CAPTAIN SWING TP SP ED

(W) Warren Ellis (A) Raulo Caceres (CA) Raulo Caceres

From the sparking-mad mind of Warren Ellis, the creator of TRANSMETROPOLITAN and PLANETARY, comes an electrical romance of a pirate utopia thwarted!  In the London of 1830, newly-minted copper Charlie Gravel keeps seeing things he's not supposed to: a crooked Bow Street Runner with a flintlock revolver, high-flying vessels that are not supposed to fly, and the violent Scientific Phantasmagoria popularly known as Spring-Heeled Jack.  With the coming of Captain Swing and his Electrical Pirates, history shall never be the same!  This crackling new graphic novel is illustrated by Raulo Caceres in a stunning woodcut style, capturing the classic literary feel from days of yore.  Available in softcover and hardcover for MATS, with illustrated covers by Raulo Caceres.

NATURAL SELECTION

(W) Christina Strain (A) Amilcar Pinna (CA) Terry Dodson

The Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach has opened its doors, and is ready to foster the next generation of heroes and diplo MATS! But this time around, the X-Men recognize an unfortunate truth: Not all mutants are created equal. Some mutants are just not made to fight Sentinels or serve as ambassadors on behalf of their kind. Some will be lucky just to see another day in a world that hates and fears them. These are the students who should be kept out of harm's way when the Purifiers target the campus. Or when a mutant-stealing monster has an all-too-familiar face. And who better to mentor lovable losers like Eye-Boy, Nature Girl and - wait, Quentin Quire? - through life out of the limelight...than perpetual sidekick Jubilee! But will her Generation X survive the experience?! Collecting GENERATION X (2017) #1-5. Rated T+

(W) Daniel Abraham (A) Rafa Lopez (CA) Felipe Massafera

From George R.R. Martin, author of the New York Times best-selling novel series A Song of Ice and Fire, comes a moonlit tale of feuding vampire clans, death, and debauchery in the bayou! Set in 1857 along the muddy Mississippi, FEVRE DREAM introduces Abner Marsh, a remarkably ugly man who longs to captain the fastest steamboat on the river. When a pale, mysterious gentleman named Joshua - who keeps strange hours and stranger friends - approaches him with an offer of partnership, Abner's dreams appear to come true... though he may have unleashed a nightmare on the unsuspecting shores! Adapted by Hugo-nominated author Daniel Abraham and artist Rafa Lopez, this graphic novel stays faithful to Martin's original dark vision, immersing the reader in the tortures and joys of vampire society. Available in softcover and hardcover for MATS, with illustrated covers by Felipe Massafera (Alan Moore's LIGHT OF THY COUNTENANCE).
