The first issue of this harrowing new miniseries follows Duncan, a desperate man at a drug rehabilitation center who becomes the reluctant participant in a harebrained scheme involving himself, three of his roommates from rehab, and a drug-sniffing dog. The dog sniffs out drug-filled storage units that the team can then rip off. Everything goes as planned until a deranged drug trafficker finds his storage unit empty and goes looking for his merchandise... and the men who took it.

There's a new hero in town and his name is Ralph Filmore! Ralph Filmore is just your average, everyday 13-year-old Paranormal Investigator. He may be the youngest, and possibly the world's greatest, paranormal private eye. Ralph hunts down and challenges all things strange and bizarre on a daily basis. He unwittingly solves 'out of this world' mysteries (literally). But he's still the shortest kid in the 8th grade, still gets picked on by bullies, and still has to be in bed by 9 o'clock.
