CHILDREN OF THE BLACK SUN #1 – A black sun has risen twice, driving people to terrible horrors, and corrupting unborn babies with… peculiarities. Born with white hair, ashy skin, abnormal proportions, and eyes as red as fire – these are the Children of the Black Sun. The last time this happened was 12 years ago, but people live in fear of the Black Sun’s return, and direct their fear into contempt for these strange children. Particularly around the anniversary of these dark dawns, and especially here in Brightvale. The hatred of their fellow villages will drive the local Children Of The Black Sun to unite in search of answers about themselves, and their true nature, just in case the Black Sun is about to rise again…

TROJAN #1 (OF 4) – A fantasy thriller full of wonder and horror in equal measure! Once, we lived alongside Legends. Creatures of myth. Centaurs, fauns, gorgons, and more. They were spectacularly majestic. Pure. In comparison, we were ugly and rotten. So of course we drove these Legends to the fringes of society, and now there are rumours of live snuff shows for dark web high rollers. When a mysterious young woman, Nessa, enlists the help of a hacker to take a tour of the grisliest corners of the Dark Web, she sets in motion a war between those who peddle the darkest fantasies and a world that transcends imagination.

WASP #1 (OF 4) – Celebrate sixty years of the Wasp with fan-favourite creators Al Ewing (Immortal Hulk, X-Men Red) and Kasia Nie (Mockingbird; Age Of Conan: Belit) as Janet Van Dyne and her fellow Wasp, Nadia, are threatened by an old enemy!

HAMMERFALL #1 (OF 3) – A lone warrior rides deep into the vile blighted forest in a quest for justice, hurtling towards a confrontation with his quarry – the herald to a dark master who cannot be by mastery of arms alone.

LAZARUS PLANET ALPHA #1 (ONE SHOT) – Directly following the explosive events of Batman vs. Robin #4, the Lazarus Volcano has erupted, spewing dangerous and transformative chemicals into Earth’s atmosphere! People around the world are developing strange new abilities, or watch their already-extraordinary abilities change – it’s chaos unlike anything the DCU has experienced before! A rallying cry from Damian Wayne calls Poison Ivy, Power Girl, Cyborg, Batman, and more – including Monkey Prince?! – to the ruins of the Hall of Justice to help save the world! Co-written by Mark Waid, this is highly recommended for readers of his run on Batman Vs Robin!

BATMAN ADVENTURES CONTINUE SEASON 3 #1 (OF 7) – Alan Burnett and Paul Dini return once more to the world of Batman: The Animated Series! All previous Batman Adventures Continue pulls will be automatically reactivated; please let us know by 10am on Saturday if you want to opt out!

TMNT LAST RONIN LOST YEARS #1 – Travel back to the time before Michaelangelo’s march to his final battle, as he travels the world guided only by a need for vengeance and Master Splinter’s journal. What battles did he fight? What hard lessons did he learn? Meanwhile in the present, a new master, Casey Marie Jones, prepares her young terrapin students to be the next generation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! All previous TMNT Last Ronin pulls will be automatically reactivated; please let us know by 10am on Saturday if you want to opt out!

MOSELY #1 (OF 5) – It’s the end of the 21^st Century. Hyper-technology has allowed mega corporations to oppress mankind. But Mosely has had enough. Janitor no more, now he’s on a mission from a higher power to unleash holy Hell upon the “too big to fail” Tech Gods! And hopefully win back his estranged family too!
