The Comic Picks
Operation: Iron Coffin #1
IDW $4.99
(W) Kenny Porter (A/CA) Tyrell Cannon
FROM THE SOLICIT:
The recently resurrected Dracula, one of the world’s greatest monsters and most infamous vampires, is hell-bent on redemption. The mission he takes to make that redemption possible? Teaming up with British Allied forces during World War II. They’ll air-drop him onto a Nazi train containing a horde of soldiers, augmented villains, and a vampire plague that, if released, will create a new generation of vampire terrors. Dracula will have to battle his way through the train, confronting his past sins and facing off against the wicked Hazel and Ivy, who are calling the shots for the Nazis…and who have a vested interest in Dracula’s failures. The action horror book of the year is here, from critically acclaimed writer Kenny Porter (Superboy: Man of Tomorrow, DC Mech, TMNT 2025 Annual) and rising star artist Tyrell Cannon (Fantastic Four Fanfare).
The Rocketeer: Infiltrator! #1
IDW $4.99
(W/CA) Gabriel Hardman (A) Dean Kotz
From the Solicits:
Series premiere!
It’s the height of World War II, and Betty is a Nazi collaborator! Or so we’re led to believe. As Allied planes mysteriously explode in midair across Europe, rumors of a Nazi superweapon compel the U.S. to send its fastest asset undercover: the Rocketeer! With Betty posing as a defecting American actress in a German motion picture, Cliff Secord, a.k.a. the Rocketeer, accompanies as her brother and manager. And since neither has experience in deep-cover work, the Allies send a handler to support them—a debonair MI6 agent who assumes the role of Betty’s co-star.
The Rocketeer will need to maintain his cover, destroy a superweapon no Allied agent has actually seen, and keep Betty away from the handsome British secret agent with a penchant for beautiful women. It’s a lot for a reckless stunt pilot to handle!
Gabriel Hardman (Batman/Green Arrow/The Question: Arcadia) and rising star artist Dean Kotz (The Savage Sword of Conan, Black Hammer: Visions) team up to tell the most dangerous Rocketeer story yet!
Dispatched #1
IGNITION PRESS $4.99
(W) B. Clay Moore (A) Daniel Gete (C) Lee Loughridge (L) AndWorld Design (CA) Daniel Gete
From the Solicits:
MacGyver meets Die Hard in this life-or-death unboxing! Estranged from his family and living under a government-issued alias, ex-black ops agent Morgan Power endures a life in suburban exile as a delivery driver for a major global courier company. It’s a 180 from his action-packed classified work abroad, until a routine shift puts him in the crosshairs of a domestic terrorist takedown. Trapped in the parking garage of a besieged corporate office park, Power goes back to basics with nothing but his survival skills and a delivery van full of unopened packages—and endless possibilities—to fight his way from floor to floor and free the hostages. But some boxes hold more trash than treasure, and Powers will also have to contend with his intensifying PTSD as the situation escalates and time runs out. Writer B. Clay Moore (Bloodland, The Leading Man) and rising artist Daniel Gete (Skin Police) deliver a classic lockdown thriller with a fresh twist!

Synthetics Volume One
Dark Horse $19.99
(W) J. Michael Straczynski (A) Tony Parker
From the Solicits:
From award-winning writer J. Michael Straczynski and the phenomenal artist Tony Parker comes a new, original science fiction comics story about a final hope for humanity.
Earth is dying and soon the human race will be unable to survive…
With “dead zones”—areas so toxic no life can survive—littering the Earth and growing every day, it’s estimated there are only twenty years remaining before the planet becomes so toxic humanity will die out.
Reactions to the news range from denial to rage and everything in between, but can something still be done? If a new type of human—stronger, able to work in toxic environments—could be made, could they be the key to fixing the dead zones and saving the planet? Or will they simply be humanity’s last gasp?
Kloud9
Dark Horse $19.99
(W) AJ O Mason (A) Dominic Bustamante
From the Solicits:
Some love stories stay close to home. This one crosses galaxies.
Kal is an ordinary teen searching for direction. Cosmo is an alien deserter with an entire galaxy hunting him down. When an unexpected romance ignites between them, their quiet lives are shattered by a relentless pursuit that stretches from suburban streets to the farthest reaches of space.
Now, with an unstoppable peacekeeping force closing in and a manipulative pseudoparent determined to reclaim Cosmo at any cost, Kal must decide whether to remain on Earth—or risk everything for the boy who's stolen his heart.
Packed with humor, heart, breathtaking action, and an irresistible slow-burn romance, Kloud 9 is an exhilarating YA graphic novel where first love launches the adventure of a lifetime.
