The Unluckiest Man has a Guardian Angel!, 112 pages - Published by Rainy Elephant, (cc/ @RainyElephant)

Howard Flumsy is such a wimp that he'd faint at the sight of blood! When God realizes he accidentally made him the unluckiest, cowardliest, and weakest man ever, he decides to make things right by giving him a Guardian Angel, Meredith. However, this is more than Howard can handle, as Meredith is a brutal warrior who loves going on killing sprees. Howard's cosmic bad luck keeps getting him into situations where Meredith unleashes unrelenting cruelty, and it gets him caught up in a plot to kill God himself!

MIDLIFE (OR HOW TO HERO AT FIFTY!), 125 pages - Published by Image Comics, (cc/ @GCpartnerships)

SERIES PREMIERE RUBEN KWAN is a 50-year-old firefighter who’s been afraid of fire his whole life. Instead of running into burning buildings, he pushes papers, living in the shadow of his father—who died a hero on the job. After 25 years in the LAFD, he’s firmly in the middle of an unremarkable life…until his new wife gets pregnant and a random act of courage reveals that Ruben is FIREPROOF! New York Times-bestselling writer BRIAN BUCCELLATO (NO/ONE, The Flash, Chicken Devil) teams up with star artist STEFANO SIMEONE (THE LAST DAYS OF BLACK HAMMER, RADIANT BLACK) to tell the totally relatable (sometimes cringey) story of a middle-aged dad who’s about to find out that his new powers have major strings attached.

Yoobies, 48 pages - Published by Odyssey Comics, (cc/ @odysseycomics)

In a world much like our own, 5% of America’s population are meta-humans cursed with useless and ludicrous powers. There is no cure, and there is no sympathy for any who has befallen this fate. Instead, society stigmatized those newly branded “Y-Gener’s”, treating the collective group as jokes with no real worth. It's here, amongst the prejudice and bias, that a teen super-team steps up to the plate — The Yoobies! Ready to show the world what they are really made of, that every person has worth, and that no labels can hold them back from being heroes!
