May 30 was a "Fifth Wednesday," giving comics readers an extra week in May to pick up new comics. They — and comics retailers — responded by snapping up the debut of the new Shadowline miniseries GRIM LEAPER by Kurtis J. Wiebe (PETER PANZERFAUST, DEBRIS) and Aluisio Santos.
The second printing of GRIM LEAPER #1 (APR128252), which has already received a number of very favorable reviews, will be in stores on June 27, the same day as GRIM LEAPER #2.
Who gets to live? Who has to die? In the underworld of illegal organ harvesting depicted in the new Shadowline miniseries HARVEST, money used to answer that question, but Dr. Ben Dane is determined to change that. But as writer A.J. Lieberman and artist Colin Lorimer will show in the August 1 release of HARVEST's first of five issues, Dr. Ben's motives aren't entirely pure.
This week brings us the end of one mini-series, the beginning of another, and the continuation of a third. It's yet another big week for Shadowline and our fans!

GRIM LEAPER, new series from PETER PANZERFAUST creator in May
At the beginning of the new Shadowline Comics series GRIM LEAPER, Lou Collins has died thirteen times, and he can be sure that grisly death #14 is just around the corner. This may seem like a weird way to find romance, but that's just what Kurtis J. Wiebe (PETER PANZERFAUST, GREEN WAKE) has in store for Lou in his new series debuting in May, drawn by Aluisio Santos.
