Emma Sonnet's hopes for a peaceful New York vacation are shattered when she finds herself fighting for her life against Jaclyn Hayes' cursed lover Michael and then against the Demonslayer herself.

STEVEN GRANT'S MORTAL SOULS #2

Written by Steven Grant, art and cover by Philip Xavier.

The dead run the world -- and they hate us. We can't tell them apart from the living but police detective Eric Sharpe can, ever since he got "the sight," and he's convinced they're not real and he's gone insane. And he killed the only woman who could change his mind. Fortunately, her ghost is haunting him. Unfortunately, her presence has made Sharpe's grip on reality that much more tenuous. Will he listen to her and learn the true history of the world before the husks of the dead tear him apart.

ENNIS AND MCCREA'S BIGGER DICKS #3

How much trouble can Dougie and Ivor possible get into? This super-engorged series features the original Dicks issues, with completely remastered lettering and artwork, and all-new material.

THRESHOLD #47

Written by Marat Mychaels and Robert Lugibihl, art by Mychaels, Phil Xavier and Ivan Abraini; Demonslayer cover by Mychaels, Pandora cover by Xavier.

Marat Mychaels and his creation Demonslayer continue their extended run in Threshold with some unusual demon trouble. It seems that the Roman Catholic church has some unexpected visitors underneath Vatican City and Jaclyn may be the only one who can help. But when her old foe Irkala turns out to be behind it all, the sparks really start to fly. Writer Robert Lugibihl and artist Phil Xavier conclude the stunning tale of Pandora's past, where her torrid love affair with Alexander the Great turns horribly bitter and the Girl of Myth is forced to make some very tough choices. Italian artist Ivan Abraini returns to the Lookers in this new short story by Robert Lugibihl that has the investigative sisters looking into an abduction by an all-woman biker gang! Threshold continues bi-monthly with top flight creators and as the longest running American anthology.

48 pages, black and white, $4.95 (Nude covers, $6).
