Critical Entertainment announced a partnership with CEX Publishing to make their comics available through Lunar Distribution. So as well as CEX's planned offers in their October 2024 solicits and solicitations (though actually for November 2024), they will also debut graphic novel Space Dragon, the series Planetary Expansion #1, and in future months will add Lifeboat and The Cowboy with Many Hats. "CEX Is driven to support comics creators, fans and retailers. Critical Entertainment has proven that they are making books for fans and to support retailers," CEX's publisher Andy Schmidt said. "And they've got some really great talent on those books, too. Partnering with them to help get their books in the hands of more fans was a no brainer for us." Here's the full CEX October 2024 solicits, with the collection of Midnight Tiger: Origins, new Seven Years in Darkness, and the launch of Trample by Garrett Gunn and Samir Simao.

Finally having the means to do something and wanting to put his newfound abilities to good use, Gavin becomes the crime-fighter known as Midnight Tiger and begins his assault on the gangs and drug dealers of Apollo Bay. Making a name for himself as the city's new protector, Gavin quickly begins to realize that something a lot more sinister than inner city street crime is actually plaguing Apollo Bay and he may be powerless to stop it.
