GRAY

NBM Publishing put out at least 73 issues of a quarterly porn comics anthology and this torrent is 33 of those. It's a bit of a shame that it's less than half the collection because this is a "stable of artists" type of magazine where most of them are recurring (or rotating in and out) across the run, and they're free to extend continuing stories as long as it takes to tell them. This is porn though, so the tales are more top-heavy than plot-heavy. The artists are a mix of American and European, and all of them seem excellent. It's great mix of cartoony, realistic (sometimes photo-realistic), genre pastiche and real-life sexual situations. I'm also seeing that NBM put out some of the completed works in graphic albums, so if you get caught up in one of the sagas, you can always look for those. Gay material is (obviously) girl on girl. Of special note is one appearance by Milo Manara, a couple of stories by Brandon Graham and the serialization of the last volume of Omaha: The Cat Dancer twenty years after Kate Worley died of cancer (again though, it's not the entirety of that story - for that you'll have to download the complete volume). Anyway, lots of undressing, licking, inserting and gooey fluids.

Can Alissa agree to a marriage on his terms? Dirk Matheson is a VP at Alissa's company, and every woman there has a crush on him. He’s talented and mysterious, and his many relationships with supermodels and celebrities, which rarely last even two weeks, have earned him a reputation as a playboy. Alissa, the CEO’s dutiful but plain secretary, never imagined she might have any common ground with him…until the night he hit on her. Then they started dating, and before she knew what hit her, he was proposing to her…but nothing can prepare her for his next request: “If you marry me, I want you to give up on ever having children.” Alissa loves him, but will that love be enough for her to agree to his terms?

Emily’s happy life has been shattered. Her doctor husband, who was supposed to be attending a medical conference, was found dead of asphyxiation…in his mistress’s apartment! Was everything, including his love for her, a lie? Emily is deeply hurt as she tries to wrestle with the cruel news. The one person who holds out a helping hand in her time of need is her late husband’s brother, Dillon. Despite the fact that Dillon was always cool and indifferent toward her while she was married, he’s now pulled a complete one-eighty and is taking care of her every need. But behind his kindness, Dillon is hiding an even deeper secret.

School life of Keine and Mokou.

Mokous develops an unusual interest in make-up, but it seems Keine has her own issues with that.

"Vivit Gray returns to the high-school setting of Dandelion, for more Mokou x Keine in high school uniforms goodness."

Jonah Hex (2006–2011) is a gritty, violent, and beautifully told Western that doesn’t try to romanticize the Old West—it drags it through the mud and blood where it belongs. Each issue is a mostly self-contained tale following Jonah Hex, a scarred, sharp-shooting bounty hunter with a code of honor buried under layers of cynicism and gun smoke. Writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, along with standout artists like Darwyn Cooke and Jordi Bernet, deliver everything from brutal showdowns to tragic morality plays, painting the frontier as a lawless place where justice is often just another name for revenge. If you like your stories hard-boiled, your protagonists morally complex, and your violence unflinching, this run of Jonah Hex is a criminally underrated gem.
