Beginning a new and VERY different direction! Vampirella was last spotted in 2016 doing what she does best—defending the world from threats both mystic and evil. She hasn’t been seen since. Now, over a thousand years later, she’s poised to make her fateful return, but the world that awaits her is unlike anything she might expect—or want to defend! Written by acclaimed comics, novel and television writer Paul Cornell (This Damned Band, Doctor Who) and illustrated by the underrated Jimmy Broxton (Goldtiger, Knight & Squire), it’s the start of an adventure for Vampirella unlike any she’s had in her long and storied history. Don’t miss the train before it leaves the station!

There’s a new hero in town – and it isn’t Britt Reid! The Swashbuckler’s showing up the Green Hornet at his own game—but the cavalier vigilante has made Britt suspicious of his motives.

At last, Juan Jin is the new Spirit of the Earth! But he has no idea why and what to do with his new powers! And frankly, he doesn’t care. Meanwhile, the Ghost Daggers, the gang led by the nefarious Nei Chang, are putting everyone in Chinatown under pressure. They want to find the Golden Dragon statue at all costs!
Right now, he has more pressing matters than his “destiny”: the Triads are after him to get The Golden Dragon, the New York Police Department considers him a person of interest in a murder case and he doesn’t know who to trust… Well, certainly not these other Spirits who all say they want to offer their help. There’s no easy way out for our hero.This issue is a perfect jump-on point for new readers! And as a bonus, the ultra-rare issue #0 is included!
Plus: an exclusive Spirit of Fire cover from fan-favorite artist Gerald Parel!

writer | artist | cover: Francesco Francavilla
incentive cover: Francesco Francavilla (“virgin” art)
FC • 32 pages • $3.99 • Teen+
A series of unexpected disappearances and deaths hit Central City. Initially these cases seem purely unrelated: no apparent connection between the victims makes it easy for the police to just file them as runaways or natural deaths. But when someone close to Ebony White disappears, The Spirit is on the case!
The Shadow: Death of Margo Lane HC Limited Edition Diamond Exclusive
writer: Matt Wagner
artist: Matt Wagner (art), Brennan Wagner (colors)
cover: Matt Wagner
FC • 144 pages • $199.99 • Teen +
Legendary creator Matt Wagner returns to both write and draw an all-new tale for the first and most famous of all pulp heroes, The Shadow! Following his critically-acclaimed work on The Shadow: Year One and Grendel vs. The Shadow, Wagner once again lends his masterful talents to unveil “what evil lurks in the hearts of men”, joined by talented colorist Brennan Wagner.
For years, Margo Lane has served as The Shadow’s faithful friend and companion, the closest and most intimate of all his many agents. But when will that proximity to The Shadow’s dark and violent world take its ultimate toll on her? And what effect will his lover’s loss have on the driven and brooding Master of Darkness? A powerful and resonant tale in the sort of pulse-pounding pulp style that only Matt Wagner could deliver!
This collection also includes Matt Wagner’s 8-page story from Issues 1-5 and The Shadow #100.
