Together with a mysterious dancer named Zabibi, he learns the city's rulers turn a blind eye to the nightly hunts so long as those who live there aren't on the menu. But when Conan agrees to help Zabibi kill a depraved priest who cursed her lover, he'll find himself caught in a web of illusion and betrayal within the temple walls of the ape-god Hanuman! Reprinting the adaptation of the original Robert E. Howard story from Savage Sword of Conan #14, presented here for the first time in stunning color! Amazon affiliate link FANTASTIC FOUR (Vol. 8) #8 Writer: Ryan North Artist: Humberto Ramos Publisher: Marvel Comics Cover Price: $3.99 Release Date: February 18, 2026 It's back before everything changed, and I'm still in grad school — just a kid, really. My name is Susan Storm, and I've just become the Invisible Girl. Our first encounter was with the Mole Man — he was the first time we found it necessary to use our powers, to truly become the Fantastic Four. Reed prayed it would be the last. But his prayers weren't the kind that got answered. What happened next wasn't what I thought would happen — it wasn't what any of us thought would happen. I want you to know that I tried. I really did. I didn't mean for things to end up the way they turned out. But there are some mistakes you can't take back. And there are some wounds that don't kill you, even though they should... Amazon affiliate link Florida Hippopotamus Cocaine Massacre #1 Writer: Fred Kennedy Artist: James Edward Clark Publisher: Mad Cave Studios Cover Price: $4.99 Release Date: February 18, 2026 A no-nonsense federal agent and a lone-wolf cop chase down a brutal drug lord in a flooded amusement park swarming with blood-crazed hippos and cut-throat mercenaries. Disco Hippo Wonderland is the number one amusement park in Flamingo City. But few realize its corpulent owner, Jans M'jor Discau, is about to release the most potent drug ever created: Coke45! Fortunately for humanity, Agent Clarke Nebraska is on the case! She'll bring down Discau come heck or high water! That was the plan, until her undercover agent, Tico Senecoza, was captured! And before she can rescue him, Miquel—Tico's sexy loose cannon of an older brother beats her to the punch, storming into the park with bullets flying. Discau panics, dumping the Coke45 into the hippo enclosure and letting them loose on the park, before fleeing into Wonderland's tunnel network! Nebraska's plans are totally off the rails, and things get worse when a marijuana smoke fueled hurricane drowns the park in torrential rain! Now it's up to Nebraska and Miquel to create an uncomfortable truce to bring Discau down before he escapes! Become a Patron USAGI YOJIMBO: TENGU WAR!
