The gore-drenched showdown of a lifetime erupts in the depths of space as the undead, mass-murderer Jason Voorhees is reborn to face the cybernetically-enhanced and unstoppable future version of himself! As Jason X stalks the halls of an interstellar pleasure cruiser, a deep-space salvage team makes their way into the remnants of the space catamaran Grendel, where the über-Jason was created. Hoping to gut the ship of its most valuable assets, the team instead unwittingly revives a curse that transcends time itself, reawakening the one, original Jason Voorhees. Jason's divided reign of terror will be short-lived, however, as both halves of Earth's most dreaded serial killer are drawn to one another for a confrontation that can have only one victor... and one survivor! Fan-favorite creator Mike Wolfer brings this epic bloodbath to life in this vicious two-issue series, both offered this month!

Battle Stories was a K-ration quality war series set in Korea, published in the early 1950s by Fawcett, who was clearly running out of creative steam by that point. Stories like “You’ll Never Be Twenty,” “Platoon Forward” and “Land-Lubber” offer war combat action in all its violence and gritty detail, with stock characters falling on grenades to save the rest of the squadron, grizzled veterans warning the fresh-faced recruits about the dangers ahead, and courageous soldiers overmatched by scores of enemy troops finding a way back home against all odds. The ugly stories are matched with ugly, claustrophobic artwork and a generally malevolent editorial tone.
