The latest volume of the digital anthology Aces Weekly – Volume 52 – is currently up and running, offering up to 150 pages, including extras, pixel-perfect comics, available to subscribers for just £1 a week.
Volume 52 continues the extraordinary time-travel tale, “Golgotha”, from Alberto Rodríguez and Giovanni Castro Nigio, continued from Volume 51, available soon separately as a back issue, plus five other serials from some of the most talented comics creators on the planet.
“Golgotha” is a story that began with Jesus being saved from crucifixion, and the mind bending continues from there, delivering an intricate and beautifully-drawn time-travel story.
But in this volume, you’re also treated to “Bitter Frost” by Chris Geary; “Mr Custa”by Phil Whitmore, Bambos Georgiou and Mychailo Kazybrid; the fantasy adventure “Merlin & Hector”, by Jok and Santullo (previously featured through Volumes 32-38 and 44-51, available as back issues); another continuing tale, “I Kill Dragons” by Deivid and Feli White; and more “Living the Dream” by Fer Calvi, in which three buddies come together again to begin one more bold exploration into a world that only seems like a dream…
Available on subscription, published by David Lloyd, Aces Weekly is yours to access instantly, with 52, 53, and on and on, in seven-week parts, forever, for just £1 per week, with back issues also available separately.
