The rigors and depredations of the Desolation test have left Michael Jones, a former MI6 agent, unable to feel… well… anything. His body is frail, but his mental and psychological scarring make him the perfect man for some of the most depraved jobs that need doing. So what if an ailing, elderly collector tells you that someone has stolen his prized possession: a collection of pornographic films created by Adolf Hitler himself?

This week, the TSP crew takes on the first trade of Warren Ellis’s Desolation Jones series, Made In England.

After the brutal murder of their father the Locke children, Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode, move back to their family’s estate: an eerie old mansion in Lovecraft, Massachusetts aptly named Keyhouse. While the kids, joined by their mother and uncle, try to adjust to life without their father in new surroundings, strange things begin to occur, and the ghosts of the past begin to seep back into their lives.

Is Lovecraft, Massachusetts live up to its name? Join the TSP crew as they delve into the first trade of Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez’s cthulian masterpiece, Locke & Key.

Tony Chu’s life is strange, to say the least. You see, Tony’s a cibopath, a psychic who can glean the entire history of anything he eats. After discovering a serial killer working in a chicken-speakeasy (we’ll get to that) after the cook bleeds in his soup, his life spirals in a crazy new direction where he begins investigating violent crimes by taking bites of the victims.

Chew is a hodgepodge of crazy ideas – a foodbourne illness that results in chicken being outlawed; a violent crimes investigative unit run by the FDA; a detective who eats parts of his crime scenes – but do all of the ingredients mix into a digestible whole? Join the TSP crew as they delve into the first trade paperback of the critically acclaimed Image series: Chew – Taster’s Choice.
