Imagine being at your favorite local comic shop, and popping just around the corner of the well-worn bookshelves is not one but four new comic book releases, seeping with anticipation and mystery. The drafty air carries the scent of paper and ink and the sound of excitement murmurs towards you — it’s September and the release of superior comic books are upon us.

The Cursed Library follows the spirited Danni Malloy in an epic tale filled with enchanted books, diabolical diviners and, naturally, Lucifer himself making an appearance over dinner like the terribly imposing in-law he is at family gatherings. This month will see the release of the second issue of a tantalizing three-part saga, ‘Omega.’ Jinx, Danni’s trusty sidekick, is transported to a creepy resemblant world of her own life sans her beloved friend, Danni while Madam Satan faces jail-time. All this makes for a narrative rollercoaster that leaves readers begging for more. Action? Intrigue? A fiery trip to the netherworld? ‘Omega’ is certainly gearing up to have it all.

Next up, Sabrina is ready to cast some chaos in Sabrina Annual Spectacular (One-Shot). With Amber Nightstone coming back ready for war with all her cultivated malevolence, the stakes have never been higher. And when the malevolence spun out of control – even for Amber – it’s up to Sabrina to stop the impending doom.
