STEPHEN
FAITHLESS #2
Writer: Brian Azzarello
Artist: Maria Llovet
Publisher: BOOM! Studios
Cover Price: $4.99
Release Date: May 22, 2019
Faith is drawn into a new world when she attends a party at the home of world renown artist Louis Thorn. It's a world of opulence, excess, and sensuality-and something darker that she can't put her finger on. There is something... curious about these people, a darkness or shadow just at the edge of reason... and maybe it is exactly what Faith is looking for.

MATTHEW
THE TERRIFICS #16
Writer: Gene Luen Yang
Artist: Stephen Segovia
Publisher: DC Comics
Cover Price: $3.99
Release Date: May 22, 2019

The Terrifics have entered cyberspace for a battle unlike any they have faced before. It's a battle against...God? Well, the science is still out on that, but as our heroes face off against all manner of monstrous plagues, things do seem to be reaching biblical proportions. Could the key to all this be the mysterious Pixel?

Mad scientist Kinga Forrester, determined to become the Queen of All Media, nearly has the world of comics in her grasp. But she has not reckoned with the nihilistic power of the Crow Keeper!
