So, Dynamite are publishing more new books today than Marvel. And two are launches, Legenderry and The Twilight Zone. And each has a bevy of retailer-exclusive covers below…. does your store have one to itself?

FC • 32 pages • $3.99 • Teen+

The Twilight Zone, Issue One: Trevor Richmond is a Wall Street investor who embezzled millions and is about to tank the economy. Again. Desperate to avoid the consequences for his actions, he goes to Expedited Services, Inc., which offers to help him disappear and enjoy a life of leisure in a new life. But what exactly is this new life, how much is freedom worth, and what happens to the old life when someone else shows up to claim it? This is the first installment of three interlocking stories that will push the boundaries of The Twilight Zone into new and uncharted territory, a journey that will travel into the past and the future, into murder and revenge and the sunrise of nuclear Armageddon. From J. Michael Straczynski, Hugo-winning creator of Babylon 5, Thor, Changeling, and World War Z as well, as the 1988 Twilight Zone.

We start in the Big City, protected by Vampirella and the Green Hornet. A scarlet clad woman of mystery rushes into a bar, pursued by a team of assassins. The terror that breaks loose there and then will eventually lead (in the issues that follow) to The Phantom's Jungle, Flash Gordon's space age town of Landing, battles in the sky with Captain Victory, and so much more, until finally, we arrive in the Monstrous Lands, protected by… well, nobody.

FC • 32 pages • $3.99 • Teen+

Eisner and Harvey Award winning cartoonist Roger Langridge brings you his own, all-ages take on cult favorite EVIL ERNIE! Ernest Fairchild is the most evil kid on the block. Why, he never eats his vegetables… his library books are sometimes three weeks late… and he once xeroxed his own butt! Can Mister Smiley, his annoying yet strangely ineffectual conscience, make him change his ways? And are Daddy Fairchild's blank eyes somehow related to his peculiar odor, rotting flesh and appetite for human brains? Get a copy for yourself and one for the kids… it's wall-to-wall zombie fun for all the family! And if that isn't enough, each Li'l book comes with a two-page activity sheet!

Bullets, blades and bombs? No sweat. Vampirella is a near-unstoppable force…as long as she doesn't fall in love. Can V discover the truth about her former southern flame, and solve the mystery of his murdered fiancée? Or will she fall for his charms…and sacrifice everything?
