The first Paradox Space comic collection is also out now — find out more…

The Absolute Mag has a cool review of Psychopomp High: From the mind of Mary Borsellino comes Psychopomp High, a story of love and identity set in a high school of the dead. Caleb is a psychopomp with no memory of who he was in life. It doesn’t take him long to meet and befriend Luke and…
