Damien Kane was going on twenty-four when the pains began. His eyes would feel like orbs of molten metal in their sockets; the muscles in his abdomen would stretch and shriek like tortured cats. Damien did what anyone would do under the circumstances - he called the only family he'd known since his parents died, the U.S. Army. They flew him to an Army base in Louisiana where he was met by Doctor David Manguy, the man who'd brought him into the world. Manguy took Damien to a secret cryogenic crypt in the basement of his laboratory and showed him the twisted remains of two deformed creatures who had been cobbled together by the insane genius Anton Arcane as part of yet another experiment in the pursuit of immortality. The guards in Manguy's lab called these monsters the Un-Men. Dr. Manguy told Damien to call them Mom and Dad. Manguy told Damien the horrifying truth: Biology is destiny. Damien's genetic structure had remained stable for a long time, but now his body felt it was time for a change. Now Damien embarks on a journey beyond the borders of the human condition and into the Wasteland where freaks are family, and where the Un-Men live out an uncertain existence.

If mayhem could be refined, its architect would be Sebastian O. He can outwit any rival, outfight any foe and outdress any other wilting, poetical fop who has a talent for tasteful and decorous two-fisted action. Set in an alternate London of the 1890s where computer technology has been perfected and virtual reality is the plaything of Decadents and dandies, SEBASTIAN O is not only a 3-issue, action-packed romp through mean streets where bon mots fly like teflon-coated bullets, but also a wry commentary on a perverse, self-deceiving society brought to you by Grant Morrison and Steve Yeowell. The hero of the piece is Sebastian O, a quick-talking Oscar Wildean dandy and an expert escapologist, who has somehow learned a secret that threatens the existence of a very important, very exclusive Club - enough that they have him incarcerated in Bedlam asylum. If only he could remember what the secret is. In hot pursuit of the cads that locked him away, Sebastian tussles with assassins and rogues, none of whom could ever triumph because none are as exquisitely dressed as he. Cover by Yeowell.

THE TARANTULA ACT I - In the span of years when Morpheus of the Dreaming was held captive by a human sorcerer, the universe knew someone was missing and tried to replace him. In the late 1930s, haunted by dark dreams, Wesley Dodds, a quiet, studious man, the heir to a fabulous fortune, took to wearing a gasmask and going out at night to battle bizarre criminals with names like the Tarantula, the Mist and the Phantom of the World's Fair. Dodds put his foes to sleep with gas and sprinkled sand on them. Somewhere along the line, they took to calling him the Sandman. The curtain goes up on SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE!
Matt Wagner is the regular writer, with rotating artists on each story arc. The first storyline is drawn by Guy Davis. Together, Wagner and Davis team up to create baroque new tales of a mysterious night avenger, combining the relentless plotting of a hardboiled detective novel and the subtle psychological ambiguities of classic film noir. In the premiere issue, Dodds follows the trail of the Tarantula, a mysterious kidnapper who wants the last dance on every young woman's card. Painted photo cover by Gavin Wilson.
