We’re off the grill and into the fryer with this one, gang. Marty and Alison go deep undercover in the headquarters of the Church of the Immortal Heartbeat, but can their squishy mortal minds stand up to the devilish dilemmas that await them inside? ALSO, Bernice and Veronika Vargas-Vo go head-to-head, and it’s going to be messier than the back booths after a youth soccer team lunch. You know the kids we’re talking about. It’s secrets, lies, and a side of fries in “Soft Skills and C-Minus Nachos,” from SCOTT BRYAN WILSON (Batman: Gotham Nights, Pennyworth) and LIANA KANGAS (Star Wars Adventures, She Said Destroy).
A strip mall heist, a satanic cult, and another lousy shift at a minimum wage job—grab a #2 with fries and settle in for a hilarious thrill ride! Marty Tarantella has been flipping burgers for 15 years. He has no kids, no hobbies, no love interests, and, essentially, no life. But what he does have is a plan to change everything. Years of watching the daily rhythms of the neighboring stores has given Marty the idea for a perfect heist, but when he accidentally steals a supernatural weapon from a cult full of violent lunatics, the resulting Satanic panic will be way above his minimum-wage pay grade. Nothing can prepare you for the coming of TRVE KVLT, a deliciously horrifying and hilarious new series from SCOTT BRYAN WILSON (Batman: Gotham Nights, Pennyworth) and LIANA KANGAS (Star Wars Adventures, She Said Destroy, Razorblades).
The Indigenous chrononauts’ plot to sabotage the mission to the so-called New World takes a strange turn. Reeling from disaster, the Niña’s crew places Tad under lock and key and Columbus develops a disturbing personal interest in his would-be assassin. As the admiral lets down his guard to decide if this prisoner is a godsend or Satan himself, Tad moves to make the most of the situation. But as his influence on the past intensifies, his wife and friends in 2112 find themselves in the crosshairs of a new history.
The Satanic Panic continues! Marty realizes that Burger Lord wasn’t so bad compared to the job the Church of the Immortal Heartbeat has in store for him and Alison. Meanwhile, Bernice goes all CSI trying to figure out what’s going on, and somebody’s gonna make out with Ratblood in the parking lot! But WHO?! Hope you’ve got that extra-large soda ready, because things are getting spicy in this very special episode of Trve Kvlt, from the devilishly dynamic duo of LIANA KANGAS (Star Wars Adventures, She Said Destroy) and SCOTT BRYAN WILSON (Batman: Gotham Knights, Pennyworth).
Bernice is in Hell (figuratively) as she and an unusually introspective Veronika search for Marty and Alison, who are in Hell (literally), which isn’t fun but is still better than being elbow deep in a broken milkshake machine with angry customers screaming at you. Satan and his demons walk the Earth, the age of endless pain is nigh, and two fan favorites from issue one finally make their triumphant return! It’s going to be a hell of a time in the super special final issue of TRVE KVLT from SCOTT BRYAN WILSON (Batman: Gotham Nights, Altered Carbon, Pennyworth) and LIANA KANGAS (Star Wars Adventures, She Said Destroy).
Marty and Alison face the supremely creepy Doctor Shiver! Escape from the subterranean skyscraper! Veronika brags about her allegiance to Satan!!! Bernice listens to her!!! Stunning PENULTIMATE EPISODE!!! Are you with us?! You better be because “There’s No One Else I’d Rather Be Incinerated and Sent to Hell with Than You”—that’s the title of the issue, BTW— is how we feel about you. From LIANA KANGAS (Star Wars Adventures, She Said Destroy) and SCOTT BRYAN WILSON (Batman: Gotham Nights, Altered Carbon, Pennyworth).

Black metal is a paradox. A noisy underground metal genre brimming with violence and virulence, it has captured the world’s imagination for its harsh yet flamboyant style and infamous history involving arson, blasphemy, and murder. Today black metal is nothing less than a cultural battleground between those who claim it for nationalist and racist ends, and those who say: Nazi black metal fvck off! Black Metal Rainbows is a radical collection of writers, artists, activists, and visionaries, including Drew Daniel, Kim Kelly, Laina Dawes, Espi Kvlt, Hunter Hunt-Hendrix, Svein Egil Hatlevik, Eugene S. Robinson, Margaret Killjoy, and many more. Across essays and theory-fictions, artworks and comics, we say out loud: Long live black metal’s trve rainbow! This unique volume envisions black metal as always already open, inclusive, and unlimited: a musical genre whose vital spirit of total antagonism rebels against the forces of political conservatism. Beyond its clichés of grimness, nihilism, reaction, and signature black/white corpse-paint sneer, black metal today is a vibrant and revolutionary paradigm. This book reveals its ludic, carnival worlds animated by spirits of joy and celebration, community and care, queerness and camp, LGBTQI+ identities and antifascist, antiracist, and left-wing politics, not to mention endless aesthetic experimentation and fabulousness. From the crypt to the cloud, Black Metal Rainbows unearths black metal’s sparkling core and illuminates its prismatic spectrum: deep within the black, far beyond grimness, and over a darkly glittering rainbow!
Juggling work and family can be... hell. Calvin & Hobbes meets Call of Cthulhu as the sensationally popular heavy metal webcomic Belzebubs comes to print in a grim, goofy, and gorgeous hardcover. Belzebubs is a "trve kvlt mockumentary" focusing on the everyday challenges of family life: raising kids, running a small business, and making time for worship. Except the kids are named Lilith and Leviathan, the business is a black-metal band, and the worship... isn't exactly aimed upstairs. In a few short years, what started out as improvised social-media doodles has now become a wildly successful webcomic with hundreds of thousands of fans. The irresistible cartooning of JP Ahonen (Sing No Evil) combines relatable slice-of-life humor with over-the-top occult antics and references from metal music to Lovecraftian horror, making Belzebubs a devil of a good time.
