FIRST LOOK: THE CLEANERS #1
The Cleaners #1 will arrive in stores on Nov. 12 from Dark Horse Comics. The issue is written by Mark Wheaton and Joshua Hale Fialkov, with art by Rahsan Ekedahl.
Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:
"In the dark tradition of Los Angeles noir, The Cleaners is a terrifying new mystery series about a ragtag team of for-hire trauma-scene cleaners led by ex-surgeon Robert Bellarmine. Contracted with sanitizing some of the nastiest crime and accident scenes in the tri-county L.A. basin, the team battles against what could only be described as the grim, unknowable face of the supernatural. But by focusing on the scientific explanation, no matter how aberrant or extraordinary, they counteract centuries-old superstition to prove things are seldom what they seem . . .
"In this mini-series, the cleaners crew takes on a series of gruesome tasks starting with a bloodbath that covers an entire neighborhood. This investigation leads them toward uncovering a disturbing mystery involving missing children, which dates back longer than the history of the city itself."
The Cleaners #1 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.

Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:
"There's been some good news and bad news for Matt Blurdy. First off, he slew the necromancer out to kill him-good news! But then it turned out that this dark wizard was none other than Damien, Matt's heinous ex-boss . . . totally weird news. And then Jill discovered the sword in Matt's closet, put two and two together, and freaked the hell out-bad, bad news! Trouble is, she could be right . . . either the world is actually in peril and the worst evil yet is closing in, or someone and his talking helmet need to be committed. Is Matt truly the Chosen One, or has he gone completely off his nut? Only one thing's for certain, people: it's time to roll perfect 20s."

Conan the Cimmerian #5 will arrive in stores on Nov. 19 from Dark Horse Comics. The issue is written by Timothy Truman, with art by Tomas Giorello and Richard Corben and a cover by Frank Cho.
Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:
"A child that Conan's grandfather saved from death many years ago-now an old man-seeks to return the favor, but can he get to Conan and Caollan before Horsa's warriors capture their Cimmerian prey? And what good is an old man against Aesir soldiers and the vicious witch Olva? Thorgeir the Berserker gets his second round with Conan, and Caollan shows just how tough and wily a Cimmerian woman can be in battle--even when outnumbered. Richard Corben contributes stunning flashback scenes featuring Connacht, Conan's grandfather. In this issue, Corben brings us to a dark, seemingly hopeless time in the older Cimmerian's life, when he was betrayed and enslaved."
Conan the Cimmerian #5 will be 40 pages and will cost $2.99.
