‘The Stand’ Gets Even Darker This Summer With The Newly Announced ‘Hardcases’!
Arguably the most literary, and engrossing series going on right now from horror legend Stephen King is his continuing spin-offs of his equally legendary novel “THE STAND”. So it should come as absolutely no surprise that today Marvel Comics revealed plans to continue the series with yet another original arc titled “HARDCASES”. Inside you can find all the details on the new arc set to begin its run this June. “The stage is now set for the final confrontation as the two camps become aware of one another, and each recognizes the other as a threat to its survival, leading to the “stand” of good against evil. There is no pitched battle, however. Instead, at Mother Abagail’s dying behest, Stu, Larry, Ralph and Glen set off on foot towards Las Vegas on an expedition to confront Randall Flagg. Stu breaks his leg en route and drops out. He encourages the others to leave without him, telling them that God will provide for him. Glen’s dog stays behind with Stu. Glen, Ralph, and Larry soon encounter Flagg’s men, who take them prisoner. When Glen rejects an opportunity to be spared if he kneels and begs Flagg, he is shot by Lloyd Henreid, on Flagg’s direct order. Flagg gathers his entire collective to witness the execution of the other two, but before it can take place, Trashcan Man arrives with a nuclear warhead and a giant glowing hand—”The Hand of God”—detonates the bomb, destroying Flagg’s followers and the two remaining prisoners.”

“The Trashcan Man was spared for a reason. To join the Dark Man Randall Flagg’s swelling army and to set the world on fire. It’s a dream come true for the pyromaniac, but he has to reach Flagg’s compound in Las Vegas first–and, somehow, survive crossing paths with “the Kid,” a hardcase who’s even crazier and more dangerous than Trashy is! The villains are front-and-center as we cross the mid-point of this epic adaptation of Stephen King’s horror masterpiece!”

‘Ghostbusters: Back in Town’ – New Series from Dark Horse Comics Takes Place Between ‘Afterlife’ and ‘Frozen Empire’
Ahead of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire releasing in theaters next year, Dark Horse Comics has announced that a four-issue series titled Ghostbusters: Back in Town is on the way.
The all-new ghostbusting adventure bridges the gap between Ghostbusters: Afterlife and its upcoming sequel Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.
A year and a half after the events of Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the Ghostbusters are officially back in business and headed to where it all began: New York City! Callie, Gary, Trevor, and Phoebe are moving into the Firehouse and ready to take on the Spengler family business…or are they?
Ghostbusting on top of changing family dynamics has a way of going awry––and that’s exactly what one paranormal force is counting on.
Featuring writing by David Booher (Canto, Killer Queens), art by Blue Delliquanti (Adversary, Across a Field of Starlight), colors by Mildred Louis (Rick and Morty), and letters by Jimmy Betancourt of Comicraft, Ghostbusters: Back in Town continues the cultural phenomenon.
The first issue’s cover will be illustrated by Kyle Lambert, with a variant cover by Steve Morris.
On the new series, Jason Reitman said, “Our friends at Dark Horse have picked up the Spengler family and hand delivered them to Manhattan where they will begin their journey back into Ghostbusting! It has been a personal thrill to collaborate with this incredible group of artists and storytellers on new chapters in the proton jungle.”
Ghostbusters: Back in Town #1 (of 4) scares its way into comic shops on March 27, 2024. It is now available to pre-order for $3.99 at your local comic shop.
