RETIREMENT PLAN #1
(W) Matt Kindt (A) Juan José Ryp
Covers: Klaus Janson, Wassily Kandinsky, Ilya Repin, Valentin Serov, Vasili Pukirev, Juan José Ryp, Klaus Janson (Virgin), Burn After Reading Edition
They should have left him alone! New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (BRZRKR) and superstar artist Juan José Ryp (WOLVERINE) combine their powers to unleash a brutal new oversized blockbuster. Chris Tracey is a highly-trained Russian sleeper agent embedded deep within the Midwestern United States. For 40 years, he’s lived under an assumed identity, waiting for the day Russia calls him into action. Every morning, he checks the newspaper for a secret code only he would recognize. Every morning, it isn’t there. Then the Soviet Union collapses. Years become decades. Chris builds a life. And at 65 years old, he’s finally accepted the obvious: the call is never coming. Until one morning, he opens the newspaper and sees the code. Has Chris Tracey really been activated after 40 years—or is it just a coincidence? Either way, Chris isn’t taking any chances. The suits may not fit like they used to. His tradecraft is a little rusty. And the world of espionage has changed a lot since 1986. But Chris Tracey was trained to be one of the most dangerous spies alive. He’s waited forty years for his first mission. He’s not going to miss it. 40 Pages • On Sale November 4, 2026 • $6.99

OLYMPUS SAGA: MEGALITH DELUXE EDITION HC
(W) Matt Kindt (A) Lewis LaRosa, Jonathan Marks Barravecchia, Ramon Villalobos, Tomás Giorello, Anand Ramcheron
Cover: Leinil Francis Yu
A breathtaking, bone-crushing cosmic odyssey from New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (BRZRKR) and master illustrator Lewis LaRosa (Punisher Max). Twenty minutes ago, a massive monolith crashed into the heart of Baltimore, obliterating 16 square blocks. No one knows where it came from or why. Somehow, the monstrous deep space object evaded the global surveillance net. Three elite breach teams were dispatched to penetrate its outer shell and disable it. Ten minutes ago, it sprouted tendrils that began ripping apart nearby streets, cars and even people using the raw material to print itself larger. Police, SWAT, the Feds, even NORAD were powerless to stop it. Just two minutes ago, the megalithic anomaly achieved its final form — a gigantic, hundred-story tall, humanoid, mecha-robot — then began marching towards Washington, DC. Now, our only hope is Officer Jack Casey, a beat cop scarred by the past, who along with what remains of the breach teams must scale the robot from the inside. If they can reach the head, they can destroy it, but time is running out. The government has scrambled a nuclear response and the world has just learned that a second, bigger monolith is about to impact Earth. Collecting Olympus Saga: Megalith #0-3 – the best-selling series that redefined the comic book blockbuster event – this Deluxe Edition features reproductions of every single page of Lewis LaRosa’s breathtaking black and white art and comes packed with bonus material including designs, process art, sketches, and more! 256 Pages • On Sale November 11, 2026 • $49.99
