It is with this thinking that we have created this weekly feature to spotlight some just released first issues that are great starting points for new and classic series.

A fresh spin on the classic tropes of space opera introduces two gay heroes from an all LGBTQ+ creative team that promises lots of fun and sweet laser battles.
