False Flag #1-2
False Flag explores grief interrupted.
A single father grieves the loss of his son in the aftermath of a mass shooting when a conspiracy theorist shows up in his small town demanding proof the tragedy occurred.
The circumstances of Dan’s move to rural Michigan comes into question when conspiracy theorist Henry Perkins shows up in his small town. He digs into Dan’s past, attempting to prove the families are faking the deaths of their children. Dan reflects on past relationships, including the one with the mass shooter’s family.
GRYMSTONE #1 (Summit Comics)
Two brothers on a slow road to madness. A whispering action figure who demands blood. Surreal modern Folk Horror from Summit Comics.
Summit Comics is bringing GRYMSTONE: SOIL & ASH to Kickstarter, a five-part surreal folk-horror series written, colored, and lettered by Scott Alan Gregory, with art by Thiago Motta and variant covers from Pete Collins, Juan Angel, and Damian Connelly (You Promised Me Darkness). The project earned Gregory a contract as the winner of the 2025 Summit Comics Writer Talent Search and now marks the publisher’s first villain-centered series.
A seven-inch-tall ’80s action figure possessed by the ancient spirit of a wicked woodland entity binds three troubled families across three different eras. As GrymStone’s influence takes shape, a Chicago man seeks help for his brother, who believes the talking action figure hidden in his basement is compelling him to commit violent acts.
GrymStone: Soil & Ash draws from the unsettling atmosphere of ’90s Vertigo horror to explore mental illness, inherited damage, and the evil that takes root beneath it all through the surreal, dangerous, and tragicomic storytelling that defined the era’s alternative comics landscape.

CHAOS! COMICS – THE PURGATORI & CHASTITY OMNIBUS COLLECTION!
The 1990s Bad Girl Stories Collected in Deluxe Omnibuses For The First Time EVER! Co-starring LADY DEATH & EVIL ERNIE!
Being one of the first fans to crawl out of the grave has its rewards. Fans who back this Kickstarter during the first 66 hours and 6 minutes will receive a special set of limited-edition Chastity and Purgatori promotional collectible trading cards created specifically for the campaign. It’s our way of recognizing the fans who are there from the very beginning and helping us bring Purgatori and Chastity back into the spotlight.
But this is a genuine early-backer opportunity. Once the first 66 hours and 6 minutes have passed, the offer is gone. So if you’ve been waiting for these characters to return, don’t wait too long. The clock starts when the campaign launches.
CHAOS! COMICS RETURNS: PURGATORI & CHASTITY ULTIMATE OMNIBUS EDITIONS ARE HERE!
The bad-ass legends of Chaos! are coming back.
For decades, the classic stories of Purgatori and Chastity have been scattered across long out-of-print comic books, hidden in impossible to find back-issue bins, and scattered in some convention boxes. They are lost to time except for the collections of fans who were there when Chaos! Comics first exploded onto the scene three decades ago. These characters are a treasured reminder of a time when comics were louder, stranger, darker, and completely unapologetic. They are legendary comic icons that many have heard about for years but have never had the chance to experience their original stories.
Until now. The earth has cracked open and we’ve reached directly into Hell to unleash these femme fatales in all their diabolical glory.
Curated by the one and only Brian Pulido, we’re bringing the classic Purgatori and Chastity stories together in definitive new collections, giving these unforgettable characters the kind of presentation they deserve and giving a whole new generation the opportunity to discover what made Chaos! Comics such a force in the 1990s.
WELCOME BACK TO CHAOS!
There was a time when Chaos! Comics didn’t just publish comics, it cultivated a way of life, a rock ‘n’ roll attitude, and a louder than hell world of creatures. The books were outrageous, the artwork was unforgettable, and the characters were unlike anything else on the shelves. Chaos! Comics built a universe where supernatural horror, dark fantasy, action, humor, and larger-than-life personalities could collide without anyone worrying about staying safely inside the lines.
Purgatori and Chastity were born from that creative explosion.
They represented two very different sides of the Chaos! universe, but both embodied the same spirit: powerful women who refused to be defined by anyone else’s rules. They weren’t supporting players waiting for their moment. They were characters that would walk into a story and completely change its direction.
And now, their classic adventures are coming back into the light.
PURGATORI
BLOOD, POWER, & AMBITION
Purgatori has always been more than a vampire. From her first appearance, she is a survivor, a warrior, a seductress, and a force of supernatural ambition. Her journey is built around power and the desire to obtain it, the willingness to use it, and the realization that possessing power only creates greater enemies. Her world is one of blood, betrayal, ancient evil, and shifting alliances, where even immortality cannot guarantee victory.
From her earliest appearances through the stories that established her as one of Chaos!’s signature characters, Purgatori became an icon of the era. Her adventures captured the excess, imagination, and unapologetic attitude that defined Chaos! Comics while creating a character who was entirely her own.
For longtime fans, these collections offer the chance to revisit the stories that helped make Purgatori a legend. For new readers, they provide the opportunity to discover her story from the beginning and experience the character the way Chaos! originally intended.
CHASTITY
THE WARRIOR WHO NEVER BACKED DOWN
Chastity has always embraced the eternal fight. She exists in a world filled with monsters, vampires, supernatural forces, and enemies who believe they can control the battlefield. But Chastity bows to no one. Just give her a weapon, give her a target, and get out of the way.
What made Chastity stand apart was the attitude behind the action. She was tough, dangerous without needing to announce it, and completely unwilling to become someone else’s pawn. Her stories combined supernatural horror, action, dark humor, and the rockin’ artistic energy that made Chaos! Comics such a 1990s powerhouse.
These collections bring those classic adventures back together so fans can experience Chastity’s journey as one complete reading experience right from your bookshelf.

