Malek: Reigning Devil 1-3
John Wick meets Spawn and is inspired by Dante’s Inferno! 36 interior pages! Malek journeys to Purgatory to confront Lucifer!
Malek: Reigning Devil is a high-octane, hardcore, but literary, story with deep influences from Dante’s Divine Comedy, Spawn, and Paradise Lost.
Malek, for eons, existed as God’s Wrath on Earth—the Ha-Masshit, ensconced in his belief in God’s love. Throughout time, Malek has laid waste to empires, smited thousands in the name of God, and hunted rogue nephilim. Steeped in blood, Malek has remained the righteous hammer of his creator, never questioning the nature of his divine existence.
However, Malek was tricked into journeying to the lowest circle of Hell to kill the Devil. Unbeknownst to Malek, he who kills the Devil, must then become the new Devil—a fact Malek learned only upon killing Lucifer.
Malek seethed over the eternal punishment he had not earned, for no angel may set foot in Heaven once sullied by the sands of Hell. Cheated by his creator, he sought vengeance born of holy wrath and hate.
One by one, Malek defeated the lords of each circle of Hell- vanquishing his enemies and bringing their loyal servants to heel

ODE TO SEX: An Exquisite Collection of European Erotica
From the renowned publisher of ground-breaking science fiction, esoteric fantasy, and gritty crime comes something…more carnal.
For half a century, Humanoids and their anthology Metal Hurlant have reshaped the landscape of our collective unconscious. Though they are best recognized for breaking down barriers (of the creative and spiritual kind), they have also been known to erect.
After decades of ushering sequential science fiction, adventure, and fantasy masterworks into the English-speaking world and beyond, reinvigorating mind and spirit, they thought it high time to honor the FLESH.
A carefully curated collection of exquisite erotica from the greatest European masters, including works never before published in English, each presented in the classic European format: Sleek. Oversized. Hard.
ODE TO THE X: a 60-page color book. A magnificent, sensual anthology, that unites eighteenth century experts of licentious verse with top tier artists and twentieth century foxes such as Mœbius, Liberatore (RanXerox), Loustal, and Bess. Within these pages, the dreamy drawings of Beb-deum illustrate the erotic words of Belleau, the bawdyness of Pierre Motin meets the frank and straightforward line of Chauzy, and Mœbius packs the rhymes and assonances of Patin de la Fizelière into a psychedelic comic strip worthy of his greatest works. Eight original couplings come together in a pleasure feast for your senses.

Superguy is a comedic superhero comic book series written by Anthony Iannaccio and drawn/lettered by Joey Murphy.

In issue #1, Robotguy saved the big city from being destroyed by a meteor and Superguy promptly took credit… then proceeded to take a nap. Feeling like a true hero, Robotguy suited up and defeated of gauntlet of Superguy’s villains. This angered Superguy and a city-destroying battle between Superguy and Robotguy ensued, leading to the breakup of hero and sidekick.
In this second issue of our planned four-issue first arc, an injured Superguy is kidnapped by The Prez’s goons and attacked by a rampaging pink monster. Will Robotguy step up and save the day… or fall in love?!
And we’re proud to say: NO A.I. was used or will ever be used by the creators of this comic to create this issue, covers, pin-ups or anything involving Superguy or any of our other work! Superguy was 100% human created by REAL ARTISTS.

