Pick Your Pickle and Prepare for Puns: Pickleball's Board Game Just Launched. A fast, fun, irreverent board game that celebrates the joy of Pickleball. Fans of silly puns, pickles, and fast-paced games alike have a new game to add to their list of must-haves: HotShot Pickleball.

The debut release from indie studio Midnight Trading Co., HotShot Pickleball was made while game designer Robert Gelb was recovering from an Achilles injury sustained, ironically, by playing Pickleball.

S.H.O.O.T. First #2 - Part Two: Giza



The Secular Humanist Occult Obliteration Taskforce heads to Egypt to take on a terrorist group—and their monstrous protector! But this is one battle that S.H.O.O.T. can’t hope to win, and when the dust settles, the team will never be the same—and the identity of the traitor will be revealed!

 Original, irreverent, and controversial!

Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi - Force War #1 - Part One

 The battle that will decide the future of the Jedi!

 John Ostrander and Jan Duursema pull out all the stops!

Itty Bitty Hellboy #4


What comes down must go UP! All the way up to the heavens! That’s right! Things may never be the same for Itty Bitty Hellboy and his pals after Roger tries to make friends with the Baba Yaga! What? Doesn’t she like flowers? Maybe it’s just Roger she finds irritating. Roger may be feeling separation anxiety after this story! Prepare yourself for the fluffiest, cloudiest, heavenliest issue yet!

 Highly recommended by Franco’s mom. Aw yeah, man.

 ART BALTAZAR & FRANCO take on HELLBOY!
