New Releases by Erik Burnham

Ahh, summer vacation. Cedric’s ready for sunny beaches, cool drinks, and NOT being at school! Nothing could go wrong…short of a Xilien invasion! Between alien attacks, maybe-evil robots, and the return of the scariest monster Cedric’s ever had to face, it’s going to take him, his friends, and all Earth’s protectors to fight back! If only they could find Godzilla… An extra-length one-shot completing the Godzilla: Monsters & Protectors story started in the critically acclaimed Rise Up and All Hail the King! series. Reuniting Erik Burnham, Dan Schoening, and Luis Antonio Delgado in the perfect Godzilla adventure for middle graders!

The Rat King has gained the ability to control the Ninja Turtles! He’s ordered Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo to go on a crime spree to benefit the rodents of the city while forcing Donatello to search for a way to return the Rat King’s original powers. Things look grim for our heroes, but this is the second part of a two-part story so you know they’re going to reverse the Rat King’s control and put things right! The nostalgia-fueled Saturday morning–inspired adventures of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles continue in “The Turtle King, Part Two”! Now an all-new ongoing series because you asked for it!

Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines, Raphael is cool but rude, Michelangelo is a party dude! The animated Turtles of the original cartoon are back! The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles first appeared in 1984, but it wasn’t until 1987 that a catchy theme song and action-packed cartoon helped make them a global phenomenon! Now discover four “lost episodes” that follow in the radical two-toed footsteps of the classic series. First, an unexpected power surge leaves the brothers trapped in a virtual training program, facing digital versions of their most fearsome foes, in “VR in Deep Trouble”! Next, a mysterious piece of tech transforms one of Krang’s stone soldiers into a power ballad–belting rockstar, but how long will the change last? It’s a hair metal adventure “For Those About to Rock”! Then Casey Jones gets superpowers, and he can’t wait to up his crime-fighting game. But when Raph and the others learn his powers come at a cost, can they convince “Super Casey” to give them up? And finally, when Baxter Stockman injects Splinter with microscopic mousers, Donny will have to shrink himself down to save his sensei, in “Big Trouble in Master Splinter”! Writer Erik Burnham (Ghostbusters, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero—Saturday Morning Adventures) authentically captures ’80s pop culture so that it holds true for longtime fans while immediately appealing to today’s younger audience, and artist Tim Lattie nails the cartoon’s signature look. Grab a slice and settle in with the world’s most fearsome fighting team, the heroes in a half shell! Turtle power!

In 1987, the world at large was introduced to the TMNT by way of a catchy theme song and an action-packed cartoon, shell-shocking the world into an era of Turtlemania! Since then, the characters have appeared in countless comics, a multitude of animated series, and several motion pictures. Turn the nostalg-o-meter up to 11 this FCBD and revisit two fan-favorite eras of TMNT animation in comic book form with this special presentation of stories from IDW''s smash-hit Saturday Morning Adventures and the recent small-screen venture Rise of the TMNT!

It’s King Caesar and Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah for the fate of the world! Both humanity and the would-be conquerors, the Xiliens, are watching the battle with great interest. But even if Godzilla and King Caesar beat King Ghidorah, can they resist the urge to throw down with each other? Of course they can’t! The citizens of Tokyo still better hope their fight is a short one! All Hail the King ends here!

During an excursion above the sewers, Splinter is injected with a miniaturized device designed by Baxter Stockman. As his sensei grows weaker, Donatello investigates and discovers Splinter is being attacked from the inside by microscopic mousers! Initial attempts to combat this infection fail, so Donatello makes the only rational decision: to shrink himself and the other Turtles down and fight the micro-mousers head on! Can the Turtles save Splinter? Or will they all fall to the tiny invaders? Find out in the fourth exhilarating episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures, “Big Trouble in Master Splinter”!

LADY HEL IS BACK ON HER THRONE — AND NOW, HER ENEMIES ARE GOING TO PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE! Lady Hel is back in Helheim at last, and facing off with those who tried to steal everything from her: her power, her throne, and her place in the universe. It’s a good thing for them that Hel doesn’t hold a grudge, right? Wait, who are we kidding — of course she holds a grudge, and Lady Hel is going to take out her rage on those who made the mistake of crossing her! It’s the epic finale to Lady Hel’s first solo miniseries!

The Xiliens, looking for a countermeasure against Godzilla, have managed to find the resting place of another monster: the three-headed dragon King Ghidorah. Using their advanced technology, they awaken the great beast and set it on a worldwide rampage that eventually gets the attention of the King of the Monsters. Godzilla and King Ghidorah clash, as monsters do, and the results of that fight may not be good for anyone—human or Xilien!

After her confrontation with Lady Demon, Hel has a clearer picture of how she lost control of the underworld, and realizes the only way to regain her power is to return to her realm in secrecy by using one of the hidden paths that ancient mortals once used to find their way to the other side. The only problem is that there are more obstacles on the road to the underworld than there used to be, and they''re all deadly. Can Hel make it back to the underworld in one piece, or might the personification of death actually be destroyed in the attempt?

