Comixology is returning to Comic-Con International San Diego in 2022. Headlining Comixology’s presence at the show will be Scottober: West Coast Edition, which follows the success of last October’s Scottober festivities at New York Comic Con. Timed to the convention, July 19th will see the simultaneous debut of the next batch of Comixology Originals creator-owned titles penned by #1 New York Times bestselling writer Scott Snyder and co-created by some of the top artists in the industry, all edited by veteran comics editor Will Dennis.
“These three series are some of the most ambitious comics I’ve ever been a part of creating,” says Scott Snyder. “They run the gamut from romance, to western, to all ages adventure, and each one is a singular passion project, developed from the ground up with an incredible partner. Tula, Dan and Jamal are co-creators in the truest sense, and I couldn't be prouder - or feel luckier - to be teamed up on these. Don't miss them!"
The all-new titles debuting July 19th are:

But Hawk has a secret, and when an impromptu wedding crash turns into an early getaway with Tillie, the would-be-bride, unexpected new bonds form in this thrilling tale of love...and murder.