Rigsby WI – Volume 3: Flux by SE Case
Volume 3 of SE Case’s Eisner-nominated webcomic is up for grabs! Welcome back to Rigsby, Wisconsin!
Welcome back to Rigsby, Wisconsin.
It’s the early 2000s, and a group of outcast teens wrestle with their shifting identities and potential futures in a picturesque—but slightly backwards—Northwoods town.
Trapped in a small town environment prone to nihilism, Jeordie, Anna, and Beth cope any way they know how—regardless of the unpredictable, and sometimes self-destructive, results.
Rigsby WI: Flux is the third chapter of Ignatz and Eisner Award-nominated webcomic written and drawn by S.E. Case. And this time around, it’s all about Jeordie.
Jeordie’s not having a great year.
It’s not school; his grades are alright. Honor roll, even. He’s got good friends, a cute girlfriend. Parties to go to, warm days at the lake, even a car. All the parts and pieces that make for the perfect teenage experience are there.
But it’s just not clicking.
Let’s be real, it can be tough being the only Black kid for miles. The microaggressions are everywhere, even if you’re not gonna learn that word exists for another 15 years.
And while nobody’s high school relationships are easy? Sometimes, he’s not even sure his girlfriend actually likes him.
He’s not sure anybody does.
Deciding who you’re supposed to be and where you belong is easier with some backup. And while Beth is always ready to listen, and his parents are hovering at a respectful distance, Jeordie’s got more than his share of the typical teenage bullshit to navigate. And it’s getting tougher to stay on course.

The Arc Fall by Owen D. Pomery
The much-anticipated sequel to the acclaimed graphic novel The Hard Switch!
Set in the same richly imagined universe, The Arc Fall explores the next chapter in their story, blending breathtaking worlds, big ideas, and the distinctive visual storytelling that made The Hard Switch such a hit with readers.
The Hard Switch is happening.
Inter-system space travel is now only the reserve of the elite. Still trying to solve an eons old mystery that could re-democratise the galaxy, Ada, Haika and Mallic must also stay one step of their relentless pursuers; the shady X2 organisation. Even laying low becomes an impossibility as society’s most basic structures start to crumble, forcing the crew to make fundamental and devastating choices in order to survive.
As self-preservation grips the galaxy, propelled by waves of fear and mistrust, loyalties are pushed to breaking point, and pulling together may not be enough.
Is a new beginning in sight, or is it the beginning of the end

Dead Sexy #3
The network burns. The war continues.
Mary Jo Patterson clawed her way out of a shallow grave. She’s spent two issues learning what she is. Issue #3 is where she finds out what she can do.
The men who killed her weren’t working alone. They never were. Behind Alex, behind the ritual, behind every body in the woods, there’s an organization — a network of respectable men with respectable lives and a shared appetite for slaughter. They’ve operated for centuries. They’ve never been hunted.
That ends on a Saturday night, at an abandoned meat processing plant off Route 9, where thirty cars are parked in the dirt and a dozen people are locked in freezer cells waiting to die.
Mary Jo knows the odds. She’s going in anyway.
This is uncensored, uncompromised horror. Graphic violence, gore, language, nudity, and adult themes throughout. We don’t pull punches and we don’t sand off edges. If that’s what you’re here for, you’re in the right place.

