HIGH STRANGENESS BOOK ONE - 1967
Writer: Chris Condon & Daniel Noah
Artist: Dave Chisholm
Chicago, 1967. Magazine writer Harry Kean is dispatched to rural Indiana to investigate the sudden disappearance of Becky Plume, a local teenager who stepped into the national spotlight with staggering photographic evidence of a recent UFO sighting. Frustrated to leave his developing stories in Chicago— and the wife he’s hoping to win back—Harry sets off to expose a hoax but instead finds himself in a labyrinth of high strangeness involving a missing girl, her boyfriend, a UFO, and some mysterious black- clad visitors circling at the perimeter of a mystery more vast than Harry could possibly imagine.

More potential followers are rescued by the day, but with no one to indoctrinate them, Lamb’s power grows stagnant and the One Who Waits becomes weary of his earthly vessel’s resistance to the full power and responsibility of the Red Crown. When famine strikes the cult, a challenger to Lamb’s mantle emerges, and a new struggle begins . .

Yuletide #1
Writer: George Northy
Artist: Rachele Aragno
Welcome to the small town of Christmas- Pennsylvania—the merriest place on Earth . . . or so they’d like everyone to think. When December rolls around- these folks pull out all the stops for America’s biggest- brightest holiday display . . . but not everyone in Christmas- PA- is so enthusiastic. Teens Jake- Abe- and Wyn are more interested in the dark side of the holiday that their parents like to pretend doesn’t exist . . . The ancient legends of mythic monsters and pagan pandemonium that are deeply tied to the festival’s long-forgotten origins. So when their hobby leads them to an abandoned wing of the local Christmas museum to investigate- they’ll discover an ancient relic that- when activated- will bring a furious procession of yuletide horrors long since banished from our plane—and with it- a darkness that has been waiting centuries for its chance to overtake the world!
