Dracula Battles Nazis in the Acclaimed Action-Horror Operation: Iron Coffin
An exciting new series coming from IDW Dark - the horror imprint from IDW Publishing, with vampires and Nazis in Operation: Iron Coffin.
The reviews are in for the next original series in IDW Publishing's hit horror imprint IDW DARK and they all agree: OPERATION: IRON COFFIN needs to be on your pull list.
During World War II, the Allies drop Dracula like a bomb on a heavily guarded Nazi train full of superweapons and technology which could change the outcome of the war if it reaches its destination. What follows can best be described by CBR's Brian Cronin: "a stunning thrill ride that is as surprisingly heartfelt and thoughtful as it is harrowing and violent."
Crashing into comic shops this July, OPERATION: IRON COFFIN #1 (of 3) features 40 pages of non-stop action and emotion for only $4.99. Crafted by writer Kenny Porter (Superman: Father of Tomorrow) and artist Tyrell Cannon (Fantastic Four Fanfare), fans can feast their eyes on the opening sequence below.
The debut issue features variants by Juan Ferreyra, Serena Mercardo, and a connecting cover set by Edison Neo. Pre-orders are due this Monday (June 1). Contact your local comic shop to guarantee your copy.
Vault Announces Money Shot: The F* Offs By Patton Oswalt, Tim Seeley, & Garth Graham
It’s great to see this come back from Vault Comics. Check out the details and some preview art of Money Shot: The F* Offs.
Vault Comics is thrilled to announce Money Shot: The F* Offs, a brand new single issue series arc in the beloved sexy sci-fi comedy series, Money Shot. This new arc sees the return of of superstar actor, comedian, & writer Patton Oswalt (Minor Threats) as co-writer alongside Eisner Award nominated Money Shot creator Tim Seeley (Local Man, Hack/Slash, Revival), with art by webcomics sensation Garth Graham (A Polycule of Mars, Astroknots), colors by Maksim Strelkov, letters by Crank!, and design by Tim Daniel.
It had to happen! In the grand tradition of Secret Wars, Crisis of Absolute Proportions, and Battle of the Network Stars comes a massive cosmic crossover! A strange force has returned after millennia to gather the finest champions from across the galaxy to compete in grand games. But there’s no fighting here. No, this is THE F%CK OFFS! Some will win! Some will lose! And everyone will come! From the geniuses of debauchery, Tim Seeley, Patton Oswalt, and Garth Graham, comes the horniest arc of Money Shot yet.
“We’ve been doing Money Shot for 7 years (!), and of course, in that time, we’ve met a whole lot of sexy, weird characters, all of whom we wanted to see again, potentially naked,” said Seeley. “THE F* OFFS is a crossover event contained to one series, dropping our cast right into the middle of a secret war where they’ll have to compete to save all life and evolution with the main tool that ensures those things exist: Sex!”
“Things have been growing toward a hot, sticky climax, and I was proud to lend a firm hand to bring things to an explosive conclusion,” said Oswalt. “I always go all the way to the hilt when I’m deep into something, and I’m not afraid of getting messy. I also did some writing on the latest issues of Money Shot.”
“The XXX-plorers are true to their name: first among humanity to explore the cosmos and sleep with anything sentient they find,” added Graham. “But just because they’re the first, does that make them the best? The F* Offs put our intrepid Scientist Cum Explorers to the test to see if they measure up against a wild universe of even wilder aliens. All of whom seek to be number one and survive to earn the title of The Fittest.”
Money Shot: The F* Offs #1will hit store shelves everywhere this August. The debut issue will feature stunningly sexy variant covers from superstar artists like Zulema Scotto, Flaviano, Corin Howell, Suspiria, and more! Readers can preorder at their local comic shop now.
B&V hit the runway!
For August 2026, Archie Comics has released their latest solicitations, which include a B&V fashion one-shot.
The last safe city on earth is about to collapse…
A new, near-future thriller from Mad Cave Studios is coming this summer in Denver.
The world has drowned. Denver survived… barely.
Mad Cave Studios announces DENVER, a gritty and gratuitous thriller from acclaimed writers Jimmy Palmiotti (Pop Kill) and Justin Gray (Jonah Hex), featuring art and colors by Pier Brito (Daredevil), letters by Bill Tortolini, and covers by Amanda Conner, Pier Brito, Uko Smith, and Dave Johnson.
In a near‑future world drowned by rising oceans, Denver survives as one of the last tightly controlled safe zones on the planet where every resource is rationed, and every citizen is monitored. Max Flynn, a veteran border officer struggling to protect his family under these unforgiving rules, is shattered when his wife is suddenly kidnapped. A mysterious enemy forces him to betray Denver from within or lose her forever. As Max assembles a trusted crew and descends into the city’s underbelly, his desperate hunt threatens to expose the cracks in Denver’s rigid order and ignite a reckoning that could end the last safe city on Earth.
“With two of us growing up in the age of Heavy Metal, it makes sense that Justin and I set out to build a world far outside the safety of mainstream comics, one that embraces adult material and violence without ever feeling gratuitous,” said Jimmy Palmiotti. “We wanted a place where the brutality has weight, the characters feel real, and the story makes sense on its own harsh terms. Our goal was to give readers someone to care about in a world that doesn’t care back. And with Pier Brito’s explosive visual style driving every page, we’ve created an adventure that we think looks and hits like nothing else out there.”
Justin Gray added, “Jimmy and I spent many years creating comics together, so it’s exciting to see one of our creator-owned projects reaching a new audience through Mad Cave. I think readers who enjoy beautifully illustrated sci-fi crime stories with a strong atmosphere and character work are going to find a lot to enjoy in Denver.”
“Working on Denver was a blast. Jimmy and Justin’s vision of this massive Tower of Babel-like city in the middle of the sea, visually, I find very inspiring,” said Pier Brito. “There is a feeling of a broader world behind this story, which I hope intrigues the reader. It was a big challenge and a great opportunity to work on a book where I can help visualize such a scenario, from pencils to final color.”
A grounded dystopian thriller in the vein of Escape From New York, East of West, and Children of Men, Denver delivers a brutal survival story wrapped in political paranoia, collapsing infrastructure, and human desperation.
Denver #1 goes on sale August 26, 2026, with Final Order Cutoff on August 3. Preorder from your favorite LCS or from Mad Cave.