DRAGON GUARDIAN ELODEA #1 – 3: Fantasy, Creatures, & Magic
Miyazaki meets Game of Thrones in this epic fantasy series for adults about the sea witch Elodea and her draconic monsters.
Dragon Guardian Elodea is an epic fantasy series set in the world of Wild Wisps, a world humans share with incredible creatures known as Wisps. Wisps are magical monsters with elemental powers that can be either commonplace or god-like.
The people of Cryberry Cove say that when the sea witch Elodea was a little girl, she would see visions of horrible things… and then, they’d come true.
Fearful of her deadly prophecy, the venom-addicted lord of Cryberry Cove, Sova Lugatsen, sent Elodea away on a ship.
Right before Elodea was to be put to death, the ship was attacked by a Glauticus, a powerful and lethal sea serpent. Everyone on the ship was killed, except Elodea, who sank to the bottom.
She came face-to-face with the Glauticus and it sensed the power of her magic… and bonded with her.
Now, Elodea lives apart from the human world, in an island sanctuary of Wisps. She has dedicated her life to saving voiceless Wisps, taking on the role of their protector alongside her draconic beasts.
Elodea is once more called back to Cryberry Cove… but is it for vengeance or salvation? Now, in the second issue, Elodea must take on the ambitious nobility of Cryberry Cove along with their ruthless army of pirate northmen…
…led by the vicious Asanthia Steek and her powerful Wisp, Drinkly.
In this issue, Sova Lugatsen’s wedding to Asanthia Steek looms. If they join in matrimony, their union of power will be too much to overcome.
Meanwhile, Elodea discovers a shocking truth about the Wisp trapped in the volcano.
Can Elodea save the volcanic Wisp without dooming the people of Cryberry Cove…
…and should she?
Dragon Guardian Elodea #3 (of 5) is a full-color 24-page comic, written by Pat Shand, illustrated by Katia Vecchio, lettered by Reed Hinckley-Barnes, and edited by Chris Halton & Shannon Lee.

THE MUSE: A Body Horror One-Shot Comic
A love story between an artist and his biomechanical muse, painted in blood.
Disguised as a romance, THE MUSE is an intimate body horror comic about beauty, identity, and the relationship between artists and their work.
In the AI-dominated world of 2084, washed-up painter Solomon Boone hasn’t completed a worthwhile canvas in years. Enter Muse: a gorgeous, biomechanical woman who simply walks into his apartment and
plants a kiss on his love-starved lips, claiming to be the “inspiration” he’s been searching for.
Muse transforms Solomon’s shabby apartment into a home, his failing career into a sensation, and his empty life into something worth waking up for. However, each burst of inspiration requires Solomon to part with a piece of himself: a lock of hair. A finger. His body altogether.
The more Solomon paints, the less of him remains.
Equal parts David Cronenberg, Katsuhiro Otomo, and Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, THE MUSE explores the seductive yet toxic relationship between artists and their work.
Written by Ryan X. Messcher, with art by Gabriel Fassina, THE MUSE is a 32-page, self-contained one-shot comic rendered in stark grayscale with minimal dialogue.

(Summit Comics) Vesper Issue 1
Summit Comics’ premiere antihero super soldier stars in his solo comic debut!
Welcome to the first full issue length adventure of Vesper, Summit Comics’ rogue super soldier for hire. I’m sorry…”troubleshooter”.
After his first appearances in our Sneak Peak and Pinnacle Origins, it is time to delve deep into his past within his first official issue!
Mission Briefing
Jackson Nacht was once the sidekick to the US Military’s super soldier, Major Victorious (who is also his uncle John). However, due to a combination of the serum taken to save his life and the onset of puberty, Jackson became emotionally and mentally unstable. Fired from his position, he has since become V.I.G.I.L.E.’s premier “troubleshooter” on their payroll, sent on missions of great import that others don’t want to sully their hands with.
In his last appearance, Vesper saved a Ukrainian teenager who was experimented on by the devious Doctor Zombie to make a new kind of super soldier. In the aftermath of that, Matron, head of V.I.G.I.L.E., has Vesper begin investigating those who might be connected….
In addition to our main tale, we have the first of three 8 page shorts delving into Vesper’s origin story with art by David Hutajulu and colors by series colorist Henry Lopez.
