Gunpowder Prophets #1 (October 1, 2025)

Monsters Are My Business (And Business is Bloody) #1 (2024)

Out this week: Gunpowder Prophets: Death in Texas #1 (Mad Cave, $4.99): 

Justin Jordan and Patrick Piazzalunga deliver gonzo, over-the-top action horror with Huck and Marley, a pair who help people for money—though their “help” always involves massive property damage, guaranteed supernatural collisions and, if Marley has his way, a huge body count. A simple job rescuing a girl from a backwoods cult turns weird when the groovy leader’s supernatural powers turn out to be very real. Jordan promises 70s-style horror mixed with grindhouse action in this five-issue series.

Basically. It’s a ‘what if Superman defeated Doomsday but died in the process and returned alive but was actually a reploid piloted by some goverment types’.

synopsis: BEHOLD: A BLOODY NEW ONGOING SERIES! Out of the ashes of EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS, we usher THE TORMENTOR—a new horror host with an unhealthy interest in human anatomy—into the shadow-strewn halls of EC Comics history for our next monthly horror anthology! Hold onto your head (if it’s still attached) . . . because no one escapes THE CATACOMB OF TORMENT!

For Her Royal Travesty of Pain's first request: Master storytellers John Arcudi (B.P.R.D.) & Tonci Zonjic (Black Hammer: Skulldigger & Skeleton Boy), Matt Kindt (BRZRKR) & David Lapham (Stray Bullets), and Marguerite Bennett (Batwoman) & Dan McDaid (Shazam!) each take turns manning the rack and turning the red-hot irons for three all-new and blisteringly brutal tales of mayhem and malice in the undying EC tradition!

Plus, as an added bonus: A surprise classic from the EC vaults, painstakingly remastered and newly restored to its original coloring.
