Check out the awesome second issues that dropped this week!
NICK FURY #2
BANG ZOOM, TO THE MOON!! FURY’s next out of this world mission lands him on a secret moon base! But will this be one small step for S.H.I.E.L.D.… or a giant leap for HYDRA?!
ELEANOR & the EGRET #2
What kind of thief leaves a single feather at the scene of the crime? Perhaps one that has a talking, painting-eating, oversized Egret as a pet—a pet that gets more oversized the more paintings he eats! Sounds fun, right? Except for some of the people now determined to stop this thief, who is anything but!
From John Layman, appetizing writer of Chew, and Sam Keith, captivating creator & artist of The Maxx and co-creator of Sandman, comes the series that HAD to be told at AfterShock.
ROSE #2
Rose is shaken when she discovers the depth of Drucilla’s depravity. While she loses faith in herself, her allies have a chance encounter that raises questions of exactly who and what Rose is. Can Rose gain back their trust, or will they all be undone by a darkness that threatens to consume everything in its path?
FAILSAFE #2
Forced out of exile, legendary insurgent hunter John Ravane meets the team assigned to help him eliminate a new breed of super soldier. Facing down the truth, Ravane struggles to embrace his mission, leaving a contingent of escaped insurgents the perfect opportunity to launch a raid on their command center. Are Ravane and his team ready for the onslaught?
KIM REAPER #2
Guiding souls to the afterlife doesn’t always go smoothly, especially when SOMEONE (Becka!) interrupts the job. Now, Kim and Becka must contend with a very irate and very uncooperative customer. The pair need to hatch a plan to complete Kim’s allotment of souls without interruption, or Kim may lose her job–and potentially her life!
KIM REAPER #1, by Sarah Graley
Like most university students, Kim works a part-time job to make ends meet. UNLIKE most university students, Kim’s job is pretty dang cool: she’s a grim reaper, tasked with guiding souls into the afterlife. Like most university students, Becka has a super intense unrequited crush. UNLIKE most university students, Becka’s crush is on a beautiful gothic angel that frequents the underworld. Of course, she doesn’t know that. Unaware of the ghoulish drama she’s about to step into, Becka finally gathers up the courage to ask Kim on a date! But when she falls into a ghostly portal and interrupts Kim at her job, she sets off a chain of events that will pit the two of them against angry cat-dads, vengeful zombies, and perhaps even the underworld itself. But if they work together, they just might make it… and maybe even get a kiss in the bargain.
It’s NCBD! New releases are waiting for you right here!
