The Spider #1
Story: CJ Henderson, Art: J. Anthony Kosar
Cover: Gary Carbon
40pgs, b/w, $3.50
The first ever on-going Spider series!
The Spider: the most violent and ruthless of all crime fighters…more just than the law, more dangerous than the underworld…hated, feared, and wanted by both. A cloaked, fanged, borderline crazy denizen of the dark force-feeding hard justice with a pair of ‘45’s! Senseless slaughter accompanies a new string of bold and audacious heists, and only the Spider can stop it…but at a price so steep, can even the Spider hope to pay it? A full length Spider comic novella thriller, PLUS a new Ghost Zero featurette!
***RETAILER INCENTIVE: for every 4 copies of the Spider #1 purchased, receive one free copy!

A new maxi series of one shot comic novellas, with each issue by a different creative team telling a tale of one of the 21 Phantoms!
Join the 5th Phantom, his lady The Pirate Queen, and their ‘skeleton crewâ€, as they helm a ghost ship and battle broadsides with the evil (and aptly named) Captain Devil. Things go terribly wrong, which sends the Phantom on a chase across the Seven Seas , as well as to the heights of London’s high society and the slums of the East End!
Rotten #3
Story: Mark Rahner, Robert Horton
Art: Dan Dougherty
32pgs, color, $3.99
Our new ZOMBIEÂ series continues!
Time and hope run out for injured Agent Wade as an embattled family prepares to feed him to a “sick” daughter. Agent Flynn zeroes in on the town as it erupts from the controversy surrounding the monstrous girl. Hair-raising suspense and queasy deja vu in the old West!

Will this issue ship in July or will it have a July cover date and ship sooner? That stuff always gets me mixed-up.
