After the death of Ellie's uncle Alfie, an infamous magician and occult detective, the 72 devils of the Ars Goetia are mysteriously freed from their infernal realm. It's now up to her to track down each of these demons and damn them right back to Hell... using holy water, conjuration, or just her trusty, rusty claw hammer.
Meanwhile Dora, a detective traumatized by the same events as Ellie, is suspicious of the untimely death of Alfie.

Alfie's meddling made more than just the mortal realm a nightmare, so it's up to Bloody El to set things right... with only eternity at stake.

Tumblr media
Ghost Book GN - Remy Lai
Twelve years ago, the boy and the girl lived. But one was supposed to die. July Chen sees ghosts. But her dad insists ghosts aren't real. So she pretends they don't exist. Which is incredibly difficult during Hungry Ghost month, when the Gates of the Underworld open and ghosts run amok in the living world. When July saves a boy ghost from being devoured by a hungry ghost, he becomes her first ever friend. Except William is not a ghost. He's a wandering soul wavering between life and death. As the new friends set off to return William to his body, they unearth a ghastly truth-for William to live, July must die. Inspired by Chinese mythology, this dark yet hopeful tale about friendship, sacrifice, and the unseen ghost world is a dazzling heir to Studio Ghibli classics.
Tumblr media
Hexware TP Vol 1 - Tim Seeley, Zulema Lavina & Mirka Andolfo
Why sell your soul...when you can buy a new one?
In a corporate-ruled city where class inequality is greater than ever, a desperate, lonely populace is drawn to neo-spiritualism and hedge magic. When their teenage daughter is murdered, the Marks family is left asking the gods what they did to deserve this. But their android maid, Which-Where, has a different approach. Perhaps if she asked the devil...
Now, to pay the price, a machine with the soul of a teenage girl must hunt down souls who have escaped from hell. But on the way, she and her only friend, Ren, discover a vast conspiracy threatening to burn the last civilization to the ground. Can Which-Where keep her soul with her humanity on the line?
Tumblr media

General Park-head of Sky Corps Academy-must assemble a team of heroes to protect humankind from alien invasions, and Stanford Yu, Maya Sanchez, Frank Olivetti, and Park's own daughter Olivia may have been pulled into the role by fate... as they are Earth's best hope.
But there is more to their relationships with the symbiotic, sentient giant Robos they pilot... and the alien threat of The Sharg is far more epic and widespread than any could imagine!
While Mech Cadets makes a fresh debut for new readers and viewers, long-time fans can delight in having more adventures after the long awaited collection of Mech Cadets Book One!
Tumblr media
Oblivion Song Compendium TP - Robert Kirkman, Lorenzo De Felici, & Annalisa Leoni
The entire series, collected in a single volume for the first time!
A decade ago, 300,000 citizens of Philadelphia were suddenly lost in Oblivion. The government made every attempt to recover them, but after many years, they gave up. Nathan Cole...won't. He makes daily trips, risking his life to try and rescue those still living in the apocalyptic hellscape of Oblivion. But maybe...Nathan is looking for something else? Why can't he resist the siren call of the Oblivion Song?
Tumblr media
Paul Bunyan: The Invention Of An American Legend GN - Noah Van Sciver & Marlena Myles
Did you know that a mainstay of American folk culture was in fact created as an advertising ploy? Few people realize that Paul Bunyan, the legendary lumberjack, and his blue ox are the product of corporate marketing by a highly industrialized industry. Cartoonist Noah Van Sciver shows us the myth creation as real life marketing man extraordinaire W.B. Laughead spins ever more wondrous tall tales. Van Sciver's story is bracketed by rich contributions from contemporary Native artists and storytellers with a very different connection to the land that the Bunyan myths often conceal. Readers will see how a lumberjack hero, a quintessential American fantasy, captures the imagination but also serves to paper over the seizure of homeland from First Peoples and the laying bare of America's northern forests. It's a tall tale with deep roots... in profit-making!
Tumblr media
Plush TP - Doug Wagner, Daniel Hillyard & Rico Renzi
Serial-killing, cannibalistic furries! PLASTIC and VINYL creators DOUG WAGNER & DANIEL HILLYARD are back. This time, they've recruited colorist extraordinaire RICO RENZI for their disturbing "neon-horror" spin on fursuit psychopaths and bizarre love. In PLUSH, Devin Fulcher is coerced into attending his first furry convention. When he accidentally happens upon a group of furries devouring a human, the insanity begins. Do they just want Devin for dinner...or something much more wicked?
Tumblr media
Skeleanor The Decomposer HC - Emily Ettlinger
An instantly charming and vivid chapter-book graphic novel, starring a music-obsessed skeleton, Skeleanor, and her quest to find her sound (and her confidence) by debut creator Emily Ettlinger. Skeleanor loves music more than life itself. There's just one problem: She has a bit more rattle than rhythm at the moment. No matter what type of instrument she plays-from the fiddle to the xylobone-she always seems to scare the people of Little Casketon away. But with the Little Casketon Summershine festival coming up, and the town band missing a player, maybe Skeleanor (along with the help of her best friend, Batima) could show people her skills and finally take center stage.
Tumblr media
Summer Ghost The Complete Collection GN - Otsuichi, Yoshi Inomi & loundraw
Based on the critically acclaimed animated short film about three high schoolers' supernatural coming-of-age! There's an urban legend that claims the ghost of a young woman will appear if you set off fireworks in a certain abandoned airport. Three high school students are united by their shared desire to meet this ghost-and each of them is close to death. What happens when they come together one fateful summer night as the boundary between life and death grows thin?
Tumblr media
The Summer Hikaru Died GN Vol 1 - Mokumokuren
Two boys lived in a village: Yoshiki and Hikaru. The two did everything together...until the day Hikaru was encompassed by a mysterious light. That was when everything changed-Hikaru most of all. Yoshiki still wishes from the bottom of his heart to always stay by his side...but is there even a Hikaru left to be with?
Tumblr media
The Madness #1 (of 6) - J. Michael Straczynski, Aco, & David Lorenzo
In THE MADNESS, Sarah Ross has been using her power as a thief, stealing from the rich and...well, keeping it. Until the day she stole from the wrong person, a highly placed official who pressures the government to assassinate her. The plot, aided by so-called "good" superheroes sponsored by the government, misses her but wipes out her family. Driven mad by grief, and laser-focused on revenge for the murder of her family, Sarah and a hidden side of her personality - an imaginary friend who may be more real than she believes - goes after these superpowered operatives determined to take her revenge, at any cost.
Tumblr media
Us TP - Sara Soler, Silvia Perea Labayen & Joamette Gil
Us is Sara and Diana's love story, as well as the story of Diana's gender transition. Full of humor, heartache, and the everyday triumphs and struggles of identity, this graphic memoir speaks to changing conceptions of the world as well as the self, at the same time revealing that some things don't really have to change.
Tumblr media
Vampirella/Dracula RAGE #1 - Christopher Priest, Christian Rosado & Lucio Parrillo
NO MORE MS. NICE VAMPIRE!
They're coming for her baby. They're going to murder him before her eyes. And then she's going to kill every last damn one of them. Picking up where Vampirella: Year One left off! In an unprecedented turn for our titular heroine, Vampirella/Dracula: Rage presents Vampirella as you've never seen her before. Inconsolable grief yields to irreducible rage as Vampirella tracks the cultists who threaten her son across Europe and America, unsettling political and economic alliances and unraveling the global network of the baby's father - Dracula.
In a macabre exchange of norms, it is Dracula, the Lord of Vampires, hunting the elusive Vampiri, trying to save Vampirella from herself - or, more precisely, to save her from becoming like him. To this end, Dracula recruits Victory, once Vampirella's closest friend, to act as his ersatz Renfield while they try (and fail) to anticipate the next moves of a woman whose anger has now completely consumed her.
Tumblr media
WYND Book Three: The Throne In The Sky GN - James Tynion IV & Michael Dialynas
The land of Esseriel is a darker and more dangerous place than ever, as tensions between the Human and Faerie realms build to the brink of war. Could Wynd be the only hope for peace?
Danger, betrayal, and even some romance confront our heroes at every turn, while elsewhere, the Duke makes murderous plans of his own. Things seem dire, but help from an unexpected figure might just be the lifeline Wynd and Merien need... even though the final battle draws near.
Whatcha checking out this week, Fantom Fam?

