MAIN & MIX CVRS

(W) Josh Bayer (A) Noah Van Sciver (CA) Das Pastoras

A deadly manhunt in pursuit of an escaped maniac pushes Blind Justice, "The Man Who Walks Through Bullets," to his absolute limits. Justice finds himself far from Optic City, exhausted, wounded and on the brink of unraveling a new mystery, darker and stranger than any encountered before. In This DOUBLE-SIZE Special, Blind Justice will face an evil that tests everything he knows about himself and his mission. This, my friends- is IT! and it spells T-H-E E-N-D of All Time Comics, Season One - and anything can happen!

BLOODY CARDINAL GN

The Bloody Cardinal is presumed to be dead. However, he left behind a journal which has become highly sought after and the hunt for his diary has been tied to a string of violent murders. Who is behind these crimes? Could it be The Bloody Cardinal himself? Richard Sala is the modern master of witty mystery and horror comics, and this latest thriller is wickedly smart and funny.

COSPLAYERS TP PERFECT COLLECTION

Cosplayers is an ode to that defining element of fandom, the "costume play" of so many anime and comic conventions. Celebrating both the culture's theatricality and D.I.Y. beauty, as well as its often awkward conflation of fantasy and reality, Cosplayers explores these delicate balancing acts via a series of interconnected short stories. Cosplayers will be released around the same time as Shaw's feature film, My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea goes into wide release in 2017. This expanded edition also includes the 2016 single issue comic book, A Cosplayers Christmas, as well as the original short story that inspired the film.

EDUCATION GN

(W) John Hankiewicz (A) John Hankiewicz (CA) John Hankiewicz

In this experimental and rewarding graphic novel, chronology and permanence are in flux while surreal illusions weave in and out of lucid states, remarkably held together by John Hankiewicz's confident, clean line and crosshatchings. Much like Here by Richard McGuire, Education is a time-fracture stream of consciousness told by a veteran cartoonist in his poetic prime.

FANTAGRAPHICS STUDIO ED HC HAL FOSTER PRINCE VALIANT

(W) Hal Foster (A) Hal Foster (CA) Hal Foster

Hal Foster's Prince Valiant Artist's Edition is a 192-page collection scanned from Foster's original pages and printed in full color, capturing every nuance of Foster's masterly brush strokes. Each page is so rare that the sum total of the original art reprinted in this book would likely cost millions. From Foster's very first Prince Valiant page to his very last the public will be treated to a selection of some of the most iconic and beautiful comic art ever made.

GROSZ HC

George Grosz (1893-1959) was a German fine artist, cartoonist, and teacher who drew from pop culture, was active in the Dada and New Objectivist movements in post WWI Berlin. Lars Fiske's graphic biography channels the exuberance and fascination with line that typified Grosz's work and is a far cry from the plodding pedantry of the graphic hagiographies that earnestly clutter library shelves; it's a work of art in its own right.

JOHNNY APPLESEED HC

Johnny Appleseed spread the seeds of apple trees from Pennsylvania to Indiana, along with notions of nonviolence, vegetarianism, good relations with the indigenous peoples, and peace among the settlers. The story runs counter to the prevailing glorification of violent conquest depicting how the West was won. Johnny Appleseed brings this quintessentially American story to life through the deft skills of biographer Paul Buhle (Radical America, The Beats) and award-winning graphic novelist Noah Van Sciver

LOVE & ROCKETS MAGAZINE #3

(W) Gilbert Hernandez (A) Gilbert Hernandez (CA) Gilbert Hernandez

What is "punk"? What did it all mean? What does it mean now? What will it mean in the end? The Locas girls's punk reunion has come to a close but the evening has just begun. Also, the Animus situation has gotten too BIG for reunited sisters Lumina and Isla. Meanwhile, on the Gilbert side: Fritz starred in a Dr. Who ripoff only to see her 10-year-old daughter take over the role before returning to the show's last episode 5 years later. Meanwhile, Fritz's newly reunited twin daughters get to (uncomfortably) know one another and meet a classic Palomar character (or three)!

OTHERWORLD BARBARA HC #2

(W) Moto Hagio (A) Moto Hagio (CA) Moto Hagio

In the second (and concluding) volume in Moto Hagio's award-winning science fiction saga, the poltergeist phenomena has become more intense as Nanami and Kiriya both travel to Engaru, where Aoba has dreamt of the island of Barbara for seven years. In the end, it comes down to a father's frantic efforts to save the life of his son. But... which son? And who is the dreamer and who is the dreamed? Can the dreamer become the dreamed, and the dreamed the dreamer?

UNREAL CITY HC

(W) D.J. Bryant (A) D.J. Bryant (CA) D.J. Bryant

Unreal City contains five stories about relationships, addressing gender, narcissism, marriage, subjectivity, objectification as the characters attempt to make sense of love, sex, art, and life. Existential and elliptical, the artwork echoes such masters as Jaime Hernandez and Daniel Clowes. In Unreal City, characters cannot walk into a room without their world turning inside out. Readers will be similarly upended by the discovery of this major new talent.
