The May 2019 run of comics is about to start tomorrow and the folks at Dynamite Entertainment have laid out their plans for the first release week. It’s a very good release week as we get more Elvira: Mistress of the Dark and a new installment of the gorgeous Barbarella/Dejah Thoris crossover. Add more Six Million Dollar Man along with Obey Me and Battlestar Galactica? That works really well. But cap it off with some gorgeous variants for Red Sonja? Oh my!