wynd (2020) #1-5
aaaaaaa i did it, i finally read the book that's been on the top of my to-read pile for literal years but i've been too scared to actually start reading because i'm weird & care too much about everything & if i didn't like it as much as i thought i was going to i would literally die (figuratively). aaaaaaaaaaaa
(spoilers hereafter)
my heart absolutely aches for wynd when he pleads that he just wants to be "normal." i think a big part of growing up is discovering that there's no such thing as "normal," and that that's okay, and once we realize that we can discover who WE want to be, and start working towards that.
i know not everyone gets even to this point, and i know the process of getting there can be painful. it's a kind of pain i haven't thought about in a long time, a pain that i moved past long ago… but it's a pain that's still very recognizable to me, very easy to relate to. and it's one that's conveyed quite well here.
seeing that pendulum swing the other way so dramatically, seeing wynd just absolutely SOAR (literally & figuratively) to save his friends... it was SO fucking good, you guys. i literally SHRIEKGASPED with surprise & joy when he swooped in with wings to save thorn.
the pacing is perfect. the art is amazing. the panels are big & clean, without a single one wasted. there is just something so incredibly satisfying about seeing so many people with such high levels of skill come together to make something this beautiful.
i am going to bed, and then i am starting book 2 LITERALLY TOMORROW MORNING.

wynd (2020) #6-10
i would like to live in the parallel universe where this is the james tynion iv title that no one will shut up about instead of something is killing the children, please. thank you.
(i really do need to get around to something is killing the children, though. i don't tend to read a lot of horror comics, but i think i trust tynion as much as any writer alive at this point, so.)
was book 1 tighter? yes. was there a bit more catharsis in its finale? also yes. but book 2 is also bigger & more ambitious. and it introduces some great new characters whose perspectives really add a lot.
i love this comic. i'm so glad i'm finally reading it.

Okay so I am reading a comic series called WYND by James Tynion IV who might be the greatest talent in the industry today.
Anyway it's a charming yet harrowing fantasy story about this kid named Wynd who is a magic little lad but every god damn time the character is on-panel I cannot stop thinking "this twink has Major Kusanagi hair."
