DESCENDENT #2
(W) Stephanie Phillips (A) Evgeny Bornyakov (CA) JUAN DOE
Missing kids, a mysterious cult, and one very angry ex-wife-seems like a typical Tuesday for conspiracy theorist David Corey. While David appears crazy to most, he might just be the only chance the FBI have of finding the missing kids and solving a centuries old mystery. Will FBI agent Joanna Hernandez learn to trust David before it's too late? From the creative team of Stephanie Phillips (Devil Within, Kicking Ice), Evgeniy Bornyakov (Meteora, Ziggy) , Lauren Affe (Stranger Things, Spider Gwen), and A Larger World's Troy Pe-teri, DESCENDENT is an action comedy that asks what happens if you combine The X-Files and National Treasure. (No, Nick Cage is not in this comic. Sorry, everyone.)
LOLLIPOP KIDS TP #1
(W) Aidan Glass (A) Diego Yapur (CA) JUAN DOE
When immigrants came to the new world they didn't only bring their hopes and dreams, they also brought their MONSTERS. Years ago, early setters locked these monsters away in a secret prison deep in the woods of NEW AMSTERDAM so that they never would return to the Old World. Those woods have be-come CENTRAL PARK and now the monsters have escaped! NICK, 14, finds out that he's a "lega-cy" to a secret society that for the last 400 years has kept these monsters in check - he and a ragtag group of kids just like him have to put the monsters back before they get out of the park and destroy the city. Brought to life by Adam Glass (ROUGH RIDERS, THE NORMALS, Teen Titans) and Aidan Glass, with art by Diego Yapur (The Night Projectionist, Priest: Purgatory), THE LOLLIPOP KIDS is an epic re-imagining of the things that go bump in the night. Volume 1 contains issues #1-5. "You'd be a sucker not to pick up THE LOLLIPOP KIDS." - Patrick Hayes, SciFiPulse
