A just King and a fierce warrior on the battlefield, King Valen Brand was well liked by his people. However, when a necromancer bests him in battle and resurrects him as an undead monster, Valen not only looses his kingdom but also his soul! Rejected by his people, the former king sets out on a quest to restore what he has lost. Having written 28 Days Later and Robert E. Howard's Hawks of Outremer, Michael Alan Nelson is no stranger to zombies or fantasy in the comics field, so the book is sure to please readers of both genres.

IDW's new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has become a favorite for many readers! The hits keep coming as IDW follows in the original serie's footsteps with the release of the first of four issues in a new micro-series entitled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Raphael.

In X-Club #1, Dr. Nemesis, Madison Jeffries, Kavita Rao, and Danger's gesture a goodwill to humanity, a space elevator, is near completion when all heck breaks loose, casting mutants in a bad light once again.
