The Gosh! Authority 21.02.24

Hello!

This Saturday we're holding a birthday bash for the good folks of 2000AD, with a celebratory signing featuring Simon Davis, T.C. Eglington, Henry Flint and Rob Williams! Get all the good details here.

HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK

• THE SIX FINGERS #1 - Did you enjoy The One Hand? Well, journey back to Neo Novena with Dan Watters and Sumit Kumar for the other side of the story, as we meet Johannes Vale, an buttoned-down archeaology student who becomes an unwitting killer. The mystery deepens... 

• BLASFAMOUS #1 - Unsurprisingly, the world of celebrity is a playground for the forces of Heaven and Hell, with deals aplenty fuelling the fickle forces of fame. When pop megastar Clelia finds her position at the top of the heap under threat from a new challenger with a mysterious benefactor, she and her demonic agent, Father Lev, must prepare for supernatural war. Sexy demonic stuff is Mirka Andolfo's bread and butter, so this is right up her alley (and yours, if you're a fan!)

• CEMETARY KIDS DON'T DIE #1 - The Dreamwave is a gaming breathrough: a virtual reality accessed in your sleep. The biggest game is a fantasy horror game in which people take on vicious bosses, the worst of which is the creature called King of Sleep. Four young people, the self-titled "Cemetary Kids", play it obsessively, but when one of them doesn't wake up, the others have to journey back into the game to rescue their pal. A bit of sci-fi horror from Zac Thompson and Daniel Irizarri.

• ALIEN BLACK WHITE & BLOOD #1 - The xenomorphs get the BW&B (and apparently maybe some green) treatment in this anthology mini.  This issue sees contributions from Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing, Ryan Cady, Stephanie Phillips, , Dev Pramanik, Marcelo Ferreira & Michael Dowling.

• PREDATOR THE LAST HUNT #1 - The Predator relaunches again, but at least has the decency to give it a subtitle this time! You wouldn't believe the headaches the endless "Alien" relaunches cause in our nnew comics sales tracking. Err...anyway, Ed Brisson & Francesco Manna introduce us to a potent new threat in the Super Predator.

And that's all she wrote for this week! See you next time, for leap year!

Andrew.
