BACKSTAGERS #1 (OF 8)
(W) James TynionIV (A) RIAN SYGH (CA) Veronica Fish
James Tynion IV (Batman Eternal, The Woods) teams up with artist RIAN SYGH (Munchkin, Stolen Forest) for an incredible yet earnest story about finding a place to fit in when you're kinda an outcast. When Jory transfers to the private, all-boys school St. Genesius's, he figures joining the stage crew would involve a lot of just fetching props and getting splinters. To his pleasant surprise, he discovers there's a door backstage that leads to different worlds, and all of the stagehands know about it! All the world's a stage...but what happens behind the curtain is pure magic!
RICK & MORTY #17
INCV VAR SYGH
(W) Kyle Starks (A) CJ Cannon (CA) RIAN SYGH
Rick's old drinking buddy has been dethroned and imprisoned by the new queen that Rick told him not to marry. Rick takes Morty on a mission to restore his buddy's throne, supposedly because Morty's such a great travel companion. Of course, Rick doesn't tell Morty that the aliens on this planet are very germ-phobic and he's inoculated Morty with dozens of infectious diseases to sneak by them. It's not like Morty's going to DIE or anything... probably.
