AHOY COMICS, the comic company responsible for such titles as THE WRONG EARTH, the sci-fi spoof CAPTAIN GINGER, and HASHTAG: DANGER is back with Wave 5, scheduled to hit stands this fall and winter.
The Syracuse-based independent publisher that pledged for readers to expect more from its line of comic book magazines and graphic novels, with the return of some old favorites and some that are new. The jam-packed line-up builds on AHOYs tendency to tackle serious topics with their signature off-kilter humor.
In a press release from the publisher, editor-in-chief Tom Peyer promised:
Police brutality! Science denial! The unshakeable feeling that weve slipped into a parallel world where up is down, right is wrong, and Dragonflyman is Dragonfly! These are the big, heady topics preoccupying people across the globe right nowso, of course, we felt it our duty to try to make a buck off them. If billionaires can get richer while civilization collapses, so can we!
AHOY Comics Publisher Hart Seely added to the editor-in-chiefs comments saying.
All we wanted was to be funny, but we keep accidentally speaking to the deeper issues plaguing society. Should we be less funny? Or should society be less full of plagues? You decide.

Stuart Moore, who is in charge of Ops at the publisher, said,
At AHOY, weve either been lucky or smart lately, but both BILLIONAIRE ISLAND and ASH & THORN hit at just the right time. HAPPY HOUR and PENULTIMAN are just as well suited to this moment in time. Who cant relate to being locked up in a place where you have to pretend to be happy all the time? Or feeling like youre a secret fraud, even when you have super-evolved mental powers? As a reminder, PENULTIMAN #0, the very first installment in the PENULTIMAN saga from STEEL CAGE, is still available for free from Comixology.
