HELLBOY AND THE BPRD 1957: Falling Sky
Writer: Mike Mignola, Chris Roberson
Artist: Shawn Martinbrough
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Release Date: August 10, 2022
Cryptozoologist Woodrow "Woody" Ferrier joined the B.P.R.D. to find exciting and previously undocumented cryptids, but unfortunately, most of his cases end in disappointment. But a trip with Hellboy to small-town Virginia where a huge and mysterious creature stalks the woods might provide him with just the opportunity he's been waiting for!
Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and longtime collaborater Chris Roberson gives us a new tale from the world of Hellboy. Featuring art by Shawn Martinbrough, colors by Dave Stewart, and letters by Clem Robins.

SURVIVAL STREET #1
Writer: James Asmus/Jim Festante
Artist: Abylay Kussainov
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Cover Price: $3.99
Release Date: August 3, 2022
After an unbridled wave of corporations take over America, the country is left completely deregulated and effectively carved up into feudal states where billionaires and businesses make their own laws. Among the wreckage, mass privatization shuts down public broadcasting, forcing all the beloved edutainers out on the down and dirty streets. One group of them stick together, determined to keep helping kids across the country and do it by becoming an A-Team-esque band of mercenaries fighting for (And educating!) kids in the crumbling, corporate war zone of New Best America.