When an archaeological dig unveils an important element from the world of the Army of Darkness, it ends up in the absolute worst hands of all… Dr. Herbert West. As West tinkers in God’s domain, our reluctant hero is once more drawn within the sphere of destiny as he faces a triple threat of danger! This issue: West PLUS West PLUS Ash PLUS Ash!?!? Where is it all going? Nowhere good if the Necronomicon has its way. And you can just bet there’s a vortex waiting to open up and send our hero and his nemesis somewhere strange and weird when it’s all over! Writer Erik Burnham is joined by returning Dynamite artist Eman Casallos to bring you all of the excitement and deadite action! Joining Dynamite superstar cover artists Arthur “Zombie King” Suydam and Stuart (KISS) Sayger is Tony (Stray Dogs) Fleecs and the Dynamite debut of Christopher (Hellboy) Mitten!

Rise Up, Part 5! The time has come to see if the world is worthy of saving! Can our heroes—with a little help from the Shobijin—show Godzilla that mankind is capable of hope? Or will the Priestesses’ frightening vision of the future come to pass?

Chastity Jack has been kidnapped, to the great misfortune of her kidnappers. She, along with a dozen other young women, arrive at an audition for a prestigious New York City burlesque act hoping to land a coveted spot in the popular show. When they wake up in chains on a spooky cruise ship in the middle of nowhere, they''re congratulated on joining the cast. Realizing they''ve been drugged and kidnapped by human traffickers, Chastity Jack declines the offer. Grindhouse-style.

While the Shobijin seek out proof that mankind is worth saving, the Linival Corporation, upset that their plans to help mankind with a new energy source have been interrupted by Godzilla, have come up with a plan to fight back against the King of the Monsters... and that plan is a kaiju of their own: BIOLLANTE. The titans will tussle here in the third chapter, and no matter which monster wins, it could spell trouble!

Godzilla roars back into comics! “Rise Up!” Part 2: The world knows that the King of the Monsters has been riled up by the Linival energy plants, whose output sent Godzilla on a pan-Pacific destructive spree the likes of which the world has never seen—but the danger is greater than anyone knows.

The Shobijin become aware of this and know they could ask Mothra to intervene... but does humanity deserve Mothra''s help?

Sharks. Ogres. Witches. Gods. Vicious Beasts. Treasures. Swordplay. Thieves. And a Musician. This Red Sonja Volume truly has it all!

In the Great Desert of the east stands an abandoned temple of dark magic... the one place where Sonja and Chastity can set things right without the loss of innocent life. But by the time they get there the sun has set, and the creatures of the night have come out to play. Jade and her thralls and a newly powered Purgatori arrive, and before this night is done, the amulet’s power will at last be claimed. Join us for the penultimate chapter of the Age of Chaos!

In anticipation of the new Ghostbusters feature film coming to theaters Summer 2020, we look back at the Boys in Grey''s first year on the job, showcasing never-before-seen adventures! After defeating Gozer and becoming heroes in the city, county, and state of New York, a publisher has decided to cash in with a biography of the boys in grey and sends a writer to interview them all for background. Starting with Winston, who relates the story of his very first bust, so we can finally know what kind of... ahem, stuff he''s seen that''ll turn you white!

With the fate of all things hanging in the balance, the evil necromancer Kulan Gath must be resurrected -- but can it be done without sacrificing another human being? Sonja and Chastity consult another sorcerer to find a way, but with Evil Ernie, Purgatori, and Jade all chasing after Sonja and the source of Gath''s power, there''s little time to set things right. The Age of Chaos continues!

Red Sonja, paired with the half-vampire Chastity, is on the path to setting things right, restoring the timeline and hopefully saving humanity in the process. But Chastity isn''t the only strange visitor from another time; Jade, Evil Ernie, and Purgatori have all come to Hyboria as well, and they''ve taken a shine to the savage world as an easy place to indulge their dangerous natures. They may not take so well to the notion of going home. (Plus, Ernie gets to ride a dragon, which is almost impossible where he comes from.) The She-Devil''s adventure in the Age of Chaos continues here!

Chastity is up to her elbows in blood—some of it is even her own!—and she’s out of allies and out of options. Forget saving the group of human trafficking victims she’s given her all to protect—she’s going to have a hard-enough time getting off an uncharted (for nefarious reasons) island she’s stranded on. Is this it for Chastity Jack?

Red Sonja is fully made to understand that her victory over Kulan Gath not only led to the invasion of her world by a whole new kind of evil. but may cause time itself to end... much to the delight of the goddess of death, Mistress Hel. Only Sonja can set things right -- but what she needs to do so will cost her a bargain with Lady Demon, as well as a personal quest her ego doesn''t want to accept. Thankfully she has backup in the form of the half-vampire, Chastity -- and a good thing, too. To fix the path of fate, Sonja will need all the help she can get! The AGE OF CHAOS continues here!

Turtles... in space! Krang is set to go on trial in Dimension X, but he has hired the cybernetic assassin Hakk-R to eliminate the witnesses set to testify against him. Meanwhile, the Turtles race to different planets in Dimension X to escort the witnesses to safety before Hakk-R gets to them first! Then, an enemy from Master Splinter''s past is back and hungry for revenge. To get it, he''ll summon the most dangerous foe that the Turtles have ever encountered—the Collectors, shape-shifting demons that can pass through dimensions at will and cannot be stopped once they have been summoned to harvest a soul. To save themselves, the Turtles team up with the Ghostbusters, the only people who have ever faced the Collectors and lived to tell the tale.

The Mutanimals are the first targets, but the Turtles’ turn will come soon enough, and they’ll be hounded like never before. Alopex and Nobody are looking for a little rest and relaxation but get more than they ask for when they become the unwilling guests of a never-ending party thrown by the hedonistic Toad Baron!
