	The steampunk pulp hero Rocketeer will return this April for a new series at IDW Publishing, as part of a broader celebration of the character's 40th anniversary. The Rocketeer: The Great Race is a four-issue series by writer/artist Stephen Mooney which will see our intrepid stunt pilot Cliff Secord take part in an air race that runs from California to France - that's right, from the US west coast to European west coast. This all happens as the drum beats for war are heightening in Europe, as the Rocketeer is a period piece set in just before the second World War. And yes, Betty (the character based on real-life pin-up model Bettie Page) will be appearing in this series. "Stephen Mooney has a love and affinity for the Rocketeer, and the time period the iconic character inhabits… all of which is abundantly evident in the story he has crafted," says series editor Scott Dunbier in the announcement. "It's a fun-filled romp, one I think Dave Stevens would enjoy!" Like Stevens, Mooney is both writing and drawing this Rocketeer story, and follows work on his own WW2-era series, Half Past Danger. "Writing and drawing a Rocketeer book has long been somewhat of a bucket-list item for me. I grew up on Dave Stevens' unique blend of swashbuckling derring-do and pulpy adventure with Cliff, Betty, and Peevy, and those seminal issues still stand today as one of my favorite series of all time," says Mooney. "It's incredibly daunting and yet also fantastically thrilling and a real challenge. Let's take to the skies!" Each issue of The Rocketeer: The Great Race will also include an oral history of the character, with contributions from Stevens' friends, family, and fellow artists - as organized by Kelvin Mao, who is working on a documentary of the writer/artist. Locke & Key's Gabriel Rodriguez has drawn the main cover for The Rocketeer: The Great Race #1, with a variant by Mooney. The Rocketeer: The Great Race #1 goes on sale in April, as part of a broader 'Rocketeer Month' planned by IDW to celebrate the character's 40th anniversary. As part of the celebration, IDW will be reprinting the long-sold-out Dave Stevens' The Rocketeer Artist's Edition.

	After earning two prestigious Eisner nominations and being declared the “best indie comics success story” by Screen Rant, superstar creator Patrick Horvath’s delightfully twisted tale about an anthropomorphic serial killer bear is returning to comic shops for a new story that is guaranteed to shock readers. BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES: RITE OF SPRING #1 Cover A art by Patrick Horvath Undoubtedly one of the most anticipated comics of 2025, BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES: RITE OF SPRING #1 (of 6) takes place almost a decade after the stunning and blood-spattered events of the first hit series. Return to the seemingly idealistic suburban town of Woodbrook as Samantha, the bloodlusting brown bear, got away with her crimes and is now the town’s one and only serial killer. But times have changed, and Samantha will soon discover there are no secrets in the age of the internet… and those who lost loved ones to her dark temptations are still searching for justice. Plus, Samantha’s sinister origin story is revealed as the sequel revisits what happened after her very first kill. “I’m supremely excited to return to the quaint town of Woodbrook to continue the story of our psychopath bear, Samantha Strong,” remarked Horvath. “I continue to be blown away by the response to the first book. In my wildest dreams I never thought it would have caught such a huge wave that spread out to other countries and languages. BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES continues to be a huge gift to me, and I’m grateful for all of the immense support from IDW, the retailers, critics, and fans.” BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES: RITE OF SPRING #1 Cover B (Movie Homage Variant) art by Tony Fleecs “Patrick Horvath is going to save comics – hell, he’s already on his way,” stated editor Jake Williams. “BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES is the sort of shot in the arm that the industry prays for. A reminder of how good the medium can be. And here’s a secret: we always knew we were doing more. Patrick introduced you to his world in part one – now it’s time to plunge deeper into the darkness, expand out to the edges, and ultimately smash it all up. This one is darker, scarier, gorier, and maybe even a little bit cuter. Thank god for Patrick Horvath, we’re lucky he chose to make comics.” BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES: RITE OF SPRING #1 Cover C (Storybook Variant) art by Riley Rossmo BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES: RITE OF SPRING #1 (of 6) is on sale July 9, 2025 with a pre-order deadline of June 2, 2025.
