"Massie’s loose, upbeat art has just enough of a rough edge to make it feel right for a story about grunge rock. This bittersweet blast from the past will strike a chord with recovering high school outcasts." HOLLER, the new graphic novel from Jeremy Massie, reviewed on Publishers Weekly!
NAKED CITY: A GRAPHIC NOVEL BY ERIC DROOKER
In this long-awaited graphic comedy from an esteemed illustrator and storyteller, three bohemians struggle to answer the question: “Is it possible for an artist to survive in the 21st Century?” More:
A young singer poses for a painter who has shifted from landscapes to nudes, and both of them learn a thing or two about the purpose of art and the meaning of success. The original graphic novel Naked City takes us inside the head of native New York artist, Eric Drooker (frequent cover artist for The New Yorker). His award-winning graphic novels—beginning with Flood—have charted new terrain for the form, and Blood Song is soon to be a major motion picture. Don’t miss this epic meditation on art and life.

THE WRITER #1 - OUT NOW!
MINOR THREATS: THE FASTEST WAY DOWN #1 - OUT NOW!
Kelly Sue DeConnick and David López reunite for the new creator-owned series FML from Dark Horse Comics. Get your first look at the covers.
HUGO FINALIST, EISNER AWARD WINNER, AND BRITISH FANTASY AWARD WINNER KELLY SUE DECONNICK AND EISNER AWARD NOMINEE DAVID LÓPEZ RETURN TO CREATOR-OWNED COMICS WITH “FML”
A brand-new creator-owned series from the team that brought you Captain Marvel!
FML #1 arrives in November 2024 with main cover art by David López and variant covers featuring artwork by Alvaro Martinez Bueno, David LaFuente, Nicola Scott (1:10 incentive variant), and Pepe Larraz (1:25 incentive variant). One additional variant cover will be revealed at a later date. Each issue will feature bonus material such as essays on music, true crime, interviews, and more that will be exclusive only to the single issues.
“David and I have been talking about doing something creator-owned together since Captain Marvel, but it took years for the stars and our schedules to properly align,” said DeConnick. “Now that we’re here though, it almost feels planned — like we needed exactly as long as it took us to grow and change, both as artists and as people, so that we could come back together for this big swing.
“FML is a challenging book — stylistically and in tone — and I’m not sure we could have pulled it off five years ago, honestly. But here we are—and I’m so proud of and impressed by the work put in by everyone involved. David is drawing like he’s got something to prove, Cris is pulling disparate styles together seamlessly, tying them together with her palette, and Clayton, of course, our ace and secret weapon, works his subtle magic on lettering to make sure you hear everything in your head exactly the way it was intended. McCubbin developed this terrific logo that evolves with each issue, and I don’t even know where to start with how supportive and inspiring Daniel Chabon’s editorial team has been. They’ve given us exactly what we needed at every step along the way.
“For my part, FML feels of a piece with Pretty Deadly and Bitch Planet; it’s as personal as the former and as satirical and of-the-moment as the latter.”
