Specs (2022)

In this mysterious new series from writer David M. Booher (Canto, All-New Firefly) and artist Chris Shehan (House of Slaughter), what happens when a couple of misfit teens mail-order a pair of X-ray glasses, and realize they've received much more than they bargained for? But all Kenny and Ted want is to not feel like outcasts in their small Ohio town. Their world is turned upside down when the Magic Specs they receive unlock a world of possibilities. Their wishes start out innocent enough, but when they wish that their bully would disappear... things take a cursed turn, with far darker consequences than they thought possible...

In this Stranger Things meets Stand by Me story from House of Slaughter artist Chris Shehan and writer David M. Booher (All-New Firefly), the Magic Specs were far more than Kenny and Ted signed up for. Given their unwillingness to acknowledge the dangerous consequences of their recent wish, what does this mean for their victim, and what do they do with the glasses moving forward? Kenny fears that all of this may affect his and Ted's relationship... and wonders if they'll truly remain just "friends."

Ted is behind bars at the police station after his wrongful arrest, but he's unfortunately far from alone, as an angry mob blames him for Skunk's "murder." Kenny is desperate to help, relentlessly searching for the company that created the Magic Specs. Will a Hail Mary wish be enough to get Ted off the hook and set things right, or will it just drag them deeper into trouble?

In the midst of Ted still being a suspect for murder with the town against him, a sequence of events following Skunk's disappearance could change things forever. But what consequences will one final wish have for Ted and Kenny's present?
