Le scénariste et dessinateur David Lapham s’occupera de deux nouvelles mini-séries chez Dark Horse; Juice Squeezers et Kid McAllister: Electric Cowboy. La première fait suite aux segments publiés dans l’anthologie Dark Horse Presents sur un groupe de jeunes enfants en guerre contre des insectes géants.
Le premier numéro sortira en janvier, précédè en décembre d’une diffusion digitale compilant l’intégralité de l’histoire parue dans Dark Horse Presents. Juice Squeezers devrait être suivi d’une deuxième mini-série intitulée Juice Squeezers: the Legend of Tommy Millbrooke.

Tunnels made by a legion of giant bugs crisscross the fields below Weeville, and only one thing can stop them from overrunning this quaint California town: the Juice Squeezers. A covert group comprised of scrawny tweens, the Squeezers are the only ones who can fit into the cramped subterranean battlefield and fight the insects on the frontlines!
Eisner Award–winning creator David Lapham!
A bug-gore-filled young adult action adventure story in the vein of E.T., The Goonies, and Stand by Me!
“The story is fun, the characters’ interactions are charming and interesting and the art is to die for. Lapham’s style is masterful and Loughridge’s colors complement the style and story.”—Comic Bastards[/quote]
