Sam Fisher, once a Splinter Cell–a clandestine operative operating in the shadows of the NSA–is now retired. His enemies, however, are not. Haunted by dreams and memories of his past, he struggles to put his life back together. But when a mysterious terrorist organization called KROWE begins pursuing targets around the globe, Sam’s expertise is needed to uncover their endgame and stop them before the deadly plot unfolds. “Echoes” takes place between the events of Splinter Cell Conviction and Splinter Cell Blacklist. The series bridges the gap between the two games with a realistic, original story that sets the tone for the opening events in Splinter Cell Blacklist! From Nathan Edmondson, the acclaimed writer of BLACK WIDOW, THE PUNISHER, and WHO IS JAKE ELLIS and Marc Laming, artist behind EXILE ON THE PLANET OF THE APES, THE RINSE, THE ACTIVITY and Dynamite’s own KINGS WATCH comes a story of the Sam Fisher you only thought you knew.

Continuing Dynamite’s celebration of Vampirella’s 45th anniversary! Upon learning of Vampirella being marked as a vessel for Lady Umbra, Demon-Queen of the Shadows, her contacts in Cestus Dei label her a threat and send an elite hit-squad of monster-killers–the Mallus Maleficarum, aka the Witch-Hammer–lead by the implacable Father Nicodemus, to dispose of her. With her world abruptly turned upside down, Vampirella finds herself unexpectedly allied with the strangest bedfellow imaginable.

She is no longer orphaned teen Jessica Blute, or suburban mom Jen Fellows, or the notorious vigilante known as Jennifer Blood. She is now just another inmate of Las Chacales Women’s Correctional Facility. But in her life she has faced – and defeated – unimaginable horrors and overwhelming odds. She knows she can survive this place. She knows that she MUST survive – because her fight is not yet over. And very quickly, Jennifer learns that someone on the outside is working on a plan… She has no idea what that plan is, or who is behind it. She only knows that she is part of it, and for it to work, she will have to change. But before she can do anything, she has a major problem to overcome… She has been stabbed in the back a dozen times by her fellow prisoners. Right now, Jennifer Blood is bleeding out into the dirt.
