The popular fantasy-themed Webcomic Looking for Group, which launched in 2006, skewers the world of gamers and fantasy geek with great glee. The ongoing Dynamite comic book series will be written by Ryan Sohmer, co-creator of the Webcomic, and illustrated by Lar deSouza, Hawk, Ryan Dunleavey, and Ed Ryzowski.  The Look for Group comics will feature bonus stories from the Non-Playable Character and Tiny Dick Adventures spin-off series as well.  Veteran artist Ty Templeton will provide the appropriately high-spirited cover art work along with Becky Dreisdadt.

Bad Karma is a Kickstarter-funded 200-page hardcover anthology featuring original comic book and prose stories as well as pin-ups.  The collection highlights four creator-owned concepts: Hellbent by Seth Peck and Tigh Walker; Old Dog, by B. Clay Moore & Christopher Mitten; Middleton, by Alex Grecian and Phil Hester; and Chaos Agent, by Jeremy Haun and Mike Tisserand.  The four aforementioned writers also collaborate on The Ninth Life of Solomon Gunn, with Jeremy Haun performing double-duty on art chores.

Written by Cullen Bunn (The Sixth Gun), Masks 2 is an epic pulp crossover that brings together a diverse group of heroes including The Shadow, Black Terror, Lady Satan, Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt, Green Hornet, and Zorro along with a new villain known as the Red Death.  Eman Casallos will provide the interior art for Masks 2.  Cover artists for the series include Butch Guice, Jae Lee, Gabriel Hardman, Colton Worley, Sean Chen, and Robert Hack. (See Gallery below to check out the covers).

Also slated to commence in April is Uncanny: Season 2, the continuation of the clever crime story about a thief with some very special abilities.  Written by Andy Diggle, Uncanny: Season 2 features interior art by Aaron Campbell and covers by some Diggle’s creative partners on The Losers, Jock and Ben Oliver.
