HORDE HC GN
AUG191495
(W) Marguerite Bennett (A/CA) Leila Leiz
After the death of her father, Ruby Ando tries to reconnect with her estranged and isolated mother, whose hoarder house is a nightmare labyrinth of secrets and dangers. All the love Ruby was never shown she sees her mother lavish on her treasures and trinkets, the possessions that possess her. But when Ruby desperately tries to free her mother, the house wages war, ensnar-ing both women within its maze. Brought to hideous and twisted life by a mother's love, the "Horde" is determined to purge Ruby from the collection-or see her join it forever.

Brought to life by Marguerite Bennett (ANIMOSITY, DC's Bombshells, Batwoman) and Leila Leiz (ALTERS, Nvrlnd), HORDE is a haunting, housebound horror story about the things we let control us.

DARK ARK AFTER FLOOD #1 CVR A DOE
AUG191496
(W) Cullen Bunn (A/CA) Juan Doe
THE EPIC SERIES RETURNS!

Two arks were built to survive the Flood. One was filled with the creatures of the natural world. The other was populated by…everything else.

Now that the denizens of the DARK ARK have beaten Noah's Ark to land, a new so-cietal order must be created – one based on the rule of monsters. Khalee, a new sorceress, ventures to maintain order amidst the chaos, but her otherworldly mas-ters have a different task in mind. She must devise a way to bring Noah's Ark to the monsters…because the beasts must feed.

From writer Cullen Bunn (UNHOLY GRAIL, BROTHERS DRACUL, WITCH HAMMER, Deadpool, Venom) and artist Juan Doe (ANIMOSITY: THE RISE, AMERICAN MONSTER, WORLD READER) comes an even more sinister tale of biblical proportions!

SHOPLIFTERS WILL BE LIQUIDATED #1 CVR A SIMEONE

AUG191499
(W) Patrick Kindlon (A/CA) Stefano Simeone
The largest retailer in the world requires the best-trained loss prevention staff, and Security Officer Nussbaum defends the company interests at any cost. Life, human rights, rational thought are all secondary concerns. But his world is upended when he finds a society living under the retail outlet – a culture that challenges his no-tions about consumerism and sense of self. Is he ready for the message? Imagine Judge Dredd working for Amazon, and you've got a hint of what you're in for.

From Patrick Kindlon (PATIENCE! CONVICTION! REVENGE!) and Stefano Simeone (CLANKILLERS) comes SHOPLIFTERS WILL BE LIQUIDATED-a satirical take on the consumer society.

MIDNIGHT VISTA #2

AUG191501
(W) Eliot Rahal (A) Clara Meath (CA) Juan Doe
It's the news story of the century! Oliver Flores – the kid on the face of every milk carton in New Mex-ico – has been found.

Recovering at the hospital, Oliver is finally able to reveal where he's been for the last nineteen years: Along with his stepfather, he was abducted by aliens. And the only real problem with that is…no one believes him. Not the detectives from his case, not the doctors who treated him, not even his biologi-cal dad. They're all convinced Oliver is suffering from massive trauma.

Meanwhile, no one seems to notice the suspicious Strangers in Black trying to silence Oliver for good.

Based on a true story from writer Eliot Rahal (HOT LUNCH SPECIAL), with out-of-this-world art from Clara Meath, MIDNIGHT VISTA will make you believe in little grey men.

LAST SPACE RACE TP VOL 01

AUG191502
(W) Peter Calloway (A) Alex Shibao
It started as an anomaly. An outlier in the noise that's so common in astronomical data. But
the truth sends the United States-and the world-careening into what will become humanity's
LAST SPACE RACE.

Leading the effort for the United States is one man, Sasha Balodis. A fun-loving tech
billionaire turned aerospace titan, Sasha's seemingly perfect life has been gripped by recent
tragedy. Building and launching the most expensive, most ambitious and most important
project in history-well, it gives him something to live for again.

There's only one thing standing in his way: his arch-rival and chief aerospace competitor,
Roger Freeman.

Written by Peter Calloway (TV's Legion, Cloak & Dagger, Under the Dome) and drawn by
Alex Shibao (Independence Day), THE LAST SPACE RACE is an imaginative investigation
into wonder, hope and humanity's grandest purpose-a truly original story AfterShock
couldn't be more fired up to tell.

The popularity contest of life is exposed when the remaining guests realize they're being hunted down in the order of their social media ranking.

Now, the killer dubbed "Hashtag" isn't the only predator – in order to survive, your fellow guest may turn out to be just as dangerous.

Written and drawn by AfterShock's very own Juan Doe (DARK ARK, AMERICAN MON-STER, WORLD READER), BAD RECEPTION is a searing horror story that doubles as a topical, satirical critique on society's obsession with technology, social media and the cult of celebrity.

AUG191507
(W) Garth Ennis (A/CA) Goran Sudzuka
FBI Special Agents Shaw and McGregor find their reality twisting once more, plunging them into an entirely new dimension of terror. Their guide is Paul Carnahan, the child-killer whose crimes they sought to punish, a man known to be dead and buried. As this all-too-human monster tells his story, the pair begin to understand the web of guilt and evil that has them in its grip – a truth that will demand a dreadful price from both.

Stricken with her own memories of wrongdoing, Deputy-director Driscoll struggles to reach the agents under her command, only to realize that her crimes may already have sealed their fate. Carnahan holds the key – but what now looks out from behind his eyes is a great deal more than just a murderer. Old sins and ancient lies combine to herald a terrifying new dawn for all man-kind, in the second and final volume of A Walk Through Hell.

Written by Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys, JIMMY'S BASTARDS) and drawn by Goran Sudzuka (Y: The Last Man, Hellblazer) Volume two collects the last arc of this modern horror epic, issues #6-12.

AUG191508
(W) Garth Ennis (A/CA) Russell Braun
Jimmy Regent, Britain's number one super-spy, has got it all: intrigue, adventure, a li-cense to shoot whoever he likes and beautiful women falling at his feet. He also has a new partner who isn't quite as impressed by him as all other women appear to be. But now there's a price to pay for Jimmy's multiple romantic conquests – the results of which are about to come calling in the worst possible way…

With Jimmy triggered into his safe space by the ghastly revelations of his evil progeny, his part-ner Nancy discovers the truth behind our hero's gruesome fate – but as Jimmy bounces off the walls of a good old-fashioned rubber room, Nancy realizes she's going to have to handle the bad guys solo.
