STEPHEN
FML #4
Writer: Kelly Sue DeConnick
Artist: David Lopez
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Cover Price $4.99
Release Date: February 26, 2025
"8 Minute Murders" buzzes with theories about the dead man at the Witch's House, as the city plans the structure's long-overdue demolition. In an effort to save it, Glory and Savvy dive deeper into its history, while Lydia, our polar bear detective, seeks truths. Meanwhile, Riley turns to his mom with his trauma and the two reconnect through their art. This issue is a darker turn for the series, but the return of Dad from an absurd job in LA adds a light-hearted twist, and the introduction of Susan, the mysterious new assistant linked to past secrets, moves the plot along. FML Issue 4 sees the middle-aged riot grrl coven reconvene and struggle with their culpability for the murder, while the fires close in on all sides.

BLADE FORGER #1
Writer: Inaki Miranda, Roy Miranda
Artist: Inaki Miranda
Publisher: Mad Cave Studios
Cover Price: $4.99
Release Date: March 5, 2025
The discovery of CORUM, a never seen before energy source, led to a bloody world war for its control. After years of destruction, the Lords of the Lands agreed to negotiate a ceasefire for lasting peace. The BLADE FORGERS TREATY was born from that meeting. This treaty established that the mining of Corum would be centralized through one government, led by a neutral Emperor. The Emperor would have to be a BLADE FORGER, a mystical swordsman, and claim the title in a tournament called The Tournament of the Five Rings. Every five years Blade Forgers from every corner of the Empire would fight for the possibility of becoming the new Emperor. A young Blade Forger named Owada challenges the Emperor in the name of the forsaken people. This is the story of what happens next.
