"Firefly spoke to so many people at the time because of the themes it dealt with and the way it allowed characters to deal with them, and those themes are even more relevant today: found family, identity, and the emotional toll of resistance, to name a few. Our job is to craft stories that will be exciting and rewarding for Firefly fans that have been with these characters from the beginning, but also to introduce it to a new audience. We want to cement Firefly as a pop-culture touchstone, enduring yet modern, in the tradition of other perennial sci-fi epics that are still teaching us about ourselves."

"Bond's mission is to track down a Russian smuggler who's trying to deliver a mysterious silver briefcase to a terrorist organization known as DRU. But there's another secret agent on the job — an incredibly dangerous Korean assassin who wears a distinctive bowler hat that might just remind readers of the classic Bond villain Oddjob.

But our new mystery man is a new character with a distinct personality and mission. He's just as ruthless and skilled as the original Oddjob. But he's an even greater challenge to Bond, with his own personal stake in the game. If Bond's driven by professionalism, our new man's driven by passion, which makes him unpredictable, dangerous, and huge amount of fun. He might end up being Bond's most lethal enemy — or most compelling rival...

...We're telling an espionage story with a great mystery and plenty of twists and turns, so we're stress-testing it at every stage to make all of the big reveals and thrills pay off in the best of ways."

William Gibson’s Alien 3 #1

Dark Horse Comics

Johnnie Christmas, William Gibson, Tamra Bonvillain, Johnnie Christmas

This is the official adaptation of the original screenplay for Alien 3, written by William Gibson, the award-winning science fiction author of the cyberpunk cult classic Neuromancer. You'll see familiar characters and places - but not all is the same in this horrifying Cold War thriller!

After the deadly events of the film Aliens, the spaceship Sulaco carrying the sleeping bodies of Ripley, Hicks, Newt, and Bishop are intercepted by the Union of Progressive Peoples. What the U.P.P forces don't expect is another deadly passenger that is about to unleash chaos between two governmental titans intent on developing the ultimate cold war weapon of mass destruction.

Adaptation and art by Johnnie Christmas - co-creator of Margaret Atwood's Angel Catbird and creator of Image Comics' Firebug.

Featuring some of the most famous characters in the Alien film canon: Hicks, Bishop, Newt, and Ripley.

"When your first contracted screenplay (or screenplay of any kind, in my case) isn’t produced, but the film is eventually made with a different screenplay, retaining nothing of yours but a barcode tattoo on the back of a character’s neck, the last thing you ever expect is to see yours beautifully adapted and realized, decades later, in a different medium, by an artist of Johnnie Christmas' caliber. It’s a wonderful experience, and I have no doubt that Johnnie's version, which adheres almost entirely to the script, delivers more of my material to the audience than any feature film would have been likely to do."

Outer Darkness #1

John Layman, Afu Chan

Mankind has colonized the galaxy, but during our interstellar travels, we discovered a terrifying secret out in the Outer Darkness of space. Join Captain Joshua Rigg and the crew of the starship Charon as they encounter demonic possessions, hauntings, cosmic horror, and more!

All-star writer John Layman (Chew) and artist Afu Chan (Immortal Iron Fists) are ready to let you know that outer space is terrifying.

In Shops: Nov 07, 2018

"Thanks to Afu Chan and Skybound, we’ve succeeded in making Outer Darkness as perfect and beautiful as I’d envisioned it to be since finishing Chew. I’m so unbelievably excited that Outer Darkness is being announced to the world. I’m absolutely in love with this book."

Uncanny X-Men #1

Marvel Comics

The Children of the Atom are back!

A new ongoing series kicks off with a 10-part weekly epic, the flagship X-Men series that started it all is back and better than ever!

Starting with a mysterious and tragic disappearance, the X-Men are drawn into what might be... their final adventure?!

X-Fan favorite writers Ed Brisson (Extermination), Matthew Rosenberg (Phoenix Resurrection) and Kelly Thompson (Mr and Mrs X) and all-star artists Mahmud Asrar (X-Men Red), R.B. Silva (X-Men Blue), Yildiray Cinar (Weapon X) and Pere Pérez (Rogue and Gambit) join forces to bring you... "X-Men Disassembled"?!

In Shops: Nov 14, 2018

"Anyone who's read any of my work knows that I love to put characters through the wringer, and Uncanny X-Men will not be an exception. We're pushing some of these characters in ways that they've never been pushed before. Characters who maybe haven't had the spotlight in the past are going to have to step up and prove that they deserve to be on this team...

Because this is an X-Men book, there's going to be lots of internal drama, which I think is going to cause this team to go off in some very interesting directions ...

This book will keep you guessing at every turn. There are going to be some pretty big players you haven't seen in a while doing some downright crazy stuff ...

I think that there's at least two 'holy crap' moments in every issue. Readers are in for a hell of a ride."

Green Lantern #1

DC Comics

Grant Morrison, Liam Sharp

Superstar writer Grant Morrison (Batman, All-Star Superman) returns to DC alongside red-hot artist Liam Sharp (The Brave and the Bold, Wonder Woman) to launch a new, ongoing series: The Green Lantern!

In the debut issue, when Earth's space cop, Hal Jordan, encounters an alien hiding in plain sight, it sets off a chain of events that rocks the Green Lantern Corps - and quite possibly the Multiverse at large - to its very core. There's an inter-galactic conspiracy afoot, as well as a traitor in the GL Corps' ranks, so strap in for more mind-bending adventures in this masterpiece in the making.

In Shops: Nov 07, 2018

"There are also very specific references to characters from years and years ago. When I was initially reading the script, I was just constantly on the internet. Some of these are so obscure that the referencing goes really deep. You have to really look to find it. He [Grant Morrison] knows his stuff.

I love that he’s not trying to reboot it or start from scratch. He’s trying to be really respectful to everything that’s come before. I think long-term Green Lantern fans are going to have a lot of fun with all of the Easter eggs that are buried in there — specific references to specific scenes. There’s a scene that very much echoes the Abin Sur origin. It’s not a rework of the origin, but it echoes it intentionally.

I know Grant wanted it to feel like if you’ve never read Green Lantern before, you could pick this up and start here."
