WE ALL WEAR MASKS…BUT MALLORY HEADLEY'S HAVE A LIFE OF THEIR OWN! Mallory Headley has always seen the magic in the world, even and perhaps especially in places others might consider strange or frightful. And in 1950s Hollywood, she's brought that vision to the big screen working on Galaxy Pictures' monster flicks, creating creature masks as a less-than-valued employee of the famed Leonard family's special effects house. Each mask has been the star of their own movie--the Thing from the Muck, Baba Yaga the witch, and Koschei the vampire--yet Mallory's never gotten due credit for her craftsmanship. But Mallory has another secret she's carefully guarded her whole life long: The masks she makes come alive in her presence. While most of the world sees them as terrifying fictional monsters that haunt the imagination long after the credits roll, to Mallory they are her only true and very real family. And Mallory will discover the lengths to which she'll go to protect that family when someone breaks into her trailer and violently kidnaps the masks, sending her down a path of vengeance both fantastical and brutal.

• David Lapham (cover_artist)
New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (BRZRKR) and Eisner Award-winning legend David Lapham (STRAY BULLETS) return to their seminal series of superhero deconstruction with THE HERO TRADE: THE BUTLER. Told entirely through splash pages, this brutal tale marries the grit and grime of Frank Miller's SIN CITY with the psychological depth of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' WATCHMEN in an explosive new one-shot that dares to seek justice in an unjust world.
Every night, THE WATCH takes out the trash. Trouble is, somebody's gotta clean up the mess.
Another sleepless night spent knee-deep in the gutter, ripping scumbags off the streets and stuffing them into the body bags they deserve. Because if there's one thing THE WATCH believes in, it's justice -- permanent justice.
THE BUTLER once stood shoulder to shoulder with THE WATCH, his partner in the war on crime. Until he realized THE WATCH is no hero -- just a loose-cannon psycho who takes sick pleasure in playing judge, jury and executioner, no matter the collateral damage.
Now, THE BUTLER is through taking orders. He knows THE WATCH inside and out, and he'll stop at nothing to beat him at his own game -- getting the criminals behind bars before his former partner can put them six feet under.

SOME REBELLIONS NEVER DIE! Traitor. Rogue. Revenant. Rebel. He’s been known by many names . . . and now modern masters Michael E. Uslan (the blockbuster executive producer behind the multibillion dollar–grossing BATMAN feature film franchise—from Tim Burton’s BATMAN to Christopher Nolan’s THE DARK KNIGHT and beyond) and Steven S. DeKnight (showrunner of Netflix’s DAREDEVIL and Starz’s SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND) join riveting artist Sebastián Cabrol (EC’s CATACOMB OF TORMENT) to chronicle the fiery origin of the once-forgotten revolutionary who first watered liberty’s tree with the blood of tyrants! Once, the Reverend Doctor Christopher Syn waged a guerrilla insurgency across 18th-century England—justice for the cruel deaths of his family at the hands of King George III and the rest of England’s persecuted and oppressed. Hidden behind a terrifying mask to keep his true identity concealed, Syn’s rebellion soon became legend, inspiring copycat uprisings across the English countryside as the “Scarecrow of Romney Marsh” became a beacon of resistance against his nation’s mad monarch. But that’s where history’s chronicle of the Scarecrow’s reign is about to go violently, terribly wrong . . . Now Dr. Syn has been captured, tried, and condemned for his crimes. Forced into death by exile in the British Empire’s most inhospitable outpost—the American penal colony known as “Georgia”—Syn has found himself imprisoned alongside a hardscrabble crew of his king’s most notorious “undesirables.” With a mismatched team of allies fueled by the same burning vengeance for justice at his side, can England’s most dangerous revolutionary finally bring the empire down in an inferno of roaring flames . . . and could this backwater collection of pestilence-ridden colonies called America provide the spark? The year is 1775. And Dr. Syn’s war is about to begin. INGLORIOUS BASTARDS meets V FOR VENDETTA in a shocking twist of alternative history, as Uslan, DeKnight, and Cabrol resurrect an unrelenting freedom fighter for a new age!
