One of the darkest things that Marguerite Bennett and James Tynion IV have written debuts this week! ODIN #1 is now available at your local comic shop!
MINISERIES PREMIERE Green Room meets Midsommar in JAMES TYNION’s most relentless Horror story yet! Adela will do anything for the perfect story. Including going undercover with Neo Nazi punks headed to the frozen forests of Norway under the misbegotten belief that they can summon Odin and achieve their promised white destiny. But what awaits them in the woods is far older and stranger than any of them can comprehend. And no gods are coming to answer their prayers for help. Multiple Eisner Award-winning creator JAMES TYNION IV (Exquisite Corpses), no-holds-barred writer MARGUERITE BENNETT (Witchblade), rising star artist LETIZIA CADONICI (House of Slaughter), and Eisner Award-winning colorist JORDIE BELLAIRE (Redlands) conjure a hallucinogenic horror story that leaves absolutely no taboo unbroken.

Beast of Borikén #1
FOC: May 25th, 2026
OSD: July 1st, 2026
In contemporary Puerto Rico, Loli Flores is a fierce activist fighting the overdevelopment of the island by outside investors. When a ground-breaking ceremony is violently interrupted by a supernatural force, Loli discovers that the stories of el Chupacabra are not just echoes from the past, but a brutal protector of generations extending back to the indigenous people of the island. As Loli uncovers the horrors firsthand, el Chupacabra is on a parallel path with elemental destruction left in his wake.
But wait, there’s more! This issue includes an all-new True Weird short story by Justin Jordan (Spread), Tony Akins (Red Hood: The Hill), and Aditya Bidikar (In Your Skin).
