    Bad Omens take us to the Concrete Jungle in Vol. 1 of their new graphic novel series.

    Collected here in full for the very first time! Bad Omens: Concrete Jungle Vol. 1 contains all four issues of the first arc written by Noah Sebastian, Davis Rider, and Kevin Roditeli. Includes a bonus, behind-the-scenes section showing never before seen material utilized to help in the production of the series.

    Bad Omens is one of many crime syndicates that operate in the largest district of Concrete Jungle, led by four individuals all from different backstories within and outside the city, with unique skills that attribute to their roles and success with Bad Omens. As a small fish in a large pond of gangs, they plot to expand, and with success, they begin to take over several important districts in Concrete Jungle, with any means necessary, but along the way start to realize they want to use their influence and growing power over the city to assist if not lead the way in establishing true order and prosperity for the people of Concrete Jungle. Bad Omens toe-the-line morally so to speak when it comes to their revolving door of methods and motives, but in the end, they could be the anti heroes the city needs, and the true kings of the concrete jungle.

    Limited tiers are limited to one per customer.

  • Bullet For My Valentine celebrate 20th anniversary of “The Poison” with new graphic novel.

    Bullet For My Valentine celebrate 20th anniversary of “The Poison” with new graphic novel.

    In the streets of Bridgend, a mysterious vampire stalks the night from the shadows. Drawn to the mundane yet comforting routines of the suburban life, he becomes fixated on a particular human girl, Valentine, who has unknowingly become the object of his fascination.

    Each night, Vincent watches from the shadows as she leaves her workplace and makes her way home. Her laughter, her grace, and the gentle rhythm of her footsteps created a melody that echoed through the otherwise silent streets. Despite the darkness that consumed him, Vincent felt a strange warmth in his undead heart whenever he observed her.

    One fateful night, their paths crossed in a way neither of them anticipated. As Emily walked through a dimly lit alley, Vincent stepped out from the shadows, revealing himself. Startled but intrigued, Emily gazed into Vincent’s piercing eyes, and an inexplicable connection ignited between them. They spoke, shared stories, and for a brief moment, the boundary between the supernatural and the human world seemed to blur.

    However, the weight of Vincent’s immortal secret pressed heavily on him. Fearful of the consequences, he decided to distance himself from Emily, retreating back into the shadows to resume his silent surveillance. Vincent’s love for Valentine grew silently, hidden in the depths of the night.

    As weeks passed, Valentine’s life took a turn. She met a charming man, and their connection deepened. Vincent’s jealousy simmered beneath the surface as he continued to watch the blossoming romance from afar. The pain of unrequited love twisted his undead heart, fueling a darkness that threatened to consume him. He followed them one night to the new lover’s apartment and continued to watch at a distance.

    After witnessing them make love, he then sees shortly after Valentine begin to cry and swing her arms around while her lover remains obscured by the curtains, Vincent heads up to Room 409 to get a hold of the situation and help her out. As he enters the room, he attacks her lover. She screams for him to stop but it’s too late. Vincent overpowers her man and tosses him through the window in a fit of rage.

    Valentine immediately, tears running down her face grabs a knife and begins to attack him. The realization hits that she has no idea whom he is and Vincent has let this go too far. No returning back now. Vincent knocks the knife out of her hand and sinks his teeth into her neck. She falls to the ground in a similar fashion to the cover of The Poison. The blood on the album cover coming from her neck and her left hand exposes a new ring. Her lover had just proposed to her and Vincent misunderstood everything. He retreats to the shadows.

  • Interpol reveal that there’s more than meets the eye with Norman.

    Interpol reveal that there’s more than meets the eye with Norman.

    Rising from the streets of New York City in the late 90s, Interpol carved their name into the post-punk revival with a sound as sharp as a tailored suit and as haunting as a neon-lit alley at midnight. This graphic novel serves as an officially licensed expansion of their 2004 album, Antics. Inspired by their music video for the hit song Evil, the story expands on Norman and takes a closer look at his life.

    Norman’s life is forever changed in the aftermath of a devastating car accident. Awakening days later in a hospital bed, he learns of the damage caused by the wreck. But his grief and guilt are compounded by something far more surreal: when he looks in the mirror, a puppet stares back.

    Though doctors insist his appearance is unchanged, Norman can’t shake the wooden strings and lifeless glass eyes he sees in his reflection. He feels trapped in a body no one else can perceive. As he tries to return to his old life, the illusion consumes him, unraveling relationships, job prospects, and any semblance of normalcy. The more Norman struggles to ground himself in reality, the more his puppet body begins to degrade—pieces breaking off, one by one.

    In the depths of despair, Norman becomes desperate to meet someone, anyone that will believe in him and make him feel normal again… but at what cost?

    What follows is a haunting journey through identity, isolation, and the fragile threads that bind us to the world. ANTICS is a dark, dreamlike tale that weaves psychological tension with melancholic beauty, perfect for fans of graphic novels and the somber, atmospheric tones of Interpol.
