Fabious, the favored first born, will someday be king — he has the looks, charm, and bravery that make him the toast of the Kingdom of Mourne. His brother Thadeous, on the other hand, is a royal screw up whose hard-partying ways make him an embarrassment to the royal family! This oversized trade contains two stories both written by McBride and Fradley. Follow Fabious as he battles a murderous Cyclops and attempts to free a beautiful princess from her tower prison! And in a story drawn by comic-book superstars Sean Phillips and Paul Peart, Thadeous uses a diplomatic mission to the Highland Dwarves as an excuse to partake in their famous herb and become the life of the party — a cringe-worthy affair to say the least!

Outside of the dusty and remote town of Juarez, Mexico, new laws have replaced what was once called civilization. The old laws don't apply to the dead — thewalking dead — so there had to be new ones. One of the wielders of this new law was the mysterious wanderer, Raga, who was known in the whispers swirling around the land as simply, “The Assassin.” There was nothing living...or dead, that he hadn't killed. But now he had a new challenge. However, his plans get disrupted by an unexpected force — the King Zombie and his hoards of zombies! You may be able to kill what's already dead, but how many times? • Deadworld scribe Gary Reed hooks up with Gary Francis of Young Dracula fame to present this chilling tale, with brilliant greywash art by Mark Bloodworth (Hellraiser, The Ripper Legacy).

Soon after losing her, he lost his job, and his car, and eventually his enthusiasm for life. He can't imagine things getting worse — until he sees Bridget again, for the first time since she walked out, just moments before she leaps to her death from a bridge. In his quest to find out why Bridget took her own life, he encounters a depressive (and possibly immortal) cult leader; a man with a car that can drive out of this world and into others; a beautiful psychotic with a chrome shotgun; and a bridge that, maybe, leads to heaven. Darrin's journey leads him into a place called the Briarpatch, which is either the crawlspace of the universe, or a series of ambitious building projects abandoned by god, or a tangle of alternative universes, depending on who you ask. Somewhere in that disorderly snarl of worlds, he hopes to find Bridget again... or at least a reason to live without her.

Initially created by H. P. Lovecraft and a group of his amorphous contemporaries (the so-called “Lovecraft Circle”), The Cthulhu Mythos story cycle has taken on a convoluted, cyclopean life of its own. Some of the most prodigious writers of the 20th century, and some of the most astounding writers of the 21st century have planted their seeds in this fertile soil. The Book of Cthulhu harvests the weirdest and most corpulent crop of these modern mythos tales. From weird fiction masters to enigmatic rising stars, The Book of Cthulhu demonstrates how Mythos fiction has been a major cultural meme throughout the 20th century, and how this type of story is still salient, and terribly powerful today.

Dante tried to blow the whistle via a tell-all video that went viral — but that was before the black ops boys deep-sixed him at a secret interrogation site on the Panama-Colombia border. When Dante wakes up in the jungle with the five intervening years missing from his memory, he knows he's got to do something about the laughing sickness that has caused a world-wide slaughter. The resulting journey leads him across the nightmare that was the Panama Canal, around Cape Horn in a hijacked nuclear warship, to San Francisco's mission district, where a crew of survivalist hackers have holed up in the pseudo-Moorish-castle turned porn-studio known as The Armory. This mixed band of anti-social rejects has taken Dante's whistle blowing video as an underground gospel, leading the fight against the laughing corpses and the corporate stooges who've tried to profit from the slaughter. Can Dante find redemption and save civilization? • Thomas Phillips knows he's losing his mind. He's been losing it for as long as he can remember.

He loses interest in his job and is fired. He refuses his wife's suggestion of psychiatric care, and she leaves him. In the end, Thomas is alone. Except he's not, because someone seems to be following him. What if you were Thomas? Where would you go? What would you do? What if you realized every person in your life had been scripted to be there? What if you were haunted by the idea that you'd lived all these encounters before, hundreds or even thousands of times before?