Sweeney Todd #1
May this story disturb and excite you appropriately.
This entire story will be told in 4 books total. This is the first book.
Pre-Victorian London, 1785.
The practice of medical cannibalism has reached its peak.
Mumia—the practice of grinding human flesh and organ into a powder to be served with wine—now survives only among the rich. In candlelit basements, they host lavish unwrapping parties, sipping dust from ancient mummies and drifting into euphoric trances.
Outside their mansions, the city burns.
The Golden Riots have left London raw and trembling—streets crowded with beggars, bankers, and broken men clawing to rebuild what faith and empire have consumed. To add insult to injury, the American Revolutionary War has ended, and veterans like Sweeney Todd return to a city unrecognizable. In one of London’s most unstable and desperate times, madness and money intertwine, salvation is sold by the ounce, and superstition and science become one.
Just a short walk from the roaring Royal Exchange, Sweeney’s barbershop on Fleet Street becomes his refuge. His hands, once trained for battle, now find grim purpose in the rhythm of a blade. Within its dim walls, throats are bared, secrets are whispered, and the scent of iron never fades.
Next door lives Mrs. Lovett, the eccentric widow weary from her two-year stay in the madhouse as a “misbehaved woman.” Committed by her late husband and suffocated by debt, she struggles to keep her bakery alive. One missed payment, and she loses everything—again.
When Sweeney and Lovett’s paths cross, misfortune binds them. A strange accident—part chance, part supernatural—awakens something unholy between them. Together, they find inspiration in London’s darkest indulgence.
The rich have been consuming the dead for centuries in pursuit of immortality.
But what if there were a more… efficient recipe?
If the nobles can swallow death and call it healing—
then perhaps London is ready for a new kind of Mumia:
freshly ground, served hot, and baked to perfection.

American Yakuza: THE FINALE! Acts 1-5
After all the fights, chases, injuries, deaths, fires, and turncoats, we’ve reached the FINALE of Volume One! Don’t miss this one!!
The final issue for Volume One of our gripping Japanese murder-mystery is here — and everything is on fire. (Literally and figuratively.)
From the shadows of neon-soaked streets to the bloodlines of old crime families, American Yakuza is a noir-infused murder mystery drenched in culture, betrayal, and brutal beauty. Created by Charlie McElvy, Anthony Stokes, and Chris Moses, and brought to life with stunning visual storytelling, this is a saga that’s equal parts Yakuza video game energy and prestige TV pacing.
Our story follows Xavier, a retired American MMA champion who arrives in Japan searching for answers about a friend’s death — and finds himself entangled in the deadly politics of a crumbling yakuza dynasty. Each act has pushed him deeper into the spider’s web, and now…well, something’s gotta give.
Act V is the finale. Murder after murder. Reveal after reveal. Fight after fight. Xavier finds himself more hunted than hunter and a recent betrayal has tipped the scale against him.
As we dive into this last issue — for now — questions abound!!
• What is Masashi really up to?
• What did Kyomi find under Kenji’s compound?
• What’s next for our trio?
• Will Xavier even survive this first volume…?
But don’t worry — we’re keeping this campaign description spoiler-free for newcomers. If you are new to the series, you can catch up with Acts I-IV (available as part of this campaign), and if you’ve been here since the beginning… you already know it’s about to get wild.

THE SKIM: Part One Gangster Heist Comic
How do you rob a casino without robbing a casino? You go after…THE SKIM! Part one of Three for this gritty brutal heist comic
THE SKIM is a three issue, grounded, cinematic crime drama set in Nevada, 1989, where a crew of small time criminals try to pull off the perfect score by stealing mob money that is already being stolen.
It is not a big loud, flashy Ocean’s Eleven style caper.
It is a tense, gritty thriller where every choice tightens the noose, and the desert has plenty of room to bury mistakes.
Paul Bianchi is stuck in a dead end life in Mercury, Nevada, with nothing ahead of him but heat, hangovers, and bad decisions.
So he pitches a question to his crew.
How do you rob a casino without robbing a casino?
Instead of walking onto the gaming floor and getting turned into a missing person, Paul targets something most people never even hear about.
The skim, mob money quietly siphoned out of a Vegas casino every month, carried off the books, and driven into the desert like clockwork.
It is a simple plan on paper.
A courier. A case. A lonely stretch of road outside the Strip.
Then the job gets personal.
And once the skim is hit, the house does not just want its money back. It wants to know who dared to touch it.
THE SKIM is a story about fate, blood, loyalty, and the lie of escape.
Because in this game, the house always wins.
That’s a wrap for this week.
Next week, we will return with new projects to spotlight. Also, if you are crowdfunding a project and would like to be put in the Korner, drop us a line at chad@comic-watch.com, and we will take a look when we put together next week’s post
