Then there's a all-new series, Ghosted, created by Guy Adams and Megan Huang. This brain-twisting cyberpunk action story is set in the African city of Kinshasa, where nothing is as it seems!
The vampire vs. alien thriller Silver returns for its second arc, titled Perfidious, brought to you once again by Mike Carroll and Joe Currie, as the Sepsis employ a special operative to hunt down Baroness DeSilva.
