Last year Black Mask Comics did some insane stuff for Local Comic Shop Day, this year held on November 19th. Not all shops got it, not all wanted it, but for those who did, they sold out fast.

So what do Black Mask have planned for this year?

Well, they have two hardcovers, one of Disciples Vol 1 by Steve Niles and Christopher Mitten.And an oversized one of Godkiller by Matt Pizzolo and Anna Muckcracker Wieszczyk, 304 pages deluxe oversize like those big Vertigo editions, 7.5"x11.25".

Also an exclusive cover of Kim & Kim #1 by Magdalene Visaggio, Eva Cabrera and Claudia Aguirre .

And then they have a Godkiller secret item limited to 666. And no more details.

And a The Forevers secret item. Again no more details.

What could they be?

LCSD 2016 DISCIPLES HC VOL 01 (MR)
(W) Steve Niles (A/CA) Christopher Mitten
Dagmar, Rick, and Jules, intrepid private eyes/bounty hunters, have been hired by a high ranking Senator to retrieve his teenage daughter who's run off to join a mysterious religious cult. This is no ordinary cult though. In the near future of The Disciples, the ultra-wealthy have become true Masters of the Universe by colonizing moons throughout the solar system. Billionaire industrialist McCauley Richmond is one such colonist: he's built a new society on Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter, where his flock of cultists can have the religious freedom to worship him. But when the team reaches Ganymede in their starship Venture, they discover something has gone horribly wrong … This ghost story in space reunites comics' king of the macabre, Steve Niles, with his longtime collaborator Christopher Mitten, whose stylish mix of grit and flow matches Steve's sharp characterizations and taste for screams. Collects the four-issue mini-series.

LCSD 2016 GODKILLER DELUXE HC
The beloved, ultra-not-for-kids, modern classic about teenage orphan Tommy and escaped slavegirl Halfpipe who travel through a post-nuke wasteland in search of a new heart for Tommy's dying sister. This deluxe oversized collection is the authoritative volume of the book that launched an animated film trilogy and earned writer Matt Pizzolo (Young Terrorists) Wired Magazine's award for World's Most Wired Comics Creator. Collects volumes 1 and 2 just in time for Halfpipe's continuing adventures in Young Terrorists (returning in November) and upcoming Tomorrow's Ashes (debuting in December).
304 pages. Oversized. Hardcover.. Limited to 666 copies.

LCSD 2016 GODKILLER SECRET ITEM
This is a thing.

Limited to 666 copies.

LCSD 2016 KIM AND KIM #1
Kim & Kim are twentysomething besties out to make a name for themselves in the wild world of interdimensional cowboy law enforcement. In a massive "screw you" to their parents and the authorities, they decide to hijack some high stakes bounty – and end up in way over their heads. Kim & Kim is a day-glo action adventure that's bursting with energy and enthusiasm. It puts queer women and trans women front and center, with a story that embraces the absurd alongside realistic pathos. It's a mature book that focuses on the power and meaning of female friendships as engines of validation.

LCSD 2016 THE FOREVERS SECRET ITEM
This is a thing.
