LOEG TEMPEST #5
ONEILL
(W) Alan Moore (A) Kevin O'Neill (CA) Kevin O'Neill
Ostensibly a cheap British reprint of pre-code American horror, this penultimate stop on Moore and O'Neill's pyrotechnic farewell tour takes us from the tortured mind of artist Richard Dadd to a London swallowed by darkness; from a spectacular 3D struggle in the Blazing World to some jaw-dropping vengeance in Vauxhall and a conclusion that is out of this world. Meanwhile our Seven Stars finally come face to writhing mess with the monstrous menace of the 'Mass while providing origins for both Satin Astro and the Flash Avenger. Don't miss the never-to-be-repeated cavalcade of wonders that is The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume IV: The Tempest.
RED PANDA & MOON BEAR TP #1
(W) Jarod Rosello (A) Jarod Rosello (CA) Jarod Rosello
Red Panda and Moon Bear are the defenders of their community! Together, these brave siblings rescue lost cats, scold bullies, and solve mysteries, all before Mama and Papa get home. But lately... the mysteries have been EXTRA mysterious. All of RP and MB's powers may not be enough to handle spooks, supervillains, alien invaders, and time warps! It'll take all their imagination-and some new friends-to uncover the secret cause behind all these events before the whole world goes crazy. In his first book for young readers, Cuban-American cartoonist Jarod Rosell presents a whimsical and tender-hearted adventure, packed with Saturday-morning adventure and glowing with Miami sunshine. Featuring a combination of cartoon action and magical realism, equally inspired by Spy Kids, Junot Diaz, Gravity Falls, and The Powerpuff Girls. Made up of 10 chapter-length adventures that stand alone but weave together into a stunning climax.
SHINING BEACON TP
(W) James Albon (A) James Albon (CA) James Albon
Francesca Saxon, artist and loyal citizen of the nation, is thrilled when she receives a commission to design the central mural of an epic new swimming pool: the jewel in the crown for an insecure regime obsessed by propaganda. Leaving the comfort of her coastal hometown for the lap of luxury of the capital, she is swept up in the paranoia of a government threatened by underground revolutionaries, whose promise of a freer, happier future looks increasingly appealing. Torn between rival factions and her personal loyalties, she realizes that when ideology has a stranglehold on art, the picture is rarely pretty. Advance solicited for April release! "James Albon's delicate and utterly unique artwork is so alive on the page, you can help but be charmed and completely swept up."-Jeff Lemire, author of Essex County and The Underwater Welder
