NUMBER 13 #1
The young bionic amnesiac known as Number 13 searches for answers and his creator, in a future world that's been brought to its knees by the vicious Monstrum Morbus plague. Weakened by his last explosive encounter, Number 13 is discovered by a group of curious, scavenging mutants who have banded together for survival. They dub him "Thirteen" and invite him to join their group -- and one of them knows exactly what horrible purpose he was built for!

R.I.P.D.: CITY OF THE DAMNED #1
Roy Pulsipher and Nick Walker are dead, but that doesn't mean their time in law enforcement is over. Both Roy and Nick are officers in the Rest in Peace Department, sworn to serve the Almighty and protect the living from evil's foul corruption. Their current case has them chasing a ghostly fanatic determined to undo all of creation -- a threat with very personal connections to Roy's past, stretching back a hundred years into a weird, Wild West and Roy's first day on the job. It's a twisted history that Nick is only starting to uncover, and one that could have him reconsidering ever joining the R.I.P.D.! Prequel to the upcoming feature film starring Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges!

Weapons fried. Shields busted. Hull breached. The silent flames were all that remained of the Star Pilot’s ship. His enemies long gone and laughing with his frelling booty in their cargo holds. Did they really think that was all it would take to leave the Star Pilot dead in space? Money and fame are gonna have to wait. There are some no good punks that need killing and the Star Pilot is gonna pull the trigger till the blaster goes click. It doesn’t matter where his enemies hide. He’s coming for them and he’s coming in hard. Nothing is going to stop the Star Pilot from putting a hole in his target’s sad little warship. Well, except maybe those ladies at the bar. Hey, what’s a little overnight on the best damn pleasure planet in all the known universe? But you better believe, Star Pilot has revenge on his mind and a firing solution locked. His enemies are gonna learn just how cold and black space can be…
