BOOM
BEE AND PUPPYCAT #5 

 Bee is going to have to figure out a way to stop time if she's going to be able to keep up
with all the temp work heading her way! With the help of PuppyCat, it looks like there is
nothing that can stop this magical temp worker from getting stuff done...except maybe an
unexpected guest crashing into her apartment.
CLIVE BARKERS NIGHTBREED #6
MEMETIC #1 (OF 3)

 WHY WE LOVE IT: After launching James Tynion IV's THE WOODS to much acclaim, we were eager to see what other ideas he had. When James-one of our favourite new voices in comics-pitched us MEMETIC as a tale of the apocalypse in three parts, we were sold!
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: MEMETIC is truly an event comic-three oversized, 48page issues detailing the end of the world over the course of three days, and a wholly unique take on the disaster genre. Much like his work on THE WOODS, James Tynion IV and fantastic newcomer Eryk Donovan (THE HOUSE IN THE WALL) will bring horror to a whole new generation and fans of Jhorror films like UZUMAKI and THE RING.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: A Meme is an idea that starts with an individual, and then spreads throughout multiple persons and potentially entire societies. Richard Dawkins suggests a meme's success comes from its effectiveness to the host. But history shows that destructive memes can spread just as rapidly through society. MEMETIC shows the progression of a weaponized meme that leads to the utter annihilation of the human race within 72 hours. The root of this apocalypse is a single image on the internet, a "meme" in the popular sense. A meme that changes everything.

With all of the world's threats having been handled long ago by their parents, the next generation of supers - including Chris Kent, Damien Wayne, Alexis Luthor, Offspring, Megamorpho, Donna Troy and more - find themselves labelled as superstars more often than super heroes. But with that fame comes complacency, and when a massive threat unlike anything they've ever seen surfaces, this pampered crew finds themselves in way over their head. What secret is Damien keeping from Chris that could tear the world's finest friends apart? Who is the mysterious killer lurking behind the scenes among these spoiled super-children? And what chance do they stand against the monstrous villain that's murdering its way across the Multiverse? All that and more in this exciting stand-alone issue which also acts as chapter three of the MULTIVERSITY saga. Join us, if your dare, for THE MULTIVERSITY!
