The Top 5
DISNEY VILLAINS: HADES #1
(W) Elliott Kalan (A) Alessandro Ranaldi (CA) Karen Darboe (VCA) Jae Lee, Trish Forstner & Francesco Tomaselli
FROM THE CLASSIC DISNEY FILM HERCULES – THE LORD OF THE UNDERWORLD FINALLY TAKES CENTER STAGE!
Hades – the lord of darkness! The most deceitful and scheming of the Greek gods!
The one god not invited to the weekly brunch at Mount Olympus!
Obviously, a slight like this calls for the total destruction of the gods of Olympus. To make that happen, the hot-tempered ruler of the underworld needs to acquire the magical Golden Fleece of Colchis. Unfortunately, the Fleece is guarded by a sleepless dragon and soldiers made out of teeth, so Hades assembles a ragtag group of morally questionable adventurers to help him steal the Fleece before some dude named Jason and his Argonaut bros swoop in and ruin his perfectly logical plan. It’s absolute chaotic hilarity courtesy of writer ELLIOTT KALAN (Spider-Man & The X-Men) and artist ALESSANDRO RANALDI (Zorro)!

VICTORY #3
(W) David Walker (A) Brett Weldele (CA) Dave Johnson (VCA) Bryan Hitch, Carla Cohen, Cosplay & More
Meet Victory, erstwhile love of Vampirella, inexplicable object of interest to Lilith and the not-so-proud owner of the Belial ring. Why does that last part matter? Why, because the ring used to belong to a demon, and it draws her to evil. And it’s mystically bonded itself to Victory. Lucky her. On the bright side, it also gives her nifty powers like flight, mystic bolts, and she can even make that energy take specific shapes like she’s the lost third Wonder Twin!
Up until now, Victory has been left wondering why so many demons are trying to kill her to get a ring she’d rather not have, and that is about to lead her to a head-on confrontation with an evil the likes of which she has never known —
— Meet Belilah, the demonic daughter of Belial. We think the covers speak for themselves!
