THE DEEP DARK GN
(W/A) Molly Knox Ostertag
Magdalena Herrera is about to graduate high school, but she already feels like an adult with serious responsibilities: caring for her ailing grandmother; working a part-time job; clandestine makeouts with a girl who has a boyfriend. And then there’s her secret, which pulls her into the basement each night, drains her of energy, and leaves her bleeding. A secret that could hurt and even kill if it ever got out-like it did once before.
So Mags keeps her head down, isolated in her small desert community. That is, until her childhood friend Nessa comes back to town, bringing vivid memories of the past, an intoxicating glimpse of the future, and a secret of her own. Mags won’t get attached, of course. She’s always been strong enough to survive without anyone’s help. But when the darkness starts to close in on them both, Mags will have to drag her secret into the daylight, and choose between risking everything… or having nothing left to lose.

RIFTERS #1
(W) Brian Posehn & Joe Trohman (A/CA) Chris Johnson
Please, Saran-Wrap your ass, because you’re about to projectile-shit yourself right into the wild world of ‘Rifters’, where ‘Time Cop’ collides with ‘Law & Order’, filtered through the Stupid McSmartsalot-Einstein lens of ‘Mr. Show’. Fenton and Geller are a couple of part-time Wisenheimers, full-time vice time-cops who suck at rule-following but excel at busting time-travel crimes. Unfortunately, their daily grind involves tedious police work-like chasing down douchebag influencers hellbent on live-streaming illegal transtemporal trips to 1920s Chicago to steal primo bootleg hooch. However, in a twist of fate, our heroes find themselves thrust into the heart of an inter-time serial homicide mystery, but not before things change, forcing our pair into the crosshairs of potentially lethal consequences. Get ready for a high-octane, double-illegal adventure where the only sure thing is that ‘Rifters’ is rewriting the rulebook on time-travel tales!
