LESTER OF THE LESSER GODS #1
Writer: Eric Powell and Lucky Yates
Artist: Gideon Kendall
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Cover Price: $3.99
Release Date: May 01, 2024
Eric Powell (The Goon) and comedian and voice actor Lucky Yates (Archer) combine twisted comedic talents to bring you Lester of the Lesser Gods. Originally created as an unproduced animated short by Powell a decade ago, the concept was revived when the two writers were looking for a comic project to work on.

Lester, the larping bastard son of the Odin, wanders the post-apocalyptic wasteland after thwarting Satan’s attempt to bring about the end of days. But can this hero of the downtrodden survive the battle arena of Will Frye the Technomancer Guy.

DUDLEY DATSON AND THE FOREVER MACHINE #1
Writer: Scott Snyder
Artist: Jamal Igle, Juan Castro
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Cover Price: $4.99
Release Date: April 17, 2024
From New York Times bestselling creators Scott Snyder and Jamal Igle comes this rollicking sci-fi adventure story about a boy, his dog, and a machine that controls time and space! What could go wrong?
Have you ever wondered why all the great figures in history had a pet companion, and if they were all running from the same mysterious threat? Such questions have never crossed the mind of Dudley Datson, a fifteen year-old with a penchant for invention. But when dastardly foes turn his world upside down, Dudley is going to have to start facing things beyond his wildest imagination in this modern day fable.

FANTASTIC FOUR #19
Writer: Ryan North
Artist: Carlos E. Gomez
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Cover Price: $4.99
Release Date: April 10, 2024
She came in trouble, all five feet, six inches of it. Even her name was a warning that things were about to get bad for me, real quick: “Storm.” Miss Susie Storm, standing there in a blue gown custom-made to take years off the life of anyone who saw her, big as life in my crummy office. The doll needed a private eye to find her boyfriend. Seems he’d pulled a disappearing act: one “Professor Richards,” a hard-luck egghead who’d somehow scored way out of his league. I didn’t want to take her case, but my bank account said otherwise, and besides: There was something about her. A sense of danger maybe, but also, a vulnerability. Call me a sap, but the world’s a rough place - and me, I didn’t want to make it any rougher on her. ‘Course, it wasn’t long before I wished I’d had the good sense to keep my distance…

STEPHEN
RED SONJA EMPIRE OF THE DAMNED #1
Writer: Steve Niles
Artist: Alessandro Amoruso
Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment
Cover Price: $4.99
Release Date: April 3, 2024
After landing in jail following a night of drunken revelry, Red Sonja hears an outlandish story from a fellow inmate. Deep in the mountains lies a dead city in a valley with no name. Abandoned and forgotten, its fields and streets are littered with the bones of two armies, all destroyed by a curse from a warlock who has long since vanished, along with his vast treasure; untold riches just waiting to be taken.
At least that is the legend. But Sonja’s cellmate Morgo has more than a diverting tale, he’s also got a map that says this legend could well be reality. All they need to do is break out of lockup and hit the road, which may be easier said than done!
