Writer/Artist: Ted Naifeh
Publisher: Oni Press
A brand new dark fantasy epic from the mind of Ted Naifeh (Courtney Crumrin, Princess Ugg, Batman ‘66) begins here!
Umber: an ancient, sprawling city where the rich live like kings and the poor are lucky to get their scraps. At its center, the tower of Uhlume rises, guarding untold riches. Though heavily guarded, with the right plan... the right people... the treasure is free for the taking. Enter our five players: the Bard, the Acolyte, the Asp, the Magus... and a barmaid? But this barmaid knows the city better than anyone. This barmaid hides a dark secret. And this barmaid needs to make a lot of money... fast.

Publisher: Archie Comics
Archie and Jughead have been playing their instruments in Archie’s garage for a while, but now it’s finally time for them to take their talents elsewhere. Veronica suggests that the two form a band—assuming, of course, that she gets to be their lead singer. This bothers Betty, since music was a deep connection that she had always shared with Archie—so she’ll just have to form her own rival band. Now it’s #TeamArchie vs. #TeamBetty in a battle of the bands that has the whole school picking sides!
