Prepare for a comic book bonanza like no other! With the imminent arrival of New Comic Book Day on October 18, 2023, we're on the verge of a literary supernova, ready to explode with creativity and imagination.

These forthcoming series are not merely ink and paper—they're doorways to uncharted dimensions, inviting us to journey through riveting storylines, exhilarating plot twists, and visually stunning artwork.

Let’s start out with a spotlight on three new series that start on New Comic Book Day, Wednesday October 18th!

BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES #1

(W/A/CA) Patrick Horvath

Don't. Murder. The locals. This is small-town serial killer, upstanding citizen, and adorable brown bear Samantha Strong's cardinal rule. After all, there's a sea of perfectly ripe potential victims in the big city just beyond the forest, and when you've worked as hard as Sam to build a cozy life and a thriving business in a community surrounded by friendly fellow animal folk, warm décor, and the aroma of cedar trees and freshly baked apple pie...the last thing you want is to disturb the peace. So you can imagine her indignation when one of Woodbrook's own meets a grisly, mysterious demise-and you wouldn't blame her for doing anything it takes to hunt down her rival before the town self-destructs and Sheriff Patterson starts (literally) barking up the wrong tree. Live, laugh, shed blood. Dexter meets Richard Scarry's Busy Town in writer-artist Patrick Horvath's twisted debut of Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees!

JAY GARRICK THE FLASH #1

(W) Jeremy Adams (A) Diego Olortegui (CA) Jorge Corona

JAY AND HIS LONG-LOST DAUGHTER RACE SIDE BY SIDE IN THE PRESENT DAY! Spinning out of the events of Stargirl: The Lost Children and Justice Society of America, Jay Garrick is reunited with his long-lost daughter, Judy. After being pulled from the timeline, Judy returns to a world where she and her dad aren't the only ones that ride the lightning, but is there enough space for her in Jay and Joan's life? And can they keep up with their teenage daughter and make up for lost time?

CRYPT OF SHADOWS #1

(W) Cavan Scott, Steve Orlando (A) Paul Azaceta, Alex Lins (CA) Leinil Yu

REOPENING THE CRYPT!
Once more, as All Hallows' Eve draws nigh, the dust-covered slab that seals shut the crypt, blocking out the sun and casting it forever in shadow, has creaked open to let the darkness loose to prey on the Marvel Universe! Be they mercenary or mage, guided by law or by rage, our heroes will face their terror, and they'd best pray their spines are sturdy enough for the job...or the crypt they find may well be their own!
