We have more exclusive first look at covers and solicitations for Dynamite's video game and music-related comic titles that will be shipping in October 2017. On the video game side you have Centipede, Swordquest, Fruit Ninjas and Killer Instinct, while on the music side you have Skin & Earth by Light and KISS/Vampirella.

CENTIPEDE #4
Cover A: Francesco Francavilla | Cover B: Eoin Marron | Writer: Max Bemis | Art: Eoin Marron

Dale's life has been nothing even close to normal since a flying monster descended on his planet and destroyed it, but things get even weirder as he discovers the Centipede's history, in what can only be described as a psychedelic trip down the creature's memory lane.

SWORDQUEST #5
Cover A: Goñi Montes | Cover B: Jonathan Lau | Cover C: Ken Haesar | Writer: Chad Bowers, Chris Sims | Art: Ghostwriter X

Peter Case's quest to steal the Sword of Ultimate Sorcery hit a few bumps along the way, like having to fight an evil wizard from another world, but he and his friends are seeing it through to the epic (as defined by the dictionary) conclusion of SwordQuest: Realworld!

FRUIT NINJA #2
Cover A: Scott Brown | Writer: Nate Cosby | Art: Scott Brown, Ruairi Coleman

Based on the adorable BILLION-times-downloaded game! In this cram-packed issue: MODERN FRUIT NINJAS go out on dates with date-loving cowboys who might be super-villains! ANCIENT FRUIT NINJAS get their feelings hurt and decide to throw fruit at each other! (they're Fruit Ninjas, it's their thing) …and JETPACK JOYRIDE tells the story of a machine that turns ocean water into cat hairballs for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON!

KILLER INSTINCT #2
Cover A: Yildiray Cinar | Cover B: Jonathan Lau | Cover C Subscription: Cam Adams | Writer: Ian Edginton | Art: Cam Adams

With the nations of the Earth still in chaos, The Coven — the secret society of Russian vampires — are eager to fill the power vacuum following the fall of the evil Shadow Lord, Gargos. Their leader, the Vampire Tsar, has a hunger for the mega-corporation Ultratech — but the corporation's CEO — the artificial intelligence, ARIA — is not in the mood for a hostile takeover. Meanwhile the warrior Jago has renounced violence — but how long that will last when the Vampire Tsar's Wendigo assassins catch up with him?

SKIN&EARTH #4 (of 6)
Covers, Writer, Art: Lights

Despite the thrill and renewed sense of freedom she is feeling under the influence of her new and mysterious companion, En is forced to discover a dark truth about her ex-lover, Priest. It seems the boundaries of spirituality and her world as she knows it are beginning to blur. Written and drawn by alt-pop phenomenon Lights, Skin & Earth ties directly into her next full-length album, released in Fall 2017 on Warner Bros. Records.

The demons bent on destroying rock 'n' roll via a wave of soft rock laced with murderous messages have declared all-out war on the world. With a huge show scheduled at the Hollywood Bowl and a massive crowd of willing victims, KISS and Vampirella will storm the stage in a jam of violence and rock so loud that Los Angeles will never be the same.
