Eternal horror fan favorite, the one and only Reggie Bannister of PHANTASM fame comes crashing into American Mythology Comics with a chip on his shoulder and a bag full of one-liners, delivered as only the immortal blue-colored bad ass can in the company’s new original horror comic-- CATCHING HELL! Reggie ain’t no superhero, he’s just a guy dealt a bad hand by fate, and instead of folding, he comes out swinging. Armed with grit, scars, and a lifetime of bad decisions, Reggie works as a Hell-Tracer, hunting down renegade demons that have slipped through society’s cracks. It’s loud. It’s brutal, and funny in a way only true horror fans will understand. Mixing the best of grindhouse and midnight movies, you won’t find any monsters who sparkle here. Best of all, a portion of the proceeds of the book will go directly to supporting Reggie’s current health care costs, so you’re not only getting a kick ass story, but you’re giving back to a horror industry icon. Go to Hell -- just don’t get caught!

Back in 1957, Ed Wood brought us a movie about aliens who tried to raise the dead in order to destroy humanity in order to prevent us from causing a galaxy destroying weapon that they believed we would one day create. This was Plan 9 from Outer Space. Obviously, plans 1 through 8 failed, and (spoiler alert, but frankly the movie has been out for 63 years now, so there shouldn’t be much to spoil) so did Plan 9. But what happened in the years since 1957? Did the aliens just give up? Were they going to cease their plans to stop us and save the galaxy? Of course not. Almost 60 years have passed, and in that time, they have attempted to destroy us nearly 50 more times, and humanity has become quite adept at fighting them off. But today, they are coming back for their 59th plan, a plan that is so nefarious, it just might work. Written by Michael Dolce and James Mascia, illustrated by Joaquin Gonzalez, and colored by Daniele Caramanico.
