Art by Sergio Carrera
24pgs, FC, (3 of 4), SRP: $3.99
Diamond Code: JUN083750

Award-winning mystery novelist Gary Phillips came to BOOM! with the best idea they'd heard yet. THE SOPRANOS was the soap opera of upper-class mob life. What do you get, Gary asked, when you transplant that tension to the African-American gangs in inner-city L.A.? Answer- you get the story of CQ, a young man who thought the mob was his family, until it turned on him, forcing him to fight against California's crime families to stay alive! A potent mix of AMERICAN GANGSTER and THE WIRE for fans of Brubaker's CRIMINAL.

24pgs, FC, (1 of4) SRP: $3.99

In last month's Cthulu Tales #5, Mark Waid seeded clues and hints to the scope of BOOM!'s new "horrorverse". Now that the Necronomicon has been opened, writer William Messner-Loebs brings you the next chapter as he reveals the origins of the forbidden book of legend--and how its catastrophic influence will soon spread over the BOOM! line of titles!

BOOM!'s first horror-romance continues! Wrighty, the Shambling Terror of Rumson, continues to try to win the heart of high-schooler Molly by smiting her enemies. Oh, if only Wrighty's idea of "exacting justice" didn't involve hot tar, we'd make him a BOOM! editor. Writer Brendan Hay from THE BAILT SHOW continues to bring a AMERICAN PIE-meets-FRIDAY THE 13th darkness to his comedy. Or comedy to his darkness.

Art by Leno Jefferson
24pgs, FC, (3 of 5), SRP: $3.99
