Here we have some exclusive extended previews of Dynamite's books shipping this week: Army of Darkness #2, Red Sonja: Vulture's Circle #1, Shaft #2 and John Carter: Warlord of Mars #3. And that's only 4 of the books they have coming out this week.

Army of Darkness #2
Cullen Bunn (w) Larry Watts (a) Gabriel Hardman, Tim Seeley, Jay Shaw (c)

Ashley Williams–space explorer! The Chosen One has been shanghaied to the depths of space, and now he faces the forces of darkness on board a high-tech deathtrap… er… we mean space station. With the otherworldy power of the Necronomicon coursing through the station's computer systems, the Deadite evil is stronger… and stranger… than ever before!

Red Sonja: Vulture's Circle #1
Nancy A. Collins, Luke Lieberman (w) Fritz Casas (a) Jay Anacleto, Walter Geovani, Lucio Parrillo (c)

From shadow-haunted Stygia emerges an evil undreamt of by even the most depraved minds: the demi-god called Sutekh. Born of an unspeakable blood ritual, he is the half-human progeny of the ancient serpent-god Set, sent forth to enslave Mankind in the name of his father and return the world to a primordial swamp. The new-born Sutekh leads a fearful army and uses powerful sorcery and a menagerie of demonic war-beasts to break the will of his mortal enemies as he marches forth to conquer the kingdoms of the Hyborian Age, defeating foe after foe — until he crosses the path of an older, battle-scarred Red Sonja, who has exchanged the life of a mercenary for running a school for sword-maidens. Can Red Sonja and her prize students, Lyla and Xoana, defeat the evil Sutekh and his private army of ghouls and devils with the help of the renegade Stygian priest, Sefkh, or are the Hyborian Kingdoms doomed to fall before the pitiless "Son of Set"?

Shaft #2
David Walker (w) Bilquis Evely (a) Denys Cowan w/ Bill Sienkiewicz, Francesco Francavilla, Sanford Greene (c)

Every great detective has their first case. For John Shaft, that first case seems simple enough. But tracking down a missing person for his girlfriend quickly turns into a matter of life and death. With the bodies piling up, Shaft realizes he's in over his head. But can he stay alive long enough to figure out what is going on, or will his first case be the death of John Shaft?

John Carter: Warlord of Mars #3
Ron Marz (w) Abhishek Malsuni (a) Ed Benes, Bart Sears, Emanuela Lupacchino, Abhishek Malsuni (c)

Alien invaders have conquered John Carter's adopted world of Barsoom. John Carter endeavors to reach the occupied city of Helium, where his beloved Dejah Thoris is held captive by the invaders. But Dejah Thoris is no princess-in-peril, as she hatches a plot to escape from her captors and lead her people in bloody rebellion! Classic planetary adventure in tradition of grand master Edgar Rice Burroughs!
