When cute goth girl Alice Oh comes into Pamela’s life after an accident at the local park, she makes her feel like pulling back the curtains and letting the sunshine in. But there are dark secrets deep within the Isley house. Secrets Pamela’s father has warned must remain hidden. Secrets that could turn deadly and destroy the one person who ever cared about Pamela, or as her mom preferred to call her...Ivy. Will Pamela open herself up to the possibilities of love, or will she forever be transformed by the thorny vines of revenge?

PORTRAIT OF A DRUNK HC SCHRAUWEN

(W) Florent Ruppert

Guy is a mediocre mariner, able enough, but also a lazy, thieving, lying drunkard. All of which makes him more real than the swashbuckling Hollywood heroes that grace most pirate narratives. This tour de force of sea-faring gallows humor is also an international event in modern comics, teaming for the first time three titans of the field: Belgian comics master Olivier Schrauwen (Parallel Lives, Arsene Schrauwen) and the acclaimed French duo, Ruppert & Mulot (The Perineum Technique).

• Hey guys, what's up? Jack "MASS MASTER" Power here, and I'm narrating this issue of Power Pack, so they also let me do the solicit! JULIE narrated the last issue, and we all saw how well THAT went (aw, just kidding, Julie) (...unless?), so it's time for the big guns! Let's master some mass in this thing!! •  Anyway, bad news, Massheads - in this issue I get PLAYED by my HATERS into FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE against someone who is trying to MESS UP MY ENTIRE FAMILY, so let's just say: Things get a little TOO real! •  Also there's a special guest star...WOLVERINE!! He's on the cover. I tried to get them to add a red arrow to it, pointing toward him with a circle around his claws, but they said that was "clickbait," and I said, "Lol, I know." •  And remember: Real heroes don't forget to like (this comic) and subscribe (to this comic through their local comic book store).
