The Gosh! Authority 05.08.26

Hello!

After a mad event weekend, we're event-free this upcoming week. So kick back in the garden and bake beneath that baleful yellow orb!

Oh, I should also probably mention that we're hiring! Yes, our dear old Greg is heading for pastures new, so we're looking for an Assistant to the Small Press Buyer. Applications close 10th August 2026. Details here.

• FORT PSYCHO #1 - A bumper 40 pages of action from Matt Kindt and Brian Hurtt. The disgraced anti-terror squad that was formed to take out those responsible for the destruction of Singapore are now housed in a maximum security prison known colloquially as Fort Paycho.

• CHACHU #1 - Ms Marvel herself, Iman Vellani, teams up with artist Marianna Ignazzi for a creator-owned book from Image. A 19 year-old Pakistani Canadian woman heads for Hollywood, where her estranged PI uncle lives with his wife, a former starlet he saved from a kidnaping years ago. She goes missing again, and so uncle and niece are on her trail, learning about each other and themselves on the road.
