Out this week: Magick Lantern #1 (Floating World Comics, $4.99): 

This is one of those titles I’m not sure I could do justice in my write-up, so I’ll just share the solicitation text: LIKE A SHOTGUN BLAST TO THE 3RD EYE! Tech Billionaire Elon Gates thought he could play God. Only God wasn’t playing along! Join underground breakout talent@Jinx and Pop Art shaman Shaky Kane as they charge up the Cybertruck and head out into The Chaos Dimension to bring you this all-new book-length tale, cryptically entitled I AM THE FLY! It’s by Jinx and Shaky Kane, and it should be a hoot.
