TOXIC SUMMER (2024)

FROM THE MUTATED MIND OF EISNER AWARD-WINNING CARTOONIST DEREK CHARM (JUGHEAD, THE UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL) COMES A MONSTER-SIZED 48-PAGE NIGHTMARE BEACH PARTY THAT WILL KEEP YOU UP ALL NIGHT . . . IF YOU CAN LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO TELL THE TALE! Best friends Ben and Leo had the perfect summer planned after high school graduation. As lifeguards in the idyllic beach town of Port Dorian, they were planning for three months of hot guys, late-night bonfires, and no regrets . . . until a toxic spill of unknown properties on the beach transformed their dream summer into a waking nightmare. Now Port Dorian is flooded with panicked tourists, a local researcher is paralyzed while investigating the spill, and a horrifying pack of subhuman monstrosities is snatching beachgoers in the night. Mix one part Riverdale with one part The Creature from the Black Lagoon and drink it down fast because this bi-monthly horror shocker comes packed with enough acidic sludge, perverted beach maniacs, and ill will to ruin anyone's first summer away from home!

BEACH BLANKET BLOODBATH! Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Derek Charm (Jughead) is headed back to the beach for the next suntan lotion-lathered chapter of the summer's most tongue-in-cheek frightfest! Ben and Leo arrive at the bonfire beach party ready to cut loose, only to find the site seemingly abandoned in the wake of the attack . . . until Amy nabs them from her hiding place! Together they learn from Roger-Amy's dad and the same man they rescued in a catatonic state in the ocean with GLOWING EYES the night before-that this toxic spill and the emergence of tentacled monsters from the deep began right after he removed an ancient relic of a highly advanced civilization from the ocean floor. Is there still time to return it and get this sexy summer back on track?

STAB! GASP! SPLASH! From Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Derek Charm (Jughead), the summer's most joyous horror-comedy hit takes its final chapter into the deep end! Leo and Ben desperately fight off the invading scourge of monsters from the deep as more of their friends and family emerge with glowing eyes, victims of the strange trance. Roger finally learns what havoc he unleashed when he removed the ancient relic from the ocean floor, and what it will take to put things right again and save summer-and the people-in Port Dorian.
