Some things you just can’t get over.
When Trish Sullivan left her hometown for college, she left behind unfinished business. Now she’s back and looking to settle up.
Trish blames Harvey Harlowe for the death of her little brother, so Trish’s homecoming is an eye-for-an-eye mission. She’s going to kill him, and Harvey should get his affairs in order.
But Harvey’s dad has just died, and an injury destroyed his football scholarship. Without a future ahead of him, Trish’s challenge is all the more welcome. He’s more than ready to go down fighting, and no one is going to step in and save him.

May 07, 2026Showdown is the type of story that takes the typical revenge trope and turns it on its head, blending familiar western-style face-off and turning it into something raw, current, and emotional. Dave Wielgosz delivers on some deeply flawed and frustrated characters you can’t root for but also kind of understand their motivations. Tadd Galusha’s outstanding artwork brings this story to a new level with unique style and illustrations. Showdown is a raw and unforgettable revenge tale with some of the best artwork of the year.

May 12, 2026Showdown #1 hooks you with a brutal premise, then takes its time letting the characters breathe. The lack of big twists might catch some readers off guard, but the grounded approach pays off through strong dialogue and believable emotional weight. Trish and Harvey feel real, damaged in different ways, and the slow build toward their inevitable clash keeps the tension simmering. The motivations are not fully convincing yet, especially on Trish’s side, but the writing and art carry enough intrigue to make the next issue feel like a must-read. Read Full Review
