Cover Price: $5.99
Release Date: July 24, 2024
Magician on trial! Despite Zatanna’s willful determination to avoid
Real Magic at all costs, a terrifying showdown with the
interdimensional demon that interrupted her stage show reveals that

hoped. Now a mysterious group of magic casters emerges from the
shadows to accuse her of wielding great and terrible power against
one of their own—her late father and greatest shame, Giovanni

Artist: Laura Braga
Publisher: Archie Comics
Cover Price: $3.99
Release Date: July 17, 2024
When new student Trula Twyst comes to Riverdale, her mysterious and
quiet nature doesn't mix well with the squeaky-clean façade of
Riverdale High. Tormented by her past and with a keen interest in
Behavioral Psychology, she sets her sights on dismantling the
traditional high school hierarchy from within. How? By a simple
game of Truth or Dare... This horror one shot is smart, sexy, and
for fans of movies like Escape Room, Saw, and Girl,
Interrupted.

BOTTOMS UP!
Writer: Barbara Benas
Artist: Barbara Benas
Publisher: Silver Sprocket Press
Cover Price: $9.99
Release Date: July 31, 2024
A story that's 1 part recipe blog, 1 part comic book, with a dash
of sardonic humor, a dollop of existential dread, and a pinch of
gig economy camaraderie! Suzette is an over-kneaded and
over-proofed pastry chef, running a cooking blog and doing her best
to share whatever culinary wisdom she's managed to scrape from the
city's top kitchens. Her latest post introduces "interview
tiramisu," a dessert so good it'll land her a juicy new job
opportunity. Yet as she runs all over town acquiring the very best
ingredients, why does she get the creeping feeling that
everything's about to go really, really wrong? Published with a
cardstock cover and foil accents.
