For this week’s installment of Preview Mondays, we’re giving you exclusive first looks at ANIMAL MAN ANNUAL #1 and AMERICAN VAMPIRE #27.

In a small Canadian town, a man named Jacob Mullin must leave his family behind as he ventures deep into the forest to confront The Rot, which has begun to ravage his community. But will he be able to put a stop to The Rot before it destroys his town and takes his family with it? A stand-alone story, ANIMAL MAN ANNUAL #1 is written by Jeff Lemire, illustrated by Timothy Green II and Joseph Silver, and ties directly into this summer’s ANIMAL MAN/SWAMP THING crossover event, “Rotworld.” Click here to see an exclusive preview of the issue.

It’s the conclusion to “The Nocturnes” story arc! What has been festering in the town of Midway, Alabama and will Calvin Poole, a haunted man with secrets of his own, uncover it before it’s too late? AMERICAN VAMPIRE #27 is written by Scott Snyder and features art by Riccardo Burchielli. Click here to see an exclusive preview of the issue.
