A SNEAK PEEK at some IDW titles available with GLOBALCOMIX GOLD

Earlier this month, we had the opportunity to cover the exciting development for GlobalComix in which IDW Publishing comics became available digitally day-and-date on GlobalComix for anyone with a Gold membership. They were kind enough to send us some previews of a few comics available for anyone with a GlobalComix Gold membership, and we are excited to share them with you down below!

Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring #1

Creator: Patrick Horvath

Letterer: Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou

Don’t. Murder. The locals.

This is small-town serial killer, upstanding citizen, and adorable brown bear Samantha Strong’s cardinal rule. After all, there’s a sea of perfectly ripe potential victims in the big city just beyond the forest, and when you’ve worked as hard as Sam to build a cozy life and a thriving business in a community surrounded by friendly fellow animal folk, warm decor, and the aroma of cedar trees and freshly baked apple pie…the last thing you want is to disturb the peace.

So you can imagine her indignation when one of Woodbrook’s own meets a grisly, mysterious demise—and you wouldn’t blame her for doing anything it takes to hunt down her rival before the town self-destructs and Sheriff Patterson starts (literally) barking up the wrong tree.

Cute critters aren’t immune to crime in this original graphic novel debut by writer-artist Patrick Horvath.

After the events of "The Armageddon Game," the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles found themselves at a crossroads, attempting to keep their family united while individually feeling the need to break away and explore life in a world that knows about mutants.

To clear his head, Raphael jumps on his motorcycle and heads west on a solo road trip with the wind at his back and no destination in mind...until a dormant enemy out for revenge on the Turtles engineers a dangerous detour to Area 51. When Raphael is held hostage with some unexpected old friends, his soul-searching quest mutates into a crisis as he brawls in the desert to keep the E.P.F.'s cache of coveted technology out of the wrong hands.

Will Raphael find his new purpose away from his brothers...or just more trouble than he can handle alone?
