Hank Howard, Pizza Detective: The Inside Job

May 26, 2026 by Chris Zepeda Leave a Comment

New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditt (SUPERMAN ‘78) and world-renowned comics legend David Lapham (STRAY BULLETS) join forces to deliver a must-read new entry in their striking new vision in the fight against crime.

Something’s rotten at Big Caligula’s Pizza, location #212 — and it’s not just last week’s mozzarella. Cash tips have fallen off a cliff, and the question on everyone’s lips is, why? Has service really gone downhill, or is there something, or someone, more sinister to blame?

Corporate smells trouble, and they’ve called in their best man for the job. Enter, Hank Howard. Armed with a mind as sharp as a tack, nerves of steel, and an ironclad stomach, Hank’s about to dive into a mystery hotter than a fresh-baked pie and his only lead won’t talk. Literally. It’s the location’s mascot, Biggie. The employees who don the oversized Roman Emperor garb are forbidden from talking in front of customers. Ruins the illusion for the kids.

Thankfully, Hank’s not flying solo. Location #212 just happens to be the stomping grounds of Hank’s old buddy, the pizza crust loving dog, Cali. Together, they’ll sniff out clues, chomp down leads, and uncover secrets that could rock the pizza world to its core.

Warbird

May 25, 2026 by Chris Zepeda Leave a Comment

Blockbuster screenwriter Derek Kolstad, creator and writer of the internationally acclaimed, box office dominating motion picture franchise JOHN WICK, New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (SUPERMAN ‘78), and master illustrator Alex Maleev, the Eisner Award-winning artist behind seminal runs on Daredevil, Moon Knight and more, have combined powers to bring you a white-knuckle, globe-spanning action/spy thrill ride.

Cole is a repo man of the highest caliber, repossessing heavily guarded mega yachts from billionaires, private planes from captains of industry, and everything in-between. If it’s got an engine, he can drive it, ride it, or fly it straight out from under the nose of an army of guards.

Now he’s handed the job of a lifetime. The impossible job. One that will bring him face to face with the highest stakes.

The Russians have stolen aeronautical military secrets from China, France, Germany, The UK, and the US to “Frankenstein” together the ultimate bleeding edge, next-gen fighter jet: The Warbird. There are only three of them in existence. They are a force of absolute nature—$1.4 billion apiece—dominating every global hotspot from Syria to Ukraine. And Cole’s been hired to steal one… and destroy the other two.

His fee? 10%. A cool $140 million. But this isn’t a repossession job. This is outright theft. And failure doesn’t mean jail time and fines—it means a bullet to the back of the head.
