Surprised there isn't a thread for all the stuff that came out today so I will make one.
>“Gringod” by contemporary Pop Art painter Ron English
>“Victory of the Dravenites” by Mozchops, a British conceptual painter and illustrator who’ll be responsible for the insect erotica coming up here pretty quick.

How evocative!
>“Botanica No. 23” by Gail Potocki, a Symbolist painter whose work will also be featured in the magazine’s “Gallery” section, curated this issue by musician and art historian Tom Negovan.
>Not everything in Morrison’s first issue is “out with the old, in the with the new.” He’s keeping two ongoing serials, including Julia and Roem by French comics master Enki Bilal. Writes Morrison in his editor’s letter to readers: “Heavy Metal without the legendary Enki Bilal is like Tom without his Jerry, Laurel minus Hardy. Or salsa with no chips, so that’s NEVER going to happen.”
>Also ongoing is The 49th Key by Erika Lewis, J.K. Woodward and Deron Bennetz:
>From “Lepidoteran” by Emilio Balcarce and Gaston Vivanco.
>From “A Mind Bomb” by Danish artist Anna Kornum. Morrison describes the story as “Raymond Briggs-y A-bomb paranoia.”
Out on April 27
>From “The Key” (“a hippy trippy mushroom headmelt,” writes Morrison) by Max Frezzato.
>From “Time Served” by Kyle Charles and Michael Moreci.
>From “Magic Words” by Eric Esquivel.
>Here you go! “Deliriously vivacious insect erotica,” writes Morrison of this story, an excerpt from Mozchops’ 2011 graphic novel Salsa Invertebrexa.
>The usual “Artist Studio” feature presents the work of Mimi Scholz, a Berlin-based artist whose work focuses on Feminism and sexuality.
>Morrison has contributed a story himself, “an old school sci-fi twist-ender” entitled “Beachhead” drawn by Benjamin Marra, whim Morrison describes as a “grand guignol genius.” He might have provided more material, says Krelitz, but “we kept his own content light in his inaugural issue so he could focus on his editorial choices.” Writes Morrison: “Upcoming from me and my art collaborators are tales of randy starship crews in a non-dystopian future, anthropomorphic cat detectives with PTSD caught up in quantum-Satanic nightmares, a cut-up collaboration between David Bowie and William Burroughs, and a whole s— ton more.”
There is potential here.
