows why the skyscraper-sized mechs known as ‘Giga’ fought their bitter, centuries’ long war. All they know is that when the fighting finally stopped, the dormant Giga became humanity’s new habitat and new gods in one. When disgraced engineer Evan Calhoun finds an apparently murdered Giga, his society and the fascistic tech-centered religious order that controls it are rapidly thrown into chaos. From writer Alex Paknadel (Friendo, Turncoat, Incursion) and rising star John Le comes another Vault & White Noise partnership about what happens after the mechs stop fighting.

Jack likes to think of himself as a criminal mastermind...with an unfortunate amount of bad luck. A schemer, plotter, planner, trickster, swindler... maybe eve a thief? Of course, he's not out for himself so much as he's trying to take the burden off his momma's hardworking shoulders. She'd understand, right? He hopes she might even be proud. One fine day Jack picks a target a little bigger than the usual rich guy, and one tiney bean turns into a giant big building-destroying beanstalk. With a pack of angry giants eager for his head, Jack is forced to leave Shyport City. But when he returns with Rapunzel (and her trusty braids) by his side, fixing to right some old wrongs, they must use a pixie from Jack's past, a man with inventions for the future, and all the plotting and planning in the world to out-swindle the giants and save Shyport in a fairy tale-tainted city as it catapults Jack and Rapunzel into a fantastical adventure.

NEW SERIES! Disregarded, disrespected and dismissed, Renny has a chip on his shoulder. Once an equal partner in a criminal syndicate that rules Las Vegas, he now finds himself living in a shack in the desert. But the shack has a workshop, and Renny's been busy. It’s time to march his robot army into the neon hell of a cyberpunk Vegas and retake his seat at the table. Or take the wood from the table and build enough caskets for the whole syndicate. Old friends better run, because Operation PATIENCE! CONVICTION! REVENGE! is underway. Like an Elmore Leonard novel set in the world of Blade Runner, PATIENCE! CONVICTION! REVENGE! is offbeat and often funny, but all about the dark corners of cities and minds. A violent criminal genius with a bad case of monomania makes for the most fun you'll have with a comic this year.
