LOCAL MAN: GOLD #1

Release Date: August 30, 2023

Jack comes face to face with his explosive past when his superhero alter ego is blasted into modern-day Farmington by a massive cosmic event.

Now, Local Man has to get his younger, more extreme self back to his own time before he ruins what little life Jack has left. But it won’t be easy-Crossjack isn’t the only one who’s landed in the wrong era, and they’re both being hunted by a vengeful hero from the past.

RODRIGO AND RAND
RUMPUS ROOM #1
Writer: Mark Russell
Artist: Ramon Rosanas
Publisher: AWA Studios
Cover Price: $3.99
Release Date: September 19, 2023
Meet Bob Schrunk, technocrat billionaire, collector of bad art, and victim of a hideous skin condition that can only be treated with a highly illicit and definitely not FDA-approved face cream that must be…harvested. From human beings. Bob isn’t unfair, though. He’s happy to let his guests select who will be next to be sent from the Rumpus Room to their doom. There’s just one thing Bob doesn’t know: One of his current guests is an undercover cop—and she’s carrying a concealed gun.
