ITEM # W0rldtr33 # 1 - 33

In 1999, Gabriel and his friends discovered the Undernet, a secret architecture to the Internet. They charted their exploration on a message board called W0RLDTR33.
Then they lost control. Someone broke into W0RLDTR33—someone who welcomed the violent hold the Undernet had on them. At great personal cost, Gabriel and the others thought they sealed the Undernet away for good.
They were wrong. And now they will know the meaning of PH34R.
The next major horror outing from multiple Eisner Award-winning writer JAMES TYNION IV (THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH, The Nice House on the Lake) and FERNANDO BLANCO (Detective Comics), along with Eisner-winning colorist JORDIE BELLAIRE and Eisner-nominated letterer ADITYA BIDIKAR, begins here!

ITEM # Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham # 1 - 3

Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham
“When you chase your own shadow…it leads you into the abyss.” In a Gotham City where every day feels darker and more irredeemable than the last, Batman makes a definitive choice—to kill off the Bruce Wayne identity for good and embrace the cowl full-time. But though he knows the streets of Gotham, Batman will soon come to find that he hardly knows himself. A serial killer is on the loose, and while the murder victims seem random at first, every clue draws Batman closer to the terrifying truth—that they are all connected, not just to each other…but to him… When an all-new rogues gallery of utterly depraved villains begins to emerge from the depths of the city, Batman will have to contend with the very nature of evil—including that which lurks inside in the darkest corners of his own heart—to face what’s coming for his city. Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham brings Rafael Grampá’s twisted vision of both the Dark Knight and the city of Gotham to life in a DC writing debut that will reach its icy black tendrils into the deepest and darkest corners of human nature and leave you gasping for breath—and for more!

ITEM # The Maze Agency

  • Genre: Mystery, Crime, Detective Fiction

  • First Published: The series originally debuted in 1988 under Comico Comics, later moving to Innovation Publishing and then IDW before this current version by Scout Comics.

  • Creators:

    • Writer: Mike W. Barr (known for his work on Batman and Camelot 3000)

    • Original Artist: Adam Hughes (who got his start here), although this current version features Silvano Beltramo on art.


Plot Summary:

"The Maze Agency" follows:

  • Jennifer Mays: A tough and brilliant private investigator, and

  • Gabriel Webb: Her partner, a true crime writer with a talent for solving mysteries.

Together, they tackle complex murder cases in the classic whodunit style, often involving locked rooms, cryptic clues, and misdirection — very much in the tradition of Agatha Christie and Ellery Queen.

What sets the comic apart is:

  • It’s a "fair play" mystery: Readers are given all the clues needed to solve the case alongside the protagonists.

  • It blends detective drama with a light romantic subplot between Jennifer and Gabriel.


  • Why It’s Notable:
  • One of the rare comics that focuses on classic mystery-solving rather than action or superhero themes.

  • Revered for intelligent plotting, solid character chemistry, and its nod to Golden Age detective fiction.

  • It helped launch the career of artist Adam Hughes.

  • The new Scout Comics revival brings a more modern art style while honoring the spirit of the original.
