Warped by radioactive Strontium-90 fallout after the Great Nuclear War, mutants like Johnny Alpha only have one career option available: a hard life as galactic bounty hunters known by the ‘norms’ as ‘Strontium Dogs’. The Strontium Dogs patrol the galaxy, bringing trouble to the troublemakers.
This collection sees Johnny and his brother-for-life Wulf Sternhammer return to the Gronk homeworld seeking justice against a band of violent trappers - unaware that they're walking into a trap...
Alongside "The Kid Knee Caper" and "The Killing", this volume also contains "The Moses Incident", in which a routine bounty takes a dark and sinister turn which changes Johnny's world forever and sends him into the darkest parts of the galaxy. Will he be able to escape The Island of the Living Dead?

Hell Has A Long Memory—And It Wants Him Back
Coming at the end of April 2025, a new horror comics in digital format. Betweeners is coming to GlobalComix and Amazon Kindle.
What lurks in the shadows? Terrible, broken things that writhe in the space between worlds… and they’re after one person, Shane Beck.
Announcing BETWEENERS, a supernatural horror story drenched in crime, redemption, and dark humor, from CBC News reporter and comics creator Adam Carter. Featuring art by Armin Ozdic (The Living Finger), atmospheric colors by Gui Sabino (Starfell, The Wombat), and letters by Héctor Negrete (Joker: The World), this chilling tale reinvents the exorcism genre with a terrifying twist: this time, the exorcist is the one who’s possessed.
Beyond a horror story, Betweeners is a deep dive into identity, morality, and the inescapable weight of past sins. Stripping away the usual religious iconography, Carter flips the classic possession narrative on its head, creating a story that’s as thought-provoking as it is terrifying!
Exorcist Shane Beck has a secret: He’s not really Shane Beck. His body is possessed by the soul of Mike Baxter, a grifter who died in the 1980s and spent decades suffering in Hell—until he found a way out. Now, using Beck’s body, Baxter performs exorcisms while staying one step ahead of the demons that hunt him. But when Beck’s estranged son, James, shows up desperate for help, Baxter finds himself in an unfamiliar role: pretending to be a father.
When an elite agent from hell tracks them down, Baxter and James are forced into a deadly fight for survival. The battle that follows will push Baxter to his limits, forcing him to face the question he’s been avoiding: Can redemption be earned? Or is he doomed to the fate he tried to outrun?
Adam Carter spoke of the project:
“Betweeners started with a relatively simple idea: what would happen if an exorcist was possessed? But not by a demon, by the soul of a human—someone flawed, someone lost, someone desperately seeking a second chance in life. And what if that lost soul didn’t land in a priest, but instead possessed someone equally as flawed? Then you get a story that is, at its core, a family drama about a man on the run… and all that stands between him and his second chance is the hordes of Hell. No pressure or anything.”
A character-driven supernatural thriller, Betweeners is a must-read for horror and fantasy fans who crave dark storytelling with emotional depth, delivering a fresh twist on the exorcism genre. Fans of Dexter, Hellblazer, and Lucifer will be drawn in.
Betweeners drops on GlobalComix and Amazon Kindle on April 30th, so add it to your pull list!

Vault Comics To Adapt Hit Western Dead Acre To Graphic Novel With Cullen Bunn And Riley Brown
A new graphic novel with a western/horror feel to it from Vault Comics. I’ve not heard of Dead Acre, but after looking at the preview and synopsis below, it looks entertaining.
Vault Comics will publish a graphic novel adaptation of Rhett Bruno and Jaime Castle’s hit weird western novella, Dead Acre. The first volume in the acclaimed, award-winning Black Badge series, Dead Acre is the story of James Crowley, an outlaw who met his mortal end in a hail of gunfire, and now finds himself in purgatory, serving the White Throne to avoid falling to hell. Not quite undead, though not alive either, the best he can hope for is to work off his servitude and fade away. His not-so-sacred duty as a Hand of God? Use his new abilities to hunt down demonic beings that have infiltrated the mortal realm.
The graphic novel is written by acclaimed writer Cullen Bunn (Harrow County, The Sixth Gun, The Last Book You’ll Ever Read), drawn by Riley Brown, colored by Fares Maese, and lettered by and world design.
“I'm no stranger to supernatural westerns. I'm a huge fan of the genre. And, supernatural westerns rooted in prose is really what cemented my fandom. So, working on a story like this was a lot of fun for me,” said graphic novel writer, Cullen Bunn. “James Crowley, gunfighter returned from the grave as a kind of revenant-with-a-mission, is a character with tons of potential. There's no end to the stories that could be harvested from his adventures.”
“There's nothing more visual and visceral than a good western,” said Black Badge co-creator, Rhett Bruno. “Add in a little magic and what can beat it? To see Black Badge in comic form has been a dream since we came up with the idea.”
“Working alongside industry heroes like Cullen and Riley has literally made my dreams come true,” said Black Badge co-creator, Jaime Castle. “This is the best-looking western comic ever made. Like striking oil.”
The 160 page, full color graphic novel will be available on September 16, 2025, and is available for pre-order now.
Fans can get an early look at the first sixteen pages of the graphic novel today.
Meanwhile ebooks of the Black Badge novels are available from Aethon Books, and print and audiobooks editions, narrated by Roger Clark, are available from Blackstone.
