X-Files / 30 Days Of Night #1

Cover by Andrea Sorrentino

Two of the most popular horror properties of the last two decades collide in this harrowing 6-issue adventure of epic proportions! Co-writers Steve Niles (writer and co-creator of 30 Days of Night) and rockstar-turned-writer Adam Jones (the band Tool) team with the amazing, moody artistry of industry legend Tom Mandrake (The Spectre, Batman) to unleash the ultimate comic culture crossover!

When evidence of a possible cannibal killer in Wainright, Alaska, draws the attention of the FBI, Agents Mulder and Scully draw the less-than-glamorous assignment. But all is not as it seems once the agents are on the ground. Not only has the long seasonal darkness begun to fall, but there's something unnatural about a few of the locals. And what does a chilling, mysterious black ship have to do with the murders?

AGON - new sci-fi comic from Zenescope

When Earth receives a broadcast from an extremely advanced alien species in the form of a mysterious and frightening blood-red rain storm, humanity is offered a simple choice: compete in an ancient interplanetary combat ritual or watch as Earth is methodically destroyed.

Ten human warriors must now be chosen to fight in a battle that pits highly evolved species from various worlds against one another. This ancient and deadly tournament will ultimately decide the fate of our planet as well as three others. It is time to fight for humanity, it is time for AGON.
