Adventures calling: Werewolves and vampires have their moment, as do detectives, amateur sleuths and martial artists.

These 10 new comic book series will delight a wide swath of readers. They include stories about new romance, high school rivalries, creepy times in New England and an examination of truth. Others chronicle vampires on the lam, a private eye with a vendetta and a vision of Earth’s final days. There are also tales about superheroes in which they meet family, explore new worlds and reflect on history.

We Live

This comic could be depressing yet manages to be hopeful. First, some bad news: Decades from now, the world’s population has been decimated by strife and climate change. Extinction is near. But 5,000 children will be saved if they find “rescue bracelets” to transport them off the planet. The good news: One child, Hotoro, is given a device by his sister, who sacrifices herself as it works for only one person. But the journey to the extraction point will not be easy.

Written by the brothers Roy Miranda and Inaki Miranda, who also draws. Arrives Oct 14.
