It acts as an homage to nostalgia for Star Trek the original series while also telling a much darker story. That a programmer who traps his coworkers’ consciousness in a procedurally generated game scenario based on the that show. In the shadow of that retro-futurism hides elements of The Matrix mixed with Ready Player One and that episode of The Twilight Zone with that terrible little god-kid. 

The Thing on the Doorstep starts with a murder, as seen on the preview pages above. A gruesome murder, that I was surprised how it happened without warning. The story starts in 1933 with Daniel Upton shooting his "friend" (in quotes because, why would he shoot a friend) Edward Derby but then the story goes back 35 years to their first meeting and goes thru various points in their lives.

After last week’s grand finale we’re back in the business of building suspense and business is booming!

Flores Colorist: Lorenzo Scaramella Letterer: Letter Squids Editor: Barnett Brettler PRICE: $6.99 REVIEW Private investigator Randall Halsey could really use some friends to be there for him right now because it has definitely not been his day, his week, his month, or even his year.

The art is great. Really good character designs, lots of details. Tons of texture. There is not a wasted line in either book. If you like the comic art made famous at Image in the 90s, you will feel right at home here. If anything, its that style but with modern sensibilities and coloring.

2000 AD Prog 2469 Release date: February 11, 2026 Cover Artist: Mike Perkins Price: $2.99 digital, $5.49 print Subscription $10.99 Digital, $16.99 print subscription (4-5 issues a month) How about that cover by Mike Perkins! His work throughout this storyline has been beyond reproach and this is an especially delicious cherry on top. Somewhat reminiscent of Steve Ditko’s great “lifting sequence” from Amazing Spider-Man #33, way back in 1965, though more likely Atlas lifting t

Shin Zero is a book of combinations. It is French sci-fi cartooning and Japanese monster manga, slice-of-life meditation and high concept action-adventure, an entry in the 75-year-old tokusatsu genre and a profoundly modern story of gig-economy workers, and it is a synthesis of the talents of Mathieu Bablet and Guillaume Singelin, with Bablet writing and Singelin illustrating.

Two-fisted titanic team-ups abound in this truly twisted collection of Toxic Avenger tales, straight outta Tromaville, New Jersey! Having lived in New Jersey for 15 years now, I thought it was high time I let the Toxic Avenger into my life, especially with the tantalizing absurdity promised on the cover, and I am very glad I did.

And the hits keep on coming! And at breakneck speed no less, with a perfectly paced prog that leaves you waiting on pins and needles for the next drop!
