Catbug Goes Missing In ‘Bravest Warriors’ #6 Backup [Preview] By Caleb Goellner Anyone who has ever lost a pet — even for a moment — knows it’s a worrisome affair. For the extra-emotional Bravest Warriorsteam, being separated from their companion Catbug is similarly gut-wrenching. Artist Ryan Pequin and Mirka Andolfo’s “Catbug is Missing” backup inBravest Warriors #6, out on March 13, sees just what happens when Wallow and the crew confront every animal lover’s nightmare. Pequin and Andolfo’s story joins the main tale by Joey Comeau and artist Mike Holmes, which has less to do with pets, and a lot to do with beauty pageants, just in case the thought of missing a half cat/half ladybug is too worrying for you on its own.

Peter Bagge Depicts an Adorably Sick Romance in Latest ‘Creepy Family’ Strip By Andy Khouri In the classic horror anthology originally published by Jim Warren and edited by Archie Goodwin, Creepy’s tales of terror were always introduced by the grotesque Uncle Creepy, a kind of ghoulish master of ceremonies who became a beloved character in his own right. One of the changes that came with Dark Horse Comics’ revival of Creepy was the expansion of the so-called Creepy Family to include sisters, brothers, cousins, little children and ancient, decrepit grandparents. Their macabre antics have been depicted in one-page strips created by Creepy editor Dan Braun and the great Peter Bagge (Hate, Reset).Dark Horse’s Creepy Comics #11 will go on sale just in time for Valentine’s Day, and you can expect some appropriately inappropriate love stories for the occasion. One of them is a new “Creepy Family” strip by Braun and Bagge in which Grandma Morgana and Grandpa Pierpont express their affection for one another in the style to which Creepy readers have become accustomed. It’s really cute if you like horrible things. Creepy Comics #11 goes on sale February 13 in finer comics shops and digitally from Dark Horse Digital, where you can also catch up on issues #1-10. Dark Horse has also published hardcover volumes of the original Creepy anthology that you can learn more about right here.

First Look: Sif’s Story Goes ‘Even Further Down the Road To Crazytown’ in ‘Journey Into Mystery’ #648 By Joseph Hughes Taking the reigns from Kieron Gillen after his departure was certainly going to be a challenge. Starting in April 2011 Gillen spent over a year on Journey into Mystery, until his highly regarded run on the series came to an end this fall. Kathryn Immonen took over as writer starting with issue #646 and, perhaps to the surprise of no one who has followed her career up to this point, she and new series artist Valerio Schiti haven’t missed a beat. Changing the focus from Kid Loki to Lady Sif, Immonen’s first two issues on the series have been well received, as she’s shown fans Sif is far more than just an occasional sidekick/love interest for The God of Thunder. Marvel has provided ComicsAlliance with a preview for January’s Journey into Mystery #648, andwe reached out to series editor Lauren Sankovitch, who says this upcoming issue takes Sif’s story “even further down the road to crazytown.” Check out the full preview on ComicsAlliance!
