STEPHEN
GHOSTLORE #1
Writer: Cullen Bunn
Artist: Brian Hurtt
Publisher: BOOM! Studios
Cover Price: $4.99
Release Date: May 10, 2023
We've all heard of ghost stories... but what stories do the ghosts themselves tell us?

An estranged daughter and her pastor father wander a haunted land; they only have the restless spirits, each with its own story to tell, as company along the way.

After a deadly accident of which they were the only survivors, Lucas and Harmony Agate can see the dead-an overwhelming amount of the deceased, all with their own warnings, cries for help, and malevolence alike.

But Lucas and Harmony aren't the only ones with this ability; there are other nearly-deads, some of which have malicious motivations...

MATTHEW
THE AMBASSADORS #4
Writer: Mark Millar
Artist: Olivier Coipel
Publisher: Image Comics
Cover Price: $3.99
Release Date: May 10, 2023
Our most action-packed issue yet moves the story to Brazil, where a Catholic priest fighting drug lords is offered a spot on this international super-team-but he's happy just doing God's work in the Barrios.
