CORTO MALTESE THE EARLY YEARS TP

(W) Hugo Pratt (A) Hugo Pratt (CA) Hugo Pratt

This short adventure tells the backstory of Corto Maltese first meeting Rasputin at the end of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. The protagonist of this tale is not the 18-year-old Corto but Rasputin, a deserter from a Siberian rifle regiment, and the writer Jack London, who was a war correspondent in the region at that time. London is already friends with Corto and introduces the sailor to the unpredictable Russian, who even as a young man kills with disconcerting ease and is ready to lie and betray without hesitation. It is, however, "the beginning of a beautiful friendship" that continues throughout the series. As a bonus, the book includes additio NAl material that sets up the entire series, as well as several never-before published pages that Pratt intended for a continuation of the tale, in which Corto and Rasputin were to embark on a search for King Solomon's mines. Advance solicited for August. "Classic adventure comics for adults, enjoyable but with depth. Strongly recommended." -Library Jour NAl

COUNTERFEIT GIRL TP

(W) Peter Milligan

In a city ruled by the multi NAtio NAl corporations, identity is crucial; no one can get anywhere without being monitored, logged, and status-checked. Fortu NAtely for some, if a new I.D. is needed, there are "simmers," backstreet I.D. thieves that can create new perso NAs by stealing the identities of others. Libra Kelly is a simmer with an axe to grind, doing jobs that cause trouble for the corporations free of charge, but soon finds herself stuck with a termi NAlly diseased I.D. and a price on her head!

(W) Sheldon Allen (A) Armin Ozdic

The world's deadliest contract killer just received his next target: A man some believe to be the modern Jesus Christ. Lucas Blank, a gun for hire, finds himself contracted by a powerful NGO to execute a figure known only as the Messiah, who recently stopped a Los Angeles race riot with a single word. Lucas is a professio NAl and it's just another job until he has his finger on the trigger and is about to complete the job, that is, until the Messiah sees him and he suffers a crisis of conscience. The NGO becomes more desperate than ever to see the Messiah dead at any costs, including sacrificing those that Lucas holds most dear. One bullet. One kill. A billion consequences.

Deep down, however, Kazama is a goodhearted kid who finds himself and his loyal gang in over their heads when they stumble upon the Game Creation Club. The club's formidable members, Chitose, Sakura, Mi NAmi, and Roka, are four girls whom he might actually be attracted to if they weren't so freaking weird. Can Kazama resist the girls' bizarre charms and return to some semblance of a normal, everyday life... or is it "game over" for our hapless hero?
