We don’t wanna give away a single thing, so make sure and get your hands on your digital copy today! Hit the logo below to be zapped straight over to the issue’s post as if by some sort of… Magic. That’s very good. I’m very funny.
THE VANISH/SPAWN CROSSOVER WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!
ONE OF OUR CRAZIEST ANNOUNCEMENTS EVER!
Now, you may be saying to yourself, “SUPPLE BOIZ, the image above is a crossover cover between Spawn and The Walking Dead”. Allow us to explain.
For the company’s 30th Anniversary, Image Comics has announced a huge Spawn Cover Takeover! During the month of December, Spawn will appear on nearly 50 Image series covers… Including that of our very own VANISH!
That’s right… Although the image hasn’t been revealed just yet, VANISH #4 will have a mind-blowing Spawn-Crossover cover drawn by the infamous RYAN STEGMAN!
While you’re waiting to get your eyes on it, check out Image’s press release HERE to see all the covers that have been revealed so far! We’ll have all the updates for you very, very soon!
A VAST ARRAY OF INSANE VARIANTS FOR VANISH #4 ARE AVAILABLE NOW!
SPEAKING OF VANISH #4…
Already read VANISH #3? Not content to sit around and wait for this fabled “Spawn-Crossover Variant”? Well we’re absolutely thrilled to inform you that the coolest spectrum of editions you’ve ever seen are available to pre-order RIGHT NOW for the upcoming VANISH #4!
You can be among the first to get your hands on this monumental issue, including the ridiculously cool AKIRA-Homage Variant by the one and only Steve McNiven, pictured above!

ANOTHER STEGMAN MASTERCLASS… ON RENDERING YOUR WORLD!
Here’s better news than you’re getting in any of those other newsletters this week: We host a weekly art instructional series here on KLC Press where you can submit your questions on social media using the hashtag #STEGMANSPEAKS and have those questions answered on the show by the man himself! See? I bet Chip’s newsletter doesn’t have that.
This week, Stegman’s sage guidance involved rendering landscapes and establishing shots, a crucial skill for any comic book artist!

MISSING STEGMAN ON VENOM? YOU’RE IN LUCK!
Now, we all know that Ram V, Al Ewing, and Bryan Hitch are doing an amazing job carrying on VENOM after DONNY and RYAN’s departure.
However! Here at KLC Press, we do often hear folks saying that, at times, they get to missing the Steg-Man’s pencils on the King in Black. Understandable, as Ryan is known to have done a pretty good job on the series.
Well this week, those folks got a little treat to ease the pain, as a brand-new STEGMAN Variant was announced for Issue #14 of the current series! With colors by the wonderful Dave McCaig! Check the beauty out below!

Hey guys, I was an annual subscriber for year one, but have not received any of the books I was promised. I just wanted to check in and see if there was something else I needed to do. Please advise.
This is probably a shitty idea but I would love to see a one-shot (or limited series) story told from 2 different points of view. Not 2 viewpoints in one comic, but 2 comics with differing viewpoints telling one story.
Get Donny and Ryan to tell the story from an antagonist's side, then have DWJ tell it from the protagonist's side (or vice versa).
