MARIAN CHURCHLAND (8HOUSE ARCLIGHT, BEAST) co-writes with CLAIRE GIBSON; with art and colours by SLOANE LEONG. In the first issue of this new fantasy series, old feuds and new monsters rise up to haunt the isolated northern fortress of Karsgate.

The sad, bloody saga of Jason Vorhees is well-chronicled, but one story element of his origin remains untold - that of his mother, Pamela Vorhees! As seen in the original instant classic film, Pamela was a woman unhinged by her son's death at Camp Crystal Lake but what of the woman before that tragic afternoon? And Jason's father Elias?

The gore-drenched showdown of a lifetime erupts in the depths of space as the undead, mass-murderer Jason Voorhees is reborn to face the cybernetically-enhanced and unstoppable future version of himself! As Jason X stalks the halls of an interstellar pleasure cruiser, a deep-space salvage team makes their way into the remnants of the space catamaran Grendel, where the über-Jason was created. Hoping to gut the ship of its most valuable assets, the team instead unwittingly revives a curse that transcends time itself, reawakening the one, original Jason Voorhees. Jason's divided reign of terror will be short-lived, however, as both halves of Earth's most dreaded serial killer are drawn to one another for a confrontation that can have only one victor... and one survivor! Fan-favorite creator Mike Wolfer brings this epic bloodbath to life in this vicious two-issue series, both offered this month!

The hit team of the sold out Friday Special return for a new three issue gore-filled series featuring Jason Voorhees! With Brian Pulido writing and Mike Wolfer on art, you know it will be an violent bloodbath of carnage! On the shore of pristine Crystal Lake lies the long-neglected Camp Tomorrow, badly in need of rehabilitation. Charged with reforming the camp, ten teenagers have come to the site with the hopes of earning a quick paycheck and partaking in the most decadent party-filled weekend of their lives. But as their first night of debauchery commences, they begin to learn, one by one, that their surprisingly common family backgrounds are a little too coincidental... And that their presence has reawakened the curse of Jason Voorhees! Striking forth from the shadows in an unrelenting orgy of blood, Jason will defend his territory at all costs, but is he truly the hunter or actually the prey in a much larger and more sinister plot?

Crystal Lake was a cursed, bloody location long before the arrival of Pamela Voorhees and her son Jason. The history of the surrounding area is a roadmap of tragedy and death, but one particular moment in the lake's history stands out above all...and that story will be told for the first time by Ron 'Machete' Marz and Mike 'Hockey Mask' Huddleston! Horror will have a new face in 2008!

A special one-shot! Maggie's life was never easy, but her abusive new boyfriend has pushed her over the edge. As her life spirals out of control, she hits upon the solution to her problems: use the local urban legend to "solve" the problems in her life. But what happens when she learns there's very little "legend" in the reality of Jason Voorhees?

Teenager Davie Falkner was born with a skull deformity that makes him the butt of nearly every joke. When his parents send him to camp, he learns that being different might just save your life at Camp Crystal Lake!

After the events of Freddy vs. Jason, Laura Upland has had it. She's one of two squabbling siblings who have inherited the land Camp Crystal Lake was built on. Their latest stalemate is how to deal with the destruction done at the Crystal Lake Resorts. Laura knows Jason Voorhees caused it. He is out there, and until he's done in, they won't be able to sell those lucrative time-shares. Unknown to her brother Miles, she enacts a plan to kill Jason that will rip her family apart. Literally. Can a paramilitary group, armed to the teeth, survive against a supernaturally unstoppable killing machine? Take a guess!

Summary:

Don't miss the first two issues of a blood-soaked 6-part miniseries drawing together three of horror's greatest characters! In the bloody wake of the hit movie Freddy vs. Jason, Freddy Krueger finds himself clinging to the last shred of fear that allows him to exist…inside the demented mind of Jason Voorhees. Unwillingly bonded together, the murderous pair must seek out the Necronomicon, the only solution to their mutual torment. Nothing can stop this unholy alliance -- except the wisecracking, chainsaw-wielding Ash, aimed at destroying the Book of the Dead once and for all!

Hundreds of years in the future, Manhattan has become a deadly slum, run by mutant crime-lords and disinterested cops. Stuck in the middle is a young girl who thought she had no future, but learns she has a great destiny. In a world so poisoned that it doesn't notice the monsters on its streets, how can a street kid like Fray unite a fallen city against a demonic plot to consume mankind? Joss Whedon, the celebrated creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, brings his vision to the future in this unique tale. As inventive in the comics medium as in that of television or film, Whedon spins a complex tale of a skilled thief coming of age without the help of friends or family, guided only by a demonic Watcher.

Mary Shelley’s classic, resurrected in the mighty Marvel manner! The most spine-tingling read in English literature, Frankenstein tells the tale of the monstrosity in man and man's creation. In the Arctic wild, explorer Robert Walton IV uncovers the body of a creature too nightmarish for words. Behold, the monster of Victor Frankenstein!

When the leader of New Transylvania's criminal underworld unleashes an army of automatons, Frankenbabe must protect the civilian population. Meanwhile, she must discover the identity of the demon who hunts her.

Fight Club returns, in brand new format- COMICS!!! So, of course I jumped at the chance to read this book- I mean, who wouldn’t at least give it a chance? It’s a Palahniuk sequel, in comic book form- so all those characters that seemed larger than life, impossible to be real when captured on film, now have an even bigger sandbox to play in and it’s one where (for myself, at the very least) the suspension of disbelief for situations such as this one come much more easily.

Blending elements of crime noir with classic monster horror, FERALS #1 begins with the personal tale of Officer Dale Chesnutt, a lawman in the sleepy town of Cypress. Folks are turning up not just dead, but slaughtered in bestial fashion. His investigation leads him to a tantalizing woman… and a mystery that dates back centuries. “It starts with small town people, folks with their own little dynamic, and a small town cop who is a charmer, a womanizer, a screw-up,” says Lapham. “He suddenly is hit by the ‘stray bullets’ and finds himself in a whole new world that’s plenty dark and twisted.”

Marvel's supernatural and horror corner is brought to light with the introduction of terrors and oddoties including Man-Thing and Howard the Duck!
