WRESTLE HEIST #1
Writer/Artist: Kyle Starks
Publisher: Image Comics
Cover Price: $3.99
Release Date: December 17, 2025
A former pro wrestler—who has a brush with death thanks to a crooked promoter—assembles a crew of fellow wrestlers he’s screwed over... to rob him blind during the biggest wrestling event of the year.
From the outrageous, action-packed mind of multi-time Eisner nominee KYLE STARKS (Peacemaker Tries Hard, Sexcastle, I Hate This Place), with eye-popping colors by VLADIMIR POPOV (Where Monsters Lie, Fearscape), comes a no-holds-barred heist caper packed with body slams and backstabs.

MARY SHELLEY - THE ETERNAL DREAM
Writer: Alessandro di Virgilio
Artist: Manuela Santoni
Publisher: Mad Cave Studios
Cover Price: $19.99
Release Date: January 13, 2026
Mary Shelley: The Eternal Dream is an expressively illustrated fictional account of the life of writer Mary Shelley, as told by her famous invention, Frankenstein’s monster. With cameos by a variety of other famous writers and historical figures, this graphic novel is perfect for fans of literary and feminist history.
The extraordinary life of the woman who created one of fiction’s most enduring characters: Frankenstein’s monster. Born at the turn of the 19th century to the famous philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft (forerunner of the feminist movement) and William Godwin (novelist and radical politician), Mary Shelley lived a life in constant flight from social conformity. Her struggle birthed a pop culture phenomenon. Now in print for the first time in English, Mary Shelley: The Eternal Dream chronicles Shelley’s relationships with other important artists and writers, including her eventual husband Percy Shelley, and the ‘butterfly effect’ of love, hardship, tragedy, and inspiration that led to the creation of the infamous monster.
