Euphoria Essential Edition is a new streamlined version of the Euphoria: Build a Better Dystopia that was published in 2013 by Stonemaier Games. The game feel the same, but some of the small added details have been changed as well as the graphic design of the board. I have played the original a couple times a couple years ago, and do think the new changes help with playability, and its graphic design makes it easier to play and know what to do in the game.

Today, Marvel Comics announced new variant covers for the debut issues of their upcoming Midnight line—Midnight Spider-Man #1 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and ScieTronc, Midnight Fantastic Four#1 by Benjamin Percy and Kev Walker, and Midnight X-Men #1 by Jonathan Hickman and Matteo Della Fonte—and announces all-new variant covers, including a new connecting cover by While the stories found inside the Midnight series may be unpredictable, Marvel is hoping that the variant cover process won’t be.

S.M. Hallow’s The Halls of the Dead examines one of horror’s oldest truths. That resurrection is never really about bringing back the dead. It is about refusing to let go. Every spell and every impossible act of necromancy becomes an expression of grief so profound that it reshapes the world around it. Wrapped in Gothic architecture and startling body horror, Hallow’s debut novel transforms a familiar premise into something remarkably intimate and wonderfully grotesque.

Horror has always been well equipped to explore the instability of identity, and A.P. Thayer’s Tapeworm embraces that tradition with remarkable confidence. On its surface, the novel promises an almost outrageous premise: parasitic vampire worms lurking beneath an isolated California desert town. But beneath the viscera and blood is a mediation on desire, what intimacy really means, and the fear of becoming someone you no longer recognize.

Oni Press and Archie have revealed a first look inside the pages of Sabrina The Teenage Witch#1. This October – just in time for Halloween – writer Corinna Bechko (Green Lantern: Earth One, EC’s Blood Type) and artist Kano (Daredevil, EC’s Cruel Universe) summon a new spell of magic and mischief in a brand-new ongoing series bringing Archie’s sorceress-in-training into a new era. “I couldn’t have conjured a project I’d be more excited to write than SABRINA!” said writer Corinna Bechko.

What if George R. R. Martin’s Fire and Blood was written more like HBO’s House of the Dragon? Caroline and Gretchen analyze Martin’s work from this perspective and search for hidden stories in the text. This week Gretchen and Caroline continue their analysis of The Dying of the Dragons: Rhaenyra Overthrown. The moon of the three kings is upon us, and the Woke Mob supporting Gaemon Palehair is doing terrible harm – like feeding the poor (gross) and suggesting women are people (crazy!).

Oni Press has announced the forthcoming release of Touch Me Someplace Nowhere – the first creator-owned solo series written, illustrated, and colored by Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist and visionary storyteller Tradd Moore (Doctor Strange: Fall Sunrise, The Strange Talent of Luther Strode, Silver Surfer: Black).

Dark academia has become one of romance’s most enduring aesthetics, but Pink Ink by Avina St. Graves refuses to stop at ivy-covered campuses and tortured artists. Instead, it blends psychological thriller elements, secret society intrigue, and morally gray romance into a novel that feels as dangerous as it is seductive. The result is an entertaining story that keeps the reader turning its pages, embracing the darkness while never forgetting to be decadent.

In advance of Comic-Con International 2026 in San Diego, CA, the Nacelle Company,​ Oni Press, and Rebellion have announced a new partnership, which begins with the announcement of Judge Dredd/Biker Mice From Mars #1 –  launching the wreckage-strewn collision of the 22nd Century’s most feared lawman against its hardest-charging mutant outlaws in a no-holds-barred showdown for supremacy.

With Dreamland, Olivia Blake transforms one of Hollywood’s most enduring true crime story into something stranger and deeply introspective. Though loosely inspired by the Black Dahlia murder, the novel does not attempt to retell this tragedy. Instead, it uses its cultural shadow, the mythology, the spectacle surrounding the violence against women, and obsession to construct a haunting narrative about power and the seductive nature of illusions.
