From Black Mask this week a new series called The Wilds debuts. Written by Vita Ayala with art by Emily Pearson. After a cataclysmic plague sweeps across America, survivors come together to form citystate-like communities for safety. Daisy Walker is a Runner for The Compound, a mix of post-apocalyptic postal service and black market salvaging operation. It is a Runner’s job to ferry items and people between settlements, and on occasion scavenge through the ruins of the old world. Daisy is the best there is at what she does. Out beyond the settlement walls are innumerable dangers: feral animals, crumbling structures, and Abominations – those that were touched by the plague and became something other. After a decade of surviving, Daisy isn’t phased by any of it – until her lover, another Runner named Heather, goes missing on a job. Desperate to find her, Daisy begins to see that there may be little difference between the world inside the walls and the horrors beyond.
From Boom! Studios this week, Jim Henson’s Labyrinth gets a monthly comic treatment. Written by Simon Spurrier with Daniel Bayliss on art the series is titled Coronation and is a prequel to the feature film!
