The streets of Rome run red with blood as David (CROSSED) Lapham brings a startling conclusion to the story of the most feared Emperor of time, Caligula!

Having been tasked to record the gospel of Caligula, can a mortal man decipher the supernatural secrets of Rome's most despised despot and put an end to the insanity? David Lapham drags fans into the darkest corners of Rome's history and dares you to stare down the madness within. German Nobile illustrates this final gruesome chapter in the Caligula epic. Caligula #6 is available with a Regular cover by Jacen Burrows, a Wraparound cover by series artist German Nobile, and a special Golden age of Rome retailer incentive cover.

With the first printing of the first Castle Waiting collection selling out almost instantaneously, the second volume of the series continues the humorous, solid storytelling Linda Medley is known for. In this issue Tolly, Jain, and Simon continue to be shocked at what they do - and don't - find in the Castle's secret passageways. Meanwhile, Chess struggles to face one of his greatest lifelong terrors, and Dr. Fell has lunch. A fable for modern times, Castle Waiting is a fairy tale that's not about rescuing the princess, saving the kingdom, or fighting the ultimate war between Good and Evil - but about being a hero in your own home.
