Han Solo artist DAVID MESSINA invites you to explore the mysterious world of 3KEYS!
Did the inhabitants of another dimension flee into our reality to save themselves from the terrible wrath of the Great Old Ones… or to help prepare us for a final devastating invasion?
And what if humanity's only chance against these Great Old Ones is an impetuous, mischievous young woman and her sardonic, furry, and surprisingly violent mentor?
All questions are asked and answered in this five-part introduction to writer and artist DAVID MESSINA's epic, apocalyptic universe, featuring 27 full story pages!
EARTH DIVERS
Expected 5th October
Stephen Graham Jones makes his ongoing comics debut with Earthdivers!
The year is 2112, and it's the apocalypse exactly as expected: rivers receding, oceans rising, civilization crumbling. Humanity has given up hope, except for a group of outcast Indigenous survivors who have discovered a time travel portal in a cave in the middle of the desert and figured out where the world took a sharp turn for the worst: America.
Convinced that the only way to save the world is to rewrite its past, they send one of their own on a bloody, one-way mission back to 1492 to kill Christopher Columbus before he reaches the so-called New World. But taking down an icon is no easy task, and his actions could prove devastating for his friends in the future.
The world's FIRST (and perhaps only) hot chicken sandwich-inspired vigilante is BACK…and this time he's not flocking around!
See Mitchell Moss thrust in the middle of a new gang war!
Watch Mitch battle his family as they actively thwart his efforts to keep them safe!
And let out an exasperated SIGH alongside Mitch as he is forced into teaming up with the kill-crazy bad cops!
Written by Brian Buccellato (Injustice: Gods Among Us, Detective Comics: Endgame) and illustrated by Mattia Monaco (KNOCK 'EM DEAD), these are the further adventures of a regular guy plucked out of obscurity by destiny to deliver justice with all the fixins!

The once-beloved store is now a front for a notorious crime syndicate, and they're not very nice at all.

All the while enjoying a dynamic punk rendering of the Archies' pop classic 'Sugar, Sugar' on the jukebox, as heads roll - literally.
