SIXTEEN YEARS AGO, ATLAS LEFT HIS BROTHER BEHIND.

He told himself it was necessary.

He told himself he had no choice.

He told himself he could live with it.

HE WAS WRONG.

Now his brother is missing.

And finding him means confronting everything Atlas has spent the last sixteen years failing to bury.

But some things don't stay buried.

In his case, they're back with a vengeance.

🫠 HEAVY, our supernatural horror comic, is back with its soul-crushing second issue. Pre-order in the first 48 hours and get a FREE vinyl sticker included in your physical pledge!

❗️COVER REVEAL❗️
@cmccormack414 and @spicercolor joins issue 2 of our supernatural horror comic with a haunting new variant cover!

When the collective weight of the world's guilt reaches a fever pitch, the global population begins to vanish. In the chaos, the latch-key black sheep of the family, ATLAS, investigates the disappearance of the little brother he'd abandoned into the foster care system 16 years ago. As his search brings him closer to what he'd left behind, Atlas must find a way to counteract the mysterious force that now preys on the guilt of his past and reconnect with his memories of the boy he left behind.

Sometimes the thing haunting you isn't the past.

It's what the past has turned you into.

NYCC 2026 kept me smiling. Thanks to everyone who came through the Hivemind booth, to our brilliant friends who shared their newest creative projects with us, to @noksunyc for a dinner that will not soon be topped, to our friends at Wizards, Dark Horse, Magic, IDW, and to the city itself - you made an incredible home for this mob of weirdos this weekend. Here’s to next year… when we’ll have something very special to show you.

☄️ We're going back for another @thoughtbubblefestival! Meet me in 2000 AD HALL at table C28.

✍️ Known for crafting deeply emotional character focused stories, Trevor Fernandes-Lenkiewicz’s (@tfl_writes) creative voice resonates by blending personal struggle with genre rich narratives like Rise, Area 51: The Helix Project, and Minutes to Midnight: The Hour Between Life & Death. His work has been described as “emotionally charged, sharp, and personal” by The Comics Beat, “incredible” by The Work Print and “Like nothing else I’ve ever seen” by The Comic Book Yeti.

Looking for some new comics to fill your reading list? Here's what we've got:

✅️ RISE - our exploration of the male ego through the lens of a superhero. A story less about saving the world than surviving the performance.

✅️ HEAVY - our supernatural horror about the suffocating descent into the mire of shame as the earth's population begins to vanish.

✅️ MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT - our short cross-genre story collection connected by the theme of perspective.

✅️ AREA 51: THE HELIX PROJECT - our Sci-Fi Thriller about a boy uncovering the truth behind his father's murder in the jaws of a Cold War genetics conspiracy beneath Area 51.

🔥🔥 Sought after variants like foils, wraparound covers, and UV spot gloss finishes will be in short supply, so grab yours ASAP.

❗️Make sure to join us for an awesome panel on day one of the show!
